兰德里谈两校校长遴选：初选不干预 终选或发表意见
路易斯安那州州长杰夫·兰德里近日在接受USA Today Network采访时表示，他不会干预路易斯安那理工大学新任校长遴选的初选过程，对南方大学系统新任校长的遴选此前也未干预，但不排除在最终决定阶段发表意见。兰德里说：“我不想强塞任何人选，我想听取利益相关方的意见。”他还表示，如收到几个候选人名单，“我可能会有意见”。
兰德里10月12日在拉斯顿期间，就理工大校长职位与北路易斯安那州议员专门沟通，他说已请该代表团“找到最适合这份工作的人”。现任校长吉姆·亨德森宣布将于2026年底退休，申请截止日期为11月6日。州公立学校总监凯德·布鲁姆利被广泛认为是热门人选之一。
报道指出，兰德里近年通过一项新法律扩大了州长对州高等教育委员会的控制权——州长不仅可任命董事会成员，还可挑选各委员会主席。今年，他还曾参与路易斯安那州立大学聘请主教练及免去体育总监的事务。
Landry Weighs In on Louisiana Tech and Southern President Searches
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry said in an interview with the USA Today Network that he will not intervene in the initial search process for a new Louisiana Tech University president, and did not do so for the new Southern University System president, but he could weigh in on a final decision. 'I don't want to force feed any person. I want to hear from the stakeholders,' Landry said, adding, 'If they bring me a couple of names, I might have an opinion.'
Landry said he spoke with northern Louisiana legislators about the Tech job while in Ruston on October 12, telling the delegation 'to find the best person to handle the job.' Louisiana Tech is seeking a new leader after President Jim Henderson announced his retirement effective at the end of 2026, citing health concerns; applications for the job close November 6. State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley is widely speculated to be among the top candidates.
The Shreveport Times reported that Landry has elevated the governor's power over Louisiana's higher education boards through a recent law allowing him not only to appoint board members but also to select board chairs, and that he was active this year in LSU's football coaching hire and the firing of its previous athletic director.
