John Holzman is transparently lying through his teeth, particularly near the end. Congratulations to Francis Wiercinski, the next in a line of pre-determined presidents of the University of Hawaii! We might as well set up the betting pool now: how long until the next scandal?? I give it months.

Although I am personally glad that David Lassner is a finalist, I was under the impression that the person who was selected as the Interim President would not be a candidate for the permanent position. At the time when several names were mentioned for the interim position, perhaps some of them declined then in hopes of applying for the permanent position. To make a semantic distinction between David Lassner being “nominated” but not “applying” for the permanent position may satisfy the letter, but perhaps not the intent of the selection process as originally explained to the public.
