MOSCOW — Thomas O. Bell, acting academic vice president at the University of Idaho, was named to that post on a permanent basis Friday morning by UI President Richard D. Gibb.
“Dr. Bell is bright, honest and knows the state,” Gibb said in announcing his decision. “Our new vice president is very creative. While he has a gentle administrative touch, he can be firm when necessary.
“We want someone who brings fresh ideas from some other state, but we also want that person to have always lived within the state,” the president said.
