A press release given by Tennessee State University listed Auburn's own Ainsley Carry as a finalist for the position of University president.
Carry is currently Auburn's Vice President for Student Affairs. He was chosen by TSU out of 86 candidates and is now one of the four finalists in line for the position.
The other finalists include Glenda Glover of Jackson State University, Bennie Harris from Lipscomb University and Candace Campbell Jackson from the University of Akron.
Sometime between Monday, Oct. 29 and Thursday, Nov. 1, each finalist will visit TSU for an evening to meet with the community in a series of campus forums.
The search committee in charge of choosing the president will attend these forums and gather feedback, and a candidate will be recommended to the Tennessee Board of Regents in the following weeks.
