The University of Minnesota will choose new president from about 60 candidates

About 60 candidates have applied to be the next University of Minnesota president.

Almost 150 people had applied for the job the last time the U sought a new president in 2010, though applications this time around could continue trickling in until the campus search committee recommends finalists, likely later this month. The university had encouraged candidates to apply before Oct. 29, and the committee met last week to size up the applicant pool. It decided to move forward with choosing applicants to interview rather than redoubling recruitment efforts.
