James Oblinger, the former N.C. State chancellor who resigned earlier this year amid questions over his handling of the hiring of former First lady Mary Easley and other issues, is a finalist for another top university gig.
Oblinger is one of five finalists for the presidency of the New Mexico State University system.
Oblinger's departure at NCSU was an ugly one. He resigned as questions mounted over his handling of Easley's hiring and of the departure package he okayed for Provost Larry Nielsen.
Months after his resignation, the UNC system's Board of Governors even reduced the amount of pay he received in his own settlement.
And yet, he's not the New Mexico State candidate with the freshest wounds. That would be another of the five announced finalists, Richard Herman.
Herman resigned as chancellor of the University of Illinois just last week, embroiled in a scandal related to his university's admissions process.

Oblinger in running for new job

Shame

Why not cite the student paper for this information?
Wed, 10/28/2009 - 15:53 — festusEric, the Technician ran this story this morning. It appears likely you read the Technician, and then posted it here. That is fine, but why aren't you giving them credit?

Wed, 10/28/2009 - 17:04 — eferreri (author)Festus - Thanks for your comment. The Technician did in fact report this. Here's the latest link - http://www.technicianonline.com/news/former-chancellor-finalist-for-university-president-1.2040346#at
But that's not where I heard about it. It was reported this morning via a New Mexico State news release which was then picked up by the Associated Press. I gleaned my initial reporting from those sources.
Thanks for reading.

YIKES !!!!
