Prof. Kirtley Quoted in Star Tribune on U President Search

Professor Jane Kirtley discussed secrecy and the search for the new University of Minnesota president in an article in the Star Tribune. Addressing concerns about candidates who might be discouraged from applying because of publicity issues, Kirtley noted, "If you're going to be the president of a public university, one of the first things you're going to be subject to is public oversight. You might as well get used to it." She also observed that at a land grant university, "The public literally has a right to know how this search process is being conducted."
