Garrison among WVU presidency finalists

The committee searching for West Virginia University's next president has narrowed the field to three candidates, as The Associated Press reports.

The short list includes Mike Garrison, the former Wise administration official who just resigned as chairman of the Higher Education Policy Commission.

M. Duane Nellis is provost of Kansas State University, but was a dean at WVU until 2004.

Portland State University President Daniel Bernstine rounds out the field. With a resume that includes several prior postings at historic Howard University, he would be WVU's first black president if selected.

Only one candidate with more than a master's degree? All I see that the other two have is a law degree, which is basically a master's degree.
