UMass Boston chancellor to stay put? 

In this Sunday Boston Globe's Campus Insider column, an item on the UMass Boston chancellor:

Is the leader of the University of Massachusetts at Boston getting restless? Chancellor Jo Ann Gora, who lost a high-profile bid last year to build $200 million dorms on the commuter campus, was recently in the running for the presidency of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore. She was a finalist for the job but pulled out of the contest Monday, said a spokesman for UMass-Boston, after she talked to search leaders and decided the position "was not a good fit." On Wednesday, the Lewis & Clark search committee said it would recommend another finalist, Thomas Hochstettler, for the presidency. Gora has led UMass-Boston for 2 1/2 years, and her candidacy at Lewis & Clark coincided with her first performance review as chancellor -- a review some insiders predict will not be rosy.
I received the news too late to put something into the online edition, but there'll be something relatively extensive in this week's deadwood, on support for her on campus and the review.
