[AAUP-ULL-List] Motion again the process naming a last minute provost

[Keith Dorwick]

I think several members of the search committee were there at the meeting
Wed. Yes, in checking the list I think I saw the chair there (Dianne
Olivier) and Bob Slater certainly was.

So the Search Committee is in on the loop on this. If everyone wishes, I
would be glad to send the motions (there's a similar motion in front of the
AAUP chapter, but addressed to the System President) to Dianne for
distribution to the Committee.
