Elon close to hiring dean
Elon has narrowed its search for a law school dean to three candidates, said a spokesman Tuesday.
"We've had several candidates on campus for interviews," said David Hibbard, a spokesman. "We're getting feedback from faculty and evaluating it now."
While the school would not name the candidates or a decision date, it could happen in the next week.
Elon has said it would like to appoint a dean by March 1 in order to ensure that he or she has time to hire faculty and staff and prepare for the fall 2006 opening.
President Leo Lambert will make the final decision, which will not have to be voted on by the school's board of trustees.
