The finalists, two of them women, will visit the campus next week.
They are James Fries, president emeritus at College of Santa Fe, executive director of Grow Santa Fe Community College Foundation and former interim president at Highlands; Estela Lopez, vice chancellor at Connecticut State University in Hartford, Conn.; and Lois Muir, professor of psychology, former provost and vice president for academic affairs, University of Montana in Missoula, Mont.
A search committee chaired by Leveo Sanchez, president of the Highlands Foundation Board, began screening applicants in October.
Over the past few years, Muir has been a candidate or finalist for numerous academic posts around the country. In March, she was abruptly removed from her duties as UM provost.
That was after Muir told a newspaper that she and UM President George Dennison have "fundamental differences" about administration of the university.
