Cool she's that loyal, smart move to go interim and not pick the best immediately available for a position like this. Not ideal, but played properly.

This is information I already know. I do not understand your comment. Is there a point to it.

This is information I already know. I do not understand your comment. Is there a point to it. I wasn't aware they offered her the presidency, nor was that publicized or released. I'll check with you before subsequent posts to make sure it's all fresh material. Who is the "they" you are referring to, La Salle or Lemoyne? Didn't you see the post above that shows the message to the La Salle community from Bill Sautter that outlines what happened: March 26, 2014 To the La Salle Community: In my last communication to you concerning the Presidential Search process, I said that more information on the candidate to whom the Presidency had been offered would be forthcoming at the appropriate time. It is now possible for me to confirm that an offer had been extended to Linda LeMura, Ph.D., Provost of Le Moyne College, to serve as the next President of La Salle University, and that an unforeseen confluence of events prevented her from accepting. The day after we informed Dr. LeMura that she had been selected, the current president of Le Moyne confidentially informed his trustees that he was engaged in a search that would likely lead to his departure. Faced with the potential loss of their president, provost, and two deans (who indicated they would leave Le Moyne if Dr. LeMura would no longer be at the school), the trustees of Le Moyne made a strong, heartfelt appeal to her to remain at the school. It is a testament to her sense of loyalty, honor, and dedication that she chose to do so. Dr. LeMura and the Le Moyne trustees asked that we not mention these details until their leadership situation was resolved; that happened on Friday, and a public statement to that effect was issued by the college this week. In granting this request, we believed that the La Salle family would share the University Trustees’ desire to act in an honorable, respectful manner to an individual of whom we thought highly enough to select as our next President. We wish Dr. LeMura and Le Moyne every future success, and we thank you all for your patience and understanding in waiting for this explanation. With this said, I can also report that the Executive Committee of the Trustees came to an agreement that the most prudent step at this time is to move to an Interim Presidency and to begin a new Presidential Search in three to four months. The Committee further agreed that the Interim President will not be a candidate for a full term of office, thus giving us the benefit of time to conduct a thorough, unbiased search. The consultant for the previous search, and other consultants in college and university leadership, agreed that this decision is both consistent with best practices in higher education and the most advantageous course of action to secure the University’s interests. We have already begun the process of identifying potential candidates for the Interim Presidency and will provide a status report once the full Board has made its selection. A version of this statement has been posted on the University Web site under the Presidential Search banner, and in it we once more express our appreciation to the Search Committee members for the supreme skill and dedication with which they discharged their duties. We also emphasize our commitment to making certain that the Christian Brothers’ ethos, strength of character, and commitment to Lasallian Catholic education, which have guided the University in its first 151 years, will be respected and preserved in the Board’s Presidential decision. Lastly, the statement notes that though the process did not yield the result we all would have anticipated or preferred, it did identify key issues that will be of significant help in selecting the best possible Interim (and then, full-term) President for the University. We remain confident that the results of our efforts will insure that La Salle’s brightest days are yet to come, and, once more, we thank you for your understanding and support. Sincerely yours, William R. Sautter Chairman Board of Trustees La Salle University I think that is what is confusing about your post. Who is not as valiant? Not calling you out, but not sure what your point is.

Yeah I read it. And she was the VP of whatever then. Nothing said she was being offered the job, all it said was that she was staying with the school during a time of turmoil. Speculation is just that.
Reality is, she got offered a comparable job with comparable pay in her hometown. Without knowing her, loyalty is a lot easier when they're offering to make you te head honcho too.

Do some of you guys proofread your posts to make sure the tone is as combative as possible? Jeez. Not sure if you are referring to me, but I was just looking for clarification. I can see where DD did not make the inference from Bill Sautter's announcement that she had been offered the presidency of LeMoyne and maybe I was wrong for making that inference but it turned out to be true. I really am not looking to be combative. Now knowing where DD is coming from, I really don't look at her as any less loyal or admirable for not leaving the place she loves in a lurch. Also, as pointed out, it is her home town so it made staying all that easier. I really think she was a good choice for a variety of reasons but it didn't work out. I don't think there is any villain here, just some bad luck. Onward and upward.

The grapevine has it that the BOT will vote at the end of April to approve James P. Gallagher, PhD, who has been selected by the Executive Committee to be Interim President. Dr. Gallagher was President of Philadelphia University for 23 years, and was Interim President of Arcadia University in 2011.

Dr. Gallagher was President of Philadelphia University for 23 years, and was Interim President of Arcadia University in 2011. Having used their campus as my person cross country course for five years, the transformations between 2004-2009 were remarkable. New gym, many new buildings, always construction. Possible they'll lift the Interim tag?

Speaking of construction... if you haven't walked around University City area in the past few years (Drexel, Penn, HUP, CHOP) you won't recognize the place... new buildings completed or in different phases of being built. The most construction for a 3-mile radius anywhere in the country right now.

Dear Member of the La Salle Community,
This is an exciting and pivotal time in the University’s history. I am confident that we will have a very successful and productive year, and that the culmination of this year will be the appointment of a new, talented, and committed President. As we begin a new academic year, I want to take this opportunity to update you on the progress that has taken place on the Presidential Search this summer.
Recently, I appointed a Presidential Search Committee to help move this important process forward. The Committee includes many talented individuals with diverse perspectives, with representation from students, faculty, alumni, trustees, and the Brothers of the Christian Schools. I am very appreciative of their commitment of time and energy to this significant initiative.
The first meeting of the Search Committee will take place within the next few weeks. Its members are:
William R. Sautter, CPA, ‘71 Chair, La Salle University Board of Trustees Chair, Presidential Search Committee President and CEO, Elliott-Lewis Corp.
James P. Gallagher, Ph.D. Interim President, La Salle University
Elizabeth Harper Briglia, CPA, CAP, ’80 President, La Salle University Alumni Association Vice President of Donor Services and Grantmaking Chester County Community Foundation
Swee-Lim Chia, Ph.D. Co-Chair and Associate Professor, Marketing Department, La Salle University
John M. Daly, M.D., ’69 Member, La Salle University Board of Trustees Donohoo Professor of Surgery, Temple University School of Medicine, Temple University Hospital, and Fox Chase Cancer Center
Zupenda M. Davis, Dr.PH., MPH, MCHES Assistant Professor and Director, Bachelor of Science of Public Health Program, La Salle University
Edward J. Fierko, ’63 Member, La Salle University Board of Trustees President, EJF Associates
Brian A. Goldstein, Ph.D. Dean, School of Nursing and Health Sciences, La Salle University
Holly Harner, Ph.D. Assistant Professor and Chair, Department of Urban Public Health and Nutrition, La Salle University
Brother Dennis Malloy, F.S.C., ’74, M.A. ’83 Member, La Salle University Board of Trustees Visitor, Brothers of the Christian Schools District of Eastern North America
Dennis S. Marlo, CPA, ’64 Member, La Salle University Council of President’s Associates Managing Director, Sanctuary Group, Ltd.
Margaret McGuinness, Ph.D. Vice President for Mission, La Salle University
Lane Neubauer, Ph.D. Associate Dean of Students, Counseling and Health Services, La Salle University
Elizabeth A. Paulin, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Department of Economics and International Studies, NCAA representative La Salle University
Marci Bossow Schankweiler, ’90 Member, La Salle University Council of President’s Associates President, For Pete's Sake Cancer Respite Foundation
Ashley Torres Student, President, Students’ Government Association, La Salle University
William Weaver, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Integrated Science, Business, and Technology Department, La Salle University
Brother Joseph Willard, F.S.C., ’64 Executive Assistant to the President, La Salle University
In addition, numerous nationally recognized search firms with experience in higher education presidential searches were interviewed. Following a highly competitive process, Andrew C. Wheeler, the Managing Director and Practice Leader of the Education and Not-for-Profit Practice at Diversified Search in Philadelphia, was selected to assist us. He and his firm have extensive experience working with colleges and universities.
Moving forward, our next step will be to update the Presidential Search Profile document we created last year. In order for the Search Committee to update this profile, Andrew will begin to collect from La Salle constituencies the attributes that they believe the next President will need to possess to advance the University. Andrew will be visiting the University in September to conduct this study. All members of the La Salle community will have the opportunity to participate in this process. In the coming weeks, we will provide you with more information regarding how you can provide your input.
This is the first of regular messages you will receive from me as the search process moves forward. With this email, updates on the Presidential Search will appear at lasalle.edu/presidentialsearch. This site will serve as a repository for all public information related to La Salle University’s Presidential Search. The site also has an e-mail link, presidentialsearch@lasalle.edu, for sharing your thoughts and questions directly with the Search Committee.
I thank you in advance for your support as we move through this very important process.
Sincerely, William R. Sautter, ’71 Chair, Board of Trustees Chair, Presidential Search Committee

The part I get confused about the most is how Sautter is involved again.. If anything he needs to step away... Great ambassador for the school BUT
he led a failed Presidental search after 15 months.. He should have stepped away from the second go..
I recognize his position but you can follow along and not be active.. Every report has to go by him anyways..

Marci Schankweiler is on the committee. But I get your point. It would probably be a good idea to have an early 2000's grad involved.

For those upset that Sautter is in charge of the second search. He IS the President of the BOT. In other words, the top person. Who would you want the Vice-President? Interesting the size is 17 people. I am sure there is a lot of work but seems too large to me but what do I know?

That is still a big gap of a lack of representation. Marci is a great choice, and I trust she will have valuable input, but in the last 24 years the University has changed significantly. So has the climate of higher education. Consider, how little computers were used 25 years ago. The sports landscape was different. We were just building a library. There was no south campus, and the townhouses were just being built. Germantown Hospital was a busy hospital, not part of campus. Tuitions, across the country, were more reasonably priced when compared to average household income. To be clear, I don't think the current committee is incapable of making a fine selection. I simply think a significant, and important, cross-section of our graduates' opinion have been overlooked, undervalued, or both.
