Oregon Attorney General John Kroger has been selected as the next president of Reed College, a prestigious, private liberal arts college in Southeast Portland.

Kroger will take command of the 1,400-student college in July, replacing Colin Diver, who has led Reed for the last decade.

A committee of about 80 faculty, staff, students and board members has searched for nearly a year to find a new president. The committee also interviewed dozens of Kroger's professional colleagues. When they got down to the last seven or eight finalists, said spokesman Kevin Myers, Kroger was the obvious choice.

It appears Kroger will be stepping down as attorney general before his term ends in January. He announced in October that he was not seeking a second term because of a "significant but not life threatening medical condition."
