And from yesterday's paper:
State Rep. Harry Moberly, D-Richmond, said he will consider applying for the position once the search for a permanent replacement for Joanne Glasser is under way. Moberly, who works at the university as director of student judicial affairs and services for individuals with disabilities at the university, said he would not be interested in becoming the interim president.
Moberly said he wants to get through the upcoming budget session of the General Assembly before making any commitments about pursuing the president's position.
"I haven't had anytime to think about it since this has all happened so quickly. I didn't have any notice that the president was going to resign this week," Moberly said.
