Neil D. Theobald, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Indiana University, will likely become the 10th president of Temple University. "After reviewing . . . submissions and interviewing dozens of candidates, we came to the unanimous decision that Neil Theobald has the experience, vision, and proven track record to lead this great university," said Patrick J. O'Connor, president of the board of trustees. "He understands firsthand the importance of accessibility and affordable education, which is Temple's mission. He understands we need to improve philanthropy and get more scholarship aid to our kids.” If selected, Theobald said, "My immediate goal will be to understand what the trustees, faculty, students, staff and community leaders see as Temple's most pressing issues and what they believe the highest priorities should be for early presidential attention."
