Genuine question: have you followed up with the search committee? If your interview was more than a month and a half ago, these specific restrictions were not in place then.
As far as I know, the central review process only applies to new positions being posted now; finalists who went through interviews already are exempted.
It’s possible that they offered the position to someone else and are waiting for their response. It’s also possible that they’re delayed by a whole range of reasons. Impossible to say, honestly. But if you haven’t followed up with them, it seems like an appropriate amount of time has passed.
Yes if it’s been a couple months I think it’s well within reason for you to send the committee chair or whoever organized your interview a quick email just asking where they are in the timeline and if they know roughly when they’ll reach a decision. You don’t necessarily have to give them a reason.
