CC.04.13 Nominees for Membership on the Search Committee to Advise the President on the Selection of a Chancellor

After Chancellor Nancy Cantor announced her departure from this campus and University, effective in July 2004, the Committee on Committees scheduled a series of meetings to develop a slate of nominees. In an effort to reach as many faculty as quickly as possible, the Committee sent an e-mail soliciting faculty nominations to all senators, to all faculty, and to deans, directors, and department heads. As a result the Committee received and evaluated over 80 faculty nominations and a small number of undergraduate and graduate student nominations.

According to Article V, Section 11, of the Senate Constitution, faculty senators nominate and elect faculty members of search committees, and student senators nominate and elect student members of search committees in separate votes. Therefore, any nominations made from the floor will be subject to those restrictions. In addition, any nomination from the floor must be supported by the proposed nominee's signed and dated statement of willingness to serve on the search committee. If the nominee is present at the Senate meeting, an oral statement to that effect will suffice.

The Senate will elect five faculty members for the Committee; the Senate Executive Committee will elect an additional two from the slate below. Bios for all candidates may be found here.
