The list of candidates for FSU's presidential search is now at 25 and includes applicants from Kent State and the University of North Carolina. The search technically remains open until the trustees pick a new president, but the search committee will meet from 2 to 4 p.m. tomorrow at the Alumni Center Ballroom to review all submitted applications and identify and decide which candidates merit on-campus interviews. The goal is to send recommended finalists to the trustees by the end of the day Friday

Here are the newest six candidates:

Eric Barron, Director, National Center for Atmospheric Research

David Persky, assistant to the President, St. Leo University

James Elsner, professor, Department of Geography, Florida State University
