Fall Reunions Bring Classmates Together

Committee Narrows Search For President
The Texas A&M University presidential search committee has narrowed a list of potential
top administrators to three nationally recognized sitting campus presidents. A&M
professor and committee Chairman Doug Slack would not reveal any names, but he did
state that one of the candidates is ranked by peers as one of the top five university
presidents in the nation. No definitive schedule has been established for completing
the search. Board of Regents Chairman Bill Jones ’81 said the panel would take as
long as necessary to adequately review each candidate. For more on this story, go
