The final three are Richard Guthrie, retired associate dean of the College of Agriculture, animal science professor Russ Muntifering, and Joseph Touchton, head of the agronomy and soils department.

It should be pointed out that this new dean will not be a permanent appointment, but a long-term fill-in to replace Dean Michael Weiss, who has been on administrative leave since March.

More background is available at theplainsman.com here and here, and at the Auburn Review.

The candidate selected to fill the position will not be eligible to permanently fill the position.
