The Press-Citizen and Gazette are reporting that the top post at the University of Iowa has been offered to Dr. Sally Mason of Purdue University. Dr. Mason will be the second woman to serve in this position (Current University of Michigan president Mary Sue Coleman was U of I's president from 1995-2002).Though the Board of Regents at the University of Iowa aren’t expected to vote until Thursday, the board is expected to name Provost Sally Mason as the university’s next president.
The Des Moines Register reported today that sources at Iowa expect Mason to be the board’s top pick.
The regents' first attempt to name a successor failed last November when none of the finalists were judged to have sufficient experience in running a health science center.
Given the long job search and antagonism raised in the search process, I wish Dr. Mason a long stay in Iowa City.
