UK might find out Tuesday afternoon whether or not it will need to find a new provost.

Iowa State University is expected to evaluate its two presidential finalists Monday, which include UK Provost Kumble Subbaswamy, according to The Associated Press.

The Iowa Board of Regents will interview Subbaswamy and the other candidate, Steven Leath, vice president for research and sponsored programs at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

The Board is expected to announce its selection Tuesday afternoon.

UK Spokesman Jay Blanton said the university hasn’t decided what it will do if Subbaswamy is chosen, “because we aren’t at that juncture.”

Iowa State spokesman John McCarroll told the Kernel Sept. 19 that the search committee began its search for a new president in June, after current president Gregory Geoffroy announced in March he would retire by July 2012.

Subbaswamy visited Iowa State University’s campus last Wednesday through Friday to meet with different university groups, according to an Iowa State news release.
