January 23, 2013 — Dave Bostrom, president of the University of Wyoming Board of Trustees, has issued the following statement in response to today's Albany County District Court ruling on the UW presidential search process:
“We’re disappointed with the District Court ruling that the university must release records identifying the finalists for the job of University of Wyoming president. We believe the university presented a compelling case that identifying finalists would cause substantial injury to the public interest by significantly reducing the pool of candidates. For that reason, and because of the ruling’s broad implications, the university will consider an appeal to the Wyoming Supreme Court. In the meantime, we’re assessing the impact of the ruling on the current presidential search.”
