On Thursday, the university announced that it has narrowed its search to eight candidates.
According to reports, the contenders include Laurence Alexander, Major General Ron Clark, Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne and University of Louisiana System President Jim Henderson.
The eight semifinalists will be interviewed Monday and Tuesday, with the search committee expected to pick finalists on April 30.
