By Kyeland Jackson —

Professor Susan Jarosi asked for open discussion on the presidential search Monday and the U of L Board of Trustees answered with silence. After a pause, board Chair David Grissom asked if there would be further discussion and prepared to move to the next issue. But faculty trustee Enid Trucios-Haynes pressed for conversation on the search, opening a tense debate on how the university would find its next president.

Jarosi, also president for U of L’s American Association of University Professors, said the board’s made missteps and delays in the search.
