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

Fri Apr 20 13:00:21 CDT 2018

I might send to President but cc Dianne.

We should also be thinking of some well put questions for this candidate. I
am considering:
-- discuss the merger/downsizing he just helped finish
-- what does he understand the Humanities to be and what is his vision for
them here?
