"Jim" Infante, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost at the University of Minnesota, will be recommended for continuation in the post by university President Nils Hasselmo at the February meeting of the university's Board of Regents. Hasselmo will use university search guidelines permitting "non-competitive appointments" in asking the regents to continue Infante's one-year appointment without a formal search. The rule states that persons may be appointed without searches when a unique hiring situation exists. Such situations include "the opportunity to hire an under-represented minority, or someone so recognized in professional or academic achievements as to confer a definite and distinct benefit to the mission ofthe university." Hasselmo said the university's financial situation constitutes special circumstances that require continuous and strong leadership, and that Infante's qualifications as an administrator make it unlikely that a search would turn up a bener candidate. Also, Hasselmo said a search would be costly, and he expressed reluctance to undertake one in which the odds offinding a more qualified candidate are low. Although a fonnal search hasn't been done, Hasselmo said he has consulted representatives of the university's deans, faculty, professional and administrative staff, civil service staff and students in making his recommendation. Hasselmo cited Infante's record of hiring and promoting women and minorities. Before assuming his current post, Infante was dean of the university's Institute ofTechnology, where he hired IT's first female associate dean and program director, created new positions in order to hire women in engineering departments, and established working relationships between the university and Howard and Jackson State universities, both historically black institutions. Before joining the university, Infante was director of the National Science Foundation's Division ofMathematics and Computer Science, where he hired women as deputy director and senior administrator. Infante began a one-year appointment as academic vice president last July, following the resignation of Leonard Kuhi.
