System comment: Richard Pattenaude, System Chancellor, said, “We felt very lucky to attract people with this much experience.”

Background: There were three separate ratings done for applications for this position. Clark was rated 3rd-best candidate in two of them, and 5th-best candidate in the third. Tracy Bigney, chief human resources officer for the System, said, “The specific number in a ranking is not important. In end, we look at the strengths and weaknesses and the overall picture of the candidate.”

Clark left the System this year for a similar position in the Connecticut university system, under former University of Maine President Robert Kennedy.
