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. The search committee convened in Au­ gust and worked with the Academic Search Consultation Service in Washington, D.C., to identify candidates.
