To the best of my knowledge, the university was required to conduct the search. IMO, if Tressel wanted Dr. Abraham to be the next provost, he could not very well ask him to apply for the position in order to avoid him not being recommended by the search committee. If Dr. Abraham neither made the final list nor bring recommended, if would be almost impossible for Tressel to point him.

If Dr. Abraham applied and was recommended, the Tressel would have to appoint him as Provost and not interim Provost. I do not know if the BOT would accept him as Provost or not. It is possible that BOT wanted him to be named interim Provost to see if he would perform up to their expectations before naming him permanent Provost.

If that is the case, Tressel was very smart (or might be the only way)  in his plan in order to name Dr. Abraham the interim Provost. I am not sure about the process. I believe, after a period of time, Tressel and the BOT could select him as the Provost.

Good move in Mr. Tressel's part. Unfortunately, for those people who served on the search committee might have felt otherwise.

I have no problem on how this played out. Do a search and maybe you find someone that is great. Seems to me that after YSU saw these four they realized that Abraham was better. Simple as that

It seems like the BOT does what the want how they want, they did a national search for president but ignored information provided to them about Dunn and got burned, they did a search for Provost and were trumped because they again did not pick the best pool of candidates. While I am probably the biggest skeptic of Tressel being president on this board I can’t help but to think that maybe the BOT is going to have some bumps in the road going further as Tressel imposes his will (in a good way) on the university and BOT.

I agree.   Tressel has the best provost we could hope for
