Finalists chosen for VP for instruction

Four finalists have been chosen for the position of vice president for instruction at UGA.

The candidates will be on campus beginning April 24 for meetings with faculty, students and administrators, and each will speak at an open forum.
The finalists are:
• Delmer Dunn, director of the Institute of Higher Education at UGA. Dunn is also Regents Professor of Political Science and has been associate vice president for academic affairs and director of the Carl Vinson Institute of Government.
• Laurie S. Hayes, vice provost for undergraduate studies at Colorado State University. A speech communication professor, Hayes was previously at the University of Minnesota where she was an associate dean for student affairs in the College of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences, and was interim associate vice president for student affairs.
• Peter Shedd, interim vice president for instruction and associate provost at UGA since last December. Previously Shedd was associate vice president for instruction, and he was executive assistant to former UGA President Charles Knapp. He is a professor of insurance, legal studies and real estate in the Terry College of Business.
• David E. Stuart, associate provost for academic affairs at the University of New Mexico. Stuart previously held the positions of associate and assistant vice president for academic affairs and special assistant to the vice president. He is a professor of architecture and planning and has a part-time appointment as professor of anthropology.
The finalists were chosen in a national search conducted by a search committee headed by Richard Mullendore, vice president for student affairs.
The vice president’s position became vacant when Tom Dyer stepped down this past December to return to teaching and research.
Karen Holbrook, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost, created the position in 1999, and Dyer was the first person to hold the post.
