Drieth looking. SIU down and looking for yet another interim chancellor

Well, we've been in hibernation.  Readers, here, apparently have not.  We see comments, on old posts, over the last several months.  Well, here is some fresh news to chew on: 

Southern Illinoisan: JALC president is a finalist for job in Kansas  The subtitle was, "Report:  Dreith called decision to take JALC post 'worst mistake'

And, over in Jackson County, Southern Illinoisan: SIU Enrollment drop leads to $5.3M loss

In other news: Daily Egyptian: Dunn could be done with double duty soon  What the article doesn't point out is that Koropchak was also a vice chancellor and dean of the Graduate School.  ...They also skipped a bit of the search history.  The BOT reinterviewed TWO of the Chancellor candidates, not just the "preferred" one.  That left current interim provost Susan Ford (Koropchak's interim successor at the Graduate School) apparently still holding the fort.
