Gathering data for this has taken a while and now I realize I have way more than most of my readers want to know. So now I'm editing it. I also have material for four or five more posts on the search and the candidate. We'll see how many I get done.
In the meantime, I wanted to let people know that in an email communication from Jim Johnsen, I did learn that the campus visits are supposed to be the week of July 6, with the Anchorage visit scheduled for July 8. I'm posting that here because I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else and a few people have asked me. The Board of Regents' Search Committee page's last announcement was June 4 - when they announced that there would only be one candidate visiting the campuses.
I put might in the title, because I'm wondering if the original schedule is still good.
I'm not sure why they are waiting to announce the dates, but I think people should get as much advance warning as possible so they can arrange to see the candidate.
[UPDATE June 30, 2015: As KS comments below, the schedule of visits is now up. Here's a link to the whole schedule, and below is the Anchorage schedule.
