The Master Plan of Lets Talk and Wick250 is accomplished!
Wick250:
IAA Fan, this is technically not sports, but it is vital to the university. Please keep it here until at least Lets Talk gets a chance to read it. :)
Last spring, Lets Talk and I proposed this master plan: Tressel as president with Martin Abraham from the STEM College as provost. Today, it just happened. Tressel named Abraham the provost, bypassing the four candidates who visited campus last week. This is the dream partnership that can move us forward.

The announcement actually indicated that Dr. Abraham was named "interim Provost" (not "Provost") pending on approval by BOT.

The appointment comes after a national search for a new provost resulted in campus visits earlier this month by four finalists. Tressel said while each of the finalists were strong candidates for the position, he feels at this time that Abraham is the right person with the right experiences for these challenging times.

Sounds like it could become permanent one day.
Wick250:
I'm figuring that the interim label is just a technicality. You don't spend to bring four candidates to campus, reject them all, and then start the process again. Unless Abraham does not want the job on a permanent basis.

I think they still have to perform another provost search if a permanent provost is to be named. I do not believe YSU can name Dr. Abraham as provost without initiate another search.
That was the scenario for our last provost, Dr. Khawaja. He was initially named interim provost (coming out of his retirement). A national search for provost was later initiated. At the end, YSU named Dr. Khawaja as the provost over all the finalists stating that he was just as, if not more qualified, than all the finalist.
History could be repeating itself here (except for Khawaja later became interim President until JT was selected as President).
