Ex-general to command anti-terror institute

[NVMojo]

September 26, 2006

In a move seen as bringing more accountability to the secretive Institute for Security Studies, UNLV President David Ashley has hired a new executive director from outside Nevada to run the troubled anti-terrorism organization.

Scott B. Smith, a retired Army major general with extensive experience in engineering and security-related matters, next Monday takes the reins of the institute, which has come under fire for failing to make good on a promise to turn UNLV into a leading academic authority on homeland security.

At the same time, Interim Executive Director Tom Williams, who has been faulted for allowing the federally funded institute to stray from its academic mission, has been given new duties unrelated to overseeing the institute.

Ashley was unavailable for comment Monday. And Mark Rudin, the interim vice president for Research and Graduate College dean, refused to be interviewed by the Sun on the personnel changes.
