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

[Keith Dorwick]

That's the reason one motion goes to the system President, sending the
signal that we are willing to air dirty laundry. Also, I think then we get
media involved. We talk to the Chronicle and to Marsha Sills locally and we
make a stink.

But if we also send the motions directly to the search committee, then the
President will now we are unhappy and this might get ugly.

And it is tenured folks who have to the public face of this.
