Committee mum on search for new UAB president | News

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC)- Late Tuesday afternoon the UAB presidential search committee met to update the public on their search for former UAB President Carol Garrison's replacement.

The Presidential Advisory Committee was tight-lipped Tuesday about the search and wouldn't comment on how many candidates they are looking at or who they were considering.

The 25-person committee says they have had a great response and for the time will focus on narrowing the pool to a list of candidates with the leadership qualities that will be the best match for UAB.

They have not announced a deadline for naming Garrison's replacement.
