"I have always been opposed to having a single finalist."

Boulder, CO - This week the 17-member CU Presidential Search Committee presented a single finalist for President of the CU System to the Board of Regents: Bruce Benson.
      I have always been opposed to having a single finalist. I wanted at least six finalists, with different backgrounds, including academics with national standing. Let me be very clear, I have not voted for Mr. Benson to be the next president, but for nothing more than the next phase of vetting by faculty, the university community, and legislators.
