Indiana University will bring candidates for the new Bloomington chancellor to campus next month.  

The search committee will recommend “a small number of final candidates” to IU President Pamela Whitten, according to a message from search committee co-chairs David Daleke and Danielle DeSawal. The candidates will go through on-campus interviews, scheduled for February.

Whitten and the Board of Trustees announced in June that the university will create a new role of a Bloomington campus chancellor. The chancellor will serve in the president’s cabinet, oversee the Provost’s Office and lead all Bloomington campus functions.  

Provost Rahul Shrivastav currently leads the Bloomington campus. After the chancellor takes office, Shrivastav will focus on academic affairs. 

IU is collaborating with the search firm Isaacson, Miller.
