BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The pool of candidates for the new Southern University Law Center Chancellor has been cut to four.

The Advocate (http://bit.ly/1Qh5D4l ) reports the finalists, announced Wednesday, include three administrators who currently work for the Law Center and an appellate court judge who has ties to the school.

The four finalists are: John Michael Guidry, a state appellate court judge; John K. Pierre, who is currently serving as interim chancellor of the Law Center; Russell Jones, vice chancellor for academic affairs; and Roederick White Sr., vice chancellor for student affairs.

The Board of Supervisors is expected to conduct interviews of the finalists and select the new chancellor at the March 18 meeting.

Former chancellor Freddie Pitcher Jr. stepped down from the post last June.
