The president of Minnesota State University, Mankato is among the finalists for the president's job at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. Richard Davenport has been the MSU president since 2002.
In a statement issued Friday he said he was heavily pursued by a search firm, which resulted in his selection as a finalist. He says he has made no commitment to the Old Dominion hiring board.
Davenport also says he is happy where he is and is proud of his school's many achievements.
The outgoing Old Dominion president is Roseann O'Reilly Runte, who took the same position at Carleton University in Ontario, Canada.
Davenport's status as a finalist was first reported by The Virginian-Pilot, an Old Dominion campus newspaper.
