Shaw University considering Campbell as president

By
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA - Former Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell is on the list of candidates to be the next president of Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina. <br> <br> The chairman of the university&#39;s board of trustee -- Willie Gary -- released the names of ten people Tuesday. <br> <br> The candidates include Campbell, who grew up in Raleigh, as well as two seminary deans, two professors, two administrators at other universities and two Shaw vice presidents. <br> <br> The school received 33 applications for the post of outgoing Shaw President Talbert Shaw, who plans to leave December 31. <br> <br> Gary said he hopes the search committee&#39;s choice can be named by the end of the year. He says the school wants a president who can quadruple the university&#39;s enrollment to ten-thousand, add classrooms and buildings, and boost the endowment from $15 million to $50 million.
