The Ithacan has learned that Tarr was of­ fered the position but turned it down. "It's simply a matter of personal consid­ erations and other competing priorities," Tarr said. "We thought Ithaca College was a won­ derful place, so it has nothing to do with the college or anything negative in that regard." -Dunnick, calling the two withdrawals "sad news," declined to provide further details. The f,vo remaining candidates are Thomas Armstrong, special assistant to the president at Texas Wesleyan Univer­ sity in Fort Worth, and Pe­ ',,-, ter Bardaglio, interim vice president and acad­ emic dean at Goucher College in Baltimore. Dunnick said there is no timeline for when a decision will be reached. "Searches sometimes conclude very quickly, ARMSTRONG and sometimes they get drawn out for a variety of reasons," he said.

All four of them visited campus before Winter Break. The consulting firm, which the school hired to find a replacement for former provost Jim Malek, combed the country, even reaching around the world to Aus­ tralia to draw one candidate. Yet, a month later, two candidates have withdrawn from the pool, and the administration has little to say oth­ er than the search continues. After Malek announced his departure, the college did move quick­ ly to recruit candidates. Completing the interviews within a semester was impres~ive, m terms of national searches for high-level adminis­ trative Jobs. Yet this flurry of activity seems to have ceased suddenly. The search has been completed. The search committee, President Williams and the consultants selected four qualified finalists. So what has created the stall, and why does there seem to be no explanation for it? Searches m the recent past seem to follow a strikingly similar pat­ tern. For example, the first appointee in last year's affirmative action officer search declined, and it took another search and six months un­ til the post was filled in August. Roger Richardson"s appointment as multicultural affairs director - an eight-month process - came only after the initial search failed to produce any finalists. Now, the search for a provost seems to be headed in the same di­ rection. One finalist withdrew shortly after visiting the campus. An­ other was offered the position and turned it down. Something seems to drive candidates away after they step onto South Hill. The provost's role in the academic life of the campus 1s critical - too critical to fill with anyone but the best person for the job. The ap­ Letters parent first choice has already withdrawn. If one of the remaining candidates would make a top-notch provost, MLK efforts succeed rush dates- this semester.
