The WKU Heraldreports that WKU Provost Gordon Emslie is a candidate for the same position at the University of Alabama.
Emslie previously worked at the University of Alabama-Hunstville. Emslie took the WKU Provost position July 1, 2010.
The Herald report says Emslie refused to comment about his candidacy, but WKU President Gary Ransdell told the paper Emslie informed him of his interest in the Alabama job last week.
