The attorney for the LSU Board of Supervisors has released the names of three candidates the board considered during its 2012 search for a president that culminated with the hiring of F. King Alexander in March 2013.
The candidates were: Malcolm Portera, then-chancellor of the University of Alabama System, who has since retired; Richard Loftin, who at that time was president of Texas A&M University and has since become chancellor of the University of Missouri; and Steven Ballard, chancellor of East Carolina University.
