OUS narrows field
for new chancellor
■ Finalists for the top higher
education position in Oregon
will be announced Sunday
By Eric Martin
Oregon Daily Emerald
By Sunday, the State Board of
Higher Education will have a
clearer idea of who will replace
Chancellor Joe Cox as the most
powerful higher education official
in the state.
“We want to have the field nar
rowed by the end of the week,” Ore
gon University System spokesman
Bob Bruce said Monday. “The hope
is to have them in Oregon as soon as
possible so they can meet with ad
ministrators, faculty and students.”
Bruce said his office will issue a
news release Sunday that will name
the finalists and give biographical
sketches of each. He said the re
maining candidates are “very quali
fied” and each has a strong academ
ic background. The field has been
pared to fewer than 10 applicants,
Bruce added.
The search to find a chancellor
has taken the State Board’s consid
eration across the nation and to each
campus in the OUS. In a series of
public forums, faculty, students and
administrators at each university
identified which traits they believe
the chancellor must possess to run a
system with a 2001-02 budget the
Legislature cut by $70.8 million.
Some say the chancellor must
have the political savvy to secure
more funding from the Legislature.
Others believe the lifeblood of the
system could be preserved by seek
ing unique partnerships with pri
vate industry. And still others say
the chancellor position should be
eliminated completely to save mon
ey. But many agree the OUS leader
must possess a realistic and opti
mistic vision for mending Oregon
higher education.
“The new chancellor coming into
the office is going to have to be com
fortable with change,” student

board member Tim Young said.
“And they must be willing to work
with lawmakers.”
Cox, who said he will step
down once a candidate is select
ed, told the State Board during an
April 19 meeting that the chancel
lor is the “deal maker” for Ore
gon’s public universities. He said
to attract the best applicant, the
State Board would have to in
crease the chancellor’s salary from
$153,480 to between $180,000
and $190,000 per year.
The State Board Executive Com
mittee has worked with the Los
Angeles office of a nationwide
search firm, Korn/Ferry Interna
tional, since February to find a
new chancellor.
On July 17, Cox announced that
he would retire in spring 2002 to de
vote more time to teaching and
higher education consulting. He
suffered a heart attack Sept. 8 and
said it “reminded me of my own
mortality and of some of the things I
want to do and places I want to see. ”
Cox has been chancellor for
eight years.
“I’m a fatalist,” Cox said in a No
vember interview. “I believe Yogi
Berra had it right when he said, ‘You
know, there’s only so many hits in a
bat, and then it’s time to know when
to change. ’ I’ve had a great run. ”
