NU presidential finalists could be named Monday

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The University of Nebraska's presidential search committee could name four finalists for the job on Monday.

The committee has amended its agenda for a scheduled meeting to allow for a vote on names that would be presented to the university's Board of Regents.

Regent Howard Hawks, the board chairman, says in a statement that the amendment doesn't guarantee that four finalists will be chosen on Monday. But it will give search-committee members the opportunity to vote.

Nebraska law requires that names of the finalists be made public.

The search for a new president officially began in March after former President J.B. Milliken left the university to become chancellor of the City University of New York.
