Dr. Solaro reported for the committee, giving a description of the work pursued since September 1995. He stated that the committee had interviewed eight candidates for the position of chancellor at the Chicago campus and had reduced the list to four names to refer to the board and the president. Dr. Solaro noted that all four candidates have excellent qualifications and that they also possessed differences. He indicated that all were prepared to become chancellor of the Chicago campus. Each candidate was then discussed. The two committee members and Mr. Funk commented on the candidates. President Stukel then presented a plan for conducting interviews with these candidates with the board. The dates of March 21-22, 1996, were established as the times for interviewing the candidates, in Chicago.
