BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A nominating committee has named three finalists for one spot on the North Dakota Board of Higher Education, including current board member Don Morton of Fargo.

The group also selected Thomas Atkinson, a Bismarck environmental engineer, and Wayne Trottier Jr., who works part-time as the school superintendent in Sawyer.

Morton, the board's vice chairman, is an executive with Microsoft Corp. He is seeking a second four-year term on the board.

Gov. Jack Dalrymple will decide on the appointment.

The higher education board oversees the North Dakota University System, which includes 11 public institutions.
