David Hahn, a mechanical engineering PhD and former dean, officially took the helm July 1. While the law streamlined the process and gave the State Board of Education just ten days to decide, critics say it buried feedback under secrecy, rushed student engagement into summer, and excluded students from the main search committee. Yet, some, including a former student leader, praised the outcome for prioritizing student-focused leadership. The experiment’s success—or failure—could reshape how Idaho’s universities select their next presidents. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
