Albany Times-Union: Paterson joins SUNY search talks
Governor meets with university officials on chancellor hunt
ALBANY — Gov. David Paterson met with top SUNY officials on Monday to discuss the chancellor search, a spokeswoman said.
Paterson spokeswoman Marissa Shorenstein confirmed that the governor had been briefed by SUNY Chairman Carl Hayden and Trustee H. Carl McCall. But she declined to comment further “since nothing has been finalized.”
Two people with knowledge of the search said there are two finalists for the job: University of Cincinnati President Nancy Zimpher and Buffalo State College President Muriel Howard.
Zimpher, 62, is the apparent frontrunner as the drawn-out search to replace former Chancellor John Ryan enters its final stage, according to one source.
