Iowa post unfilled Horowitz awaits news on job
By Regan Brown
Kansan staff writer
Frances Horowitz, KU vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, is still a candidate for the presidency of the University of Iowa.
However, a decision in December by the Iowa Board of Regents to ask the presidential search committee to find more candidates for the job will postpone the selection of a new president until later this year, said Tom Bauer, associate director of university relations at Iowa.
Bauer said this week that the Regents had asked the search committee to submit the names of four candidates, in addition to Horowitz and Richard D. Remington, Iowa vice president for academic affairs and interim president since last July.
Horowitz was one of four finalists to visit the Iowa City campus last month. The 17-member presidential search committee selected two of those candidates, Horowitz and Nils Hasslemo, provost at the University of Arizona at Tucson, as finalists for the job.
Hasslemo has unofficially withdrawn from the race since then, Bauer said, prompting the Regents to request names of more candidates
for the job. The Regents have the final authority to hire a new president.
Sam Becker, president of the search committee, said yesterday that there had been some misunderstanding about the number of names the Regents wanted. He said the request for more names was no reflection on Horwitz's abilities.
"Dr. Horowitz has been very good about this, very understanding," he said. "She is definitely a contender."
Horowitz said yesterday that she expected to receive word in March regarding the position. She declined further comment on her candidacy.
Horowitz received her doctoral degree in developmental psychology from Iowa She has taught at KU for the last 26 years and was named the first vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service in 1978.
Iowa's presidential search committee has been looking for a new president since May.
Iowa, a Big Ten conference university, had an enrollment of about 29,000 last fall. It has a reputation as a major midwestern research university.

Good Grief.
Whether you're into business science or engineering,a TI calculator can make your courses easier to take.
Every year, thousands of hapless students watch their course load become an overload. And every year,the smart ones among them pick up a TI calculator and take a load off.
TI calculators have all the right functions you need. We offer everything from advanced scientifics that clock your performance to programmables that speak your language to a solar-powered calculator that highlights your answers even in lowlight conditions.
And the large, color-coded keys and simple keyboard layouts make TI calculators easier to use than any other. Maybe that's why more students rely on TI calculators than any other brand.
