University of Toledo’s former interim president and current engineering college dean is one of three finalists for the University of North Dakota presidency.
Nagi Naganathan, who served as UT’s interim president for a year before July’s arrival of Sharon Gaber, was among six candidates to visit the campus in Grand Forks, N.D., recently.
North Dakota officials on Friday announced Mr. Naganathan is one three finalists to participate in final interviews with the State Board of Higher Education. The interviews are scheduled for Tuesday on the public research university’s campus. A decision on who to hire is expected that day.
The other finalists are Steven Shirley, president of Minot State University in North Dakota, and Mark Kennedy, director of the Graduate School of Political Management at George Washington University and a former U.S. congressman from Minnesota.
