I stay in touch with many academic centers and shall be glad to bring up to your attention other potential candidates. I often hear about academics who contemplate moving to this part of the country.

He appears to be a very good person but we are attempting to find someone who is already or has the potential to be a major star to fill the Enron Chair. McMinn is not at that level in our judgment even though I am sure that he would be a good person to have on a faculty. At our stage of growth and development, we need to fill tenured positions with extreme care and with individuals who are or have star potential. Thanks for bringing him to our attention. gil We have set our sights very high and don't want to compromise.
