DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) — The state Board of Higher Education is deciding whether to approve Thomas Mitzel as the next president at Dickinson State University.

Mitzel is an Aberdeen, South Dakota, native who is the vice president and faculty dean at Trinity College in Connecticut. He became the lone finalist for the DSU position after Peru State College President Daniel Hanson withdrew from consideration earlier this month.

The board plans a formal interview with Mitzel Wednesday morning before offering him the job. His contract would be negotiated by North Dakota University System Chancellor Mark Hagerott.

Former DSU President D.C. Coston stepped down in August due to health concerns.
