ATHENS - Karen Holbrook, University of Georgia provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, is one of two finalists for president of Arizona State University.
Holbrook and Michael M. Crow, executive vice provost of Columbia University in New York, were chosen from a list of 75 candidates, according to Norma Salas, a spokeswoman for the Arizona Board of Regents.
They were being interviewed Thursday in Phoenix by a search committee selecting a replacement for current ASU president Lattie Coor, who will retire June 30.
Georgia president Michael Adams named Holbrook as provost in June 1998, making her the highest-ranking woman on campus, with a starting salary of $210,000, a car allowance and half a membership in the Athens Country Club.
