FOI #26-544 (08-24-26, 5:30 pm) - Subject - Inquiry Historical Presidential Search Records

Name - Zerin Dong

Affiliation - University of California, Merced

Dear Public Records Office,

My name is Zerin Dong, and I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of California, Merced, conducting academic research on university leadership and the historical evolution of research universities in the United States.

I am writing to inquire about records related to the following University of Connecticut presidential transitions:

- Albert N. Jorgensen (1935)
- Homer D. Babbidge (1962)
- Glenn W. Ferguson (1973)
- John A. DiBiaggio (1979)
- John T. Casteen III (1985)
- Harry J. Hartley (1990)
- Philip E. Austin (1996)
- Michael Hogan (2007)
- Susan Herbst (2011)
- Thomas C. Katsouleas (2019)
- Andrew Agwunobi (2022, interim)
- Radenka Maric (2022)

Specifically, I am interested in:

1. Whether any of these searches resulted in publicly releasable records naming more than one finalist or candidate under serious consideration.
2. If finalist names are available, whether biographical information is also available (each candidate's academic field, title and institution) — a shorter document such as a press release or Board of Trustees announcement would work just as well as a full CV if that's easier for your office to produce.

I'm happy to narrow this request by specific year if that would help your office respond efficiently, and I understand if some or all of this information is not available for the older searches. Please let me know if there are any costs associated with fulfilling this request before proceeding.

Thank you for your time and assistance! Please feel free to contact me at zdong12@ucmerced.edu with any questions.

Best regards,

Zerin
