Maybe not new, but in response to a direct question in a public forum yesterday, President Kaler said he would announce the new AD in "late April, mid May at the latest." Sounds like they have identified their candidate, or at least a very short list, and are looking for a smooth transition. He was pretty smooth and knew just how to get the sports stuff in there without it dominating his talk which was not primarily about sports. He is talking the talk about changing the culture at the U to a winning attitude without sacrificing academics. I hope he walk the walk, too, and knows what he is up against in the bureaucracy over there.
