Martin finalist for post in Colorado

LSU Chancellor Michael Martin has been named the finalist for the same position at Colorado State University by the System’s Board of Governors.

In a phone interview shortly after the announcement Thursday morning, Martin said he has not yet decided whether to leave Baton Rouge nor has CSU extended a formal offer for him to lead their three-campus system. If he did leave, Martin said, he would not go until mid-August, far enough into the next fiscal year to help with the budget.

The CSU board is mandated by state law to wait two week before extending an offer, Martin said.
