NORTHRIDGE : 4 Finalists for CSUN President Selected
The field of candidates for the presidency of Cal State Northridge was narrowed Tuesday to four longtime educators. The finalists, chosen by a search committee from the Cal State Board of Trustees, come from a field of nearly 100 applicants and include two women, one of whom is black.
The finalists are: H. Ray Hoops, vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Mississippi; Blenda J. Wilson, chancellor of the University of Michigan-Dearborn; Ronald H. Stein, vice president for university relations at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and Claire Van Ummersen, chancellor of the university system in New Hampshire.
A new president, who will replace James W. Cleary, will be selected in May. The committee was charged with finding someone committed to academic excellence as well as the needs of a multiethnic student body in a metropolitan suburb.
