[VPAAEtal] Provost Search Advisory Committee Update

[Academic Affairs]

Dear Faculty and Professional Staff:

 

The Provost Search Advisory Committee is pleased to report that a rich
group of 50 applicants were received by the search firm as of the
closing date for applications.

 

The committee met the afternoon of the 20th of January to review all
applications and classify them into categories of "deserving further
interest" or "no further information is desired".  This process resulted
in a group of 18 applications that the committee will contact references
furnished by the applicants.  After all references are contacted by
committee members, the committee will reconvene to further reduce the
number of candidates to from six to eight applicants.  These applicants
will be invited for off-campus face-to-face interviews.  A group of
approximately three applicants will be forwarded to President Jones for
permission to invite for on-campus interviews.

 

By mid-April we should be close to knowing the name of our new Provost
and Vice-President for Academic Affairs.  Please be mindful of the oath
of secrecy that the committee took in preparation for this search.  In
order to obtain a group of serious quality candidates that are happy in
their present job, it is necessary to retain confidentiality of
applications.  When we invite applicants for on-campus interviews, they
will be public and available for all interested parties to participate.

 

I will try to keep you informed as we progress in the search.

 

Dave
