KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Some of the people vying for the job of leading the four-campus University of Missouri system will interview this week in Kansas City with a search committee.
Board of Curators Chairman Warren says the pool has been reduced from "well over 100" to about 40.
The Kansas City Star reported (http://bit.ly/pJ3w3r ) that Erdman would not say how many of the candidates will visit Kansas City on Thursday and Friday. He also wouldn't say how many candidates are participating in a second group of interviews next week in St. Louis.
Those having interviews already have had some phone conversations with search members.
The school is looking for a replacement for Gary Forsee. The former Sprint chief executive officer stepped down in January from the MU system job to care for his wife, who has cancer.
