The three student representatives on the University's presidential search committee held their first discussion forum last night in the Frist Campus Center, seeking to learn more about what other students want in their next University president.The five students who attended the meeting, however, were disappointed that the search committee participants did not discuss the candidates that are being considered or the details of the selection process.USG president PJ Kim '01 explained that search committees in the past have had difficulty with issues of confidentiality, especially when considering administrators at other institutions."I think it is important to clarify . . . we can't really say that much about what we're thinking about," he said to the small group, adding that members are not allowed to discuss the committee's proceedings.The few students in attendance said they were expecting to learn more about the process during the meeting because it had been promoted to "provide students with an opportunity to learn more about the search," according to the presidential search committee's Website."I came here tonight to listen to what other students had to say and learn more about the process," said Dan Zauber '03.The coordinators of the meeting ? Lauren Hale GS, Lisa Lazarus '02 and Kim ? were to be joined by University Secretary and Vice President Thomas Wright '62, but he was not in attendance.The students, however, were able to discuss several issues that they believe the search committee should consider.
