UNCW Chancellor A Finalist To Head SUNY Buffalo State

Update: Chancellor Miller is one of three finalists -- down from six -- for the position of President of Youngstown State University, university officials announced Monday afternoon. Details here.

University of North Carolina Wilmington chancellor Gary Miller is a finalist for not one, but two top positions in higher education.

Miller and his wife, Georgia, will be on campus Tuesday for a series of interviews at SUNY Buffalo State in New York, according to the school’s website. Miller will meet with various campus constituencies, including support staff, faculty members and students.

Recent reports also named Miller as one of six candidates for the presidency of Youngstown State University in Ohio.

Miller is the second of five finalists to visit the Buffalo State’s campus, the website stated. The first, Susan D. Phillips, provost and vice president for academic affairs at the University at Albany, had her in-person interview April 21.

Names of the three other finalists will be released to the campus community one business day before their scheduled interview date, college spokesman Jerod Dahlgren said in an email.

Buffalo State’s previous president, Aaron M. Podolefsky, stepped down in July because of a battle with cancer and died shortly afterward, according to a report in The Buffalo News.

Podolefsky’s annual salary was $225,000, Dahlgren said. Miller’s current salary as of fall 2013 is $280,500.

Howard Cohen has been serving as interim president at Buffalo State but is not a candidate for the permanent job, according to a report in Buffalo Business First.

Howard Zemsky, who is heading up the Buffalo State presidential search effort, was quoted in the Buffalo Business First report as saying he hopes the search committee’s recommendations can be acted upon by the SUNY board of trustees at its June meeting.

In the fall semester of 2013, Buffalo State had an enrollment of 9,338 undergraduate and 1,327 graduate students, according to the college website. Its five schools together offer 169 undergraduate programs and 65 graduate programs.
