FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) – Three finalists have been named for the chancellor’s job at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Two of them are currently based at Kansas universities.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports the finalists for the top job at UA were announced Friday. They are: April Mason, provost and senior vice president at Kansas State University; Jeffrey S. Vitter, provost and executive vice chancellor at the University of Kansas; and Joseph E. Steinmetz, executive vice president and provost at Ohio State University.

UA System President Donald Bobbitt selected the finalists from seven candidates interviewed on September 25th in Dallas by a search committee. The finalists are seeking to replace G. David Gearhart, who stepped down at the end of July.

Each finalist will visit Fayetteville for two days of activities, including a public talk on the morning of the second day.
