Weisenstein will chair athletic director search committee Vice President for General Administration Phil Harmeson has named 17 members to the UND Athletic Director Search Committee. Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Greg Weisenstein with chair the committee. Harmeson said the representatives were chosen to connect with various stakeholder groups during the search. He said the process is to have the representatives act as a liaison with the constituencies they represent. He said a common review mechanism will be implemented within a defined process in conjunction with the director of human resources. The charge to the search committee is to recommend no fewer than three and no more than five unranked candidates to be invited to Grand Forks for campus and community interviews.
