I think going interim route with this kind of position is not a very smart move.

Had Hartzell announced his resignation effective May 31, 2025, to retire or take up an entirely different sort of job, then I would agree with you, but Hartzell announced he is leaving to take the same job at another university.  Have to worry about divided loyalties and all that.  Need someone to perform in the office while the candidate search/vetting process continues for the long-term replacement.
