Five finalists to be the next provost and executive vice chancellor will visit campus between Jan. 22 and Feb. 14, search committee chairman Jeff Aube has announced. The committee is seeking a replacement for David Shulenburger, who steps down this summer after 13 years as KU's chief academic officer.

The names of the candidates will be announced two days before their campus visits; the first was announced Thursday (after Oread went to press). The announcements will be posted on www.ku.edu and www.news.ku.edu.

Additional information about the finalists and the search will be posted at www.ku.edu/~oirp/ ProvostSearch/.

The finalists will give public presentations Jan. 23, Feb. 2, Feb. 6, Feb. 9 and Feb. 13. All presentations will be at 4 p.m. in the Simons Media Room in the Dole Institute of Politics, with receptions following at 5 p.m. in Hansen Hall at the institute.
