 * The article says "withdrew" his candidacy" and the hook states "declined", might create a bit confusion! --Tito Dutta (contact) 15:39, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * We could do ALT1 "... that University of Idaho president Duane Nellis initially withdrew from consideration for his current position, and has been offered the presidency of Texas Tech University without applying?" but that's over 200 characters with formatting. Does formatting count? --BDD (talk) 18:30, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * That has 190+3 characters! Or we can keep it simple like ALT2 "... that Duane Nellis is an American educator currently serving as the 17th president of the University of Idaho? --Tito Dutta (contact) 21:40, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, that's accurate, but not very interesting... --BDD (talk) 21:49, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
