Statement from Morris W. Offit
Chair, Board of Trustees
Chair, Presidential Search Committee
The Johns Hopkins University
Note: This statement was released in response to the
announcement on Dec. 4, 1995, that John Lombardi, president of
the University of Florida, had asked that his name be withdrawn
from consideration in the search for a new president of The Johns
Hopkins University.
"We were delighted when John Lombardi contacted us to inform
us that he would be willing to be considered as a candidate for
the presidency of Johns Hopkins University. We welcomed the
opportunities we had in recent weeks to talk with him about Johns
Hopkins. Clearly, for the time being, he believes it is important
for him to continue serving the University of Florida as its
president. We understand his decision. We respect it and we wish
him much success in the months ahead.
"We will be moving ahead promptly to have conversations with
other highly qualified individuals whom we have identified."
