UPDATE 5:37 p.m.: Presidential Search Committee passes candidate recommendations to trustees

IU moved one step closer to selecting the University's next president when the Presidential Search Committee ceased operations and passed their candidate recommendations onto the board of trustees.\nThe move marks one of the final steps in the process that began last year to select IU President Adam Herbert's replacement. \nThe move was made public Tuesday afternoon at the Bloomington Faculty Council meeting when Ted Miller, chairman of the BFC and a member of the Presidential Search Committee, told the council.\n"The trustees at their meeting last week discussed the candidates," Miller said. He also said Sue Talbot, an IU trustee and chair of the Presidential Search Committee, was currently contacting different members of the committee "about the conclusions the trustees have come to."\nStill, no names of candidates have been made public, and did Miller say how many people the trustees were considering for the position. \nHe gave no timeline for when he thought the search would be completed -- something Talbot has said previously would finish during the summer -- but said the search was proceeding "quite rapidly"
