The Barack Obama Foundation (BOF) announced on September 15 that four academic institutions have qualified as potential sites for the Barack Obama Presidential Library (OPL). Columbia University, the University of Hawaii (UH), the University of Chicago (UChicago), and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) were selected from 13 applicants that responded to the BOF's Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued March 2014. The four will now respond to a Request for Proposals by December 11. The foundation will evaluate them, with the president and first lady making the final decision. The facility's campus will house the OPL, plus the Barack Obama Presidential Museum, foundation offices, and an academic institute.
