* Contrary to expectations, Baylor University regents emerged from their September 9 meeting without a new president for the 160-year-old Baptist school, and interim president Bill Underwood announced he had removed his name as a candidate for the president's position. "I had never wanted to be the long-term president of Baylor University.

It's not a position I ever coveted," Underwood told reporters. He also said that since he had fired three high-level administrators, including provost David Lyle Jeffrey, on June 1, his first day on the job, he was a divisive candidate. Underwood had succeeded embattled president Robert Sloan, who stepped down early this year.
