The Corporation has already received unsolicited CVs, said Vice Chancellor Marie Langlois '64. The quality of the people is impressive and they come from institutions from which we compete for students and faculty. Lester Feder '01 said he was troubled by former President E. Gordon Gee's emphasis on sports and the graduate school, to the detriment of departments such as music, his concentration. But members of the Corporation said that the improvement of the graduate school was their priority. What helps one helps the other.
All faculty members teach undergraduates, which is different from many other universities.
S omeone asked whether there would be a restructuring of what had been Gee's priorities. But Corporation officers said those goals were in place before Gee's arrival and would remain. The strategic priorities - those cannot change. Other concerns raised include converting older buildings to become accessible by disabled people and contributing to public service. You need to have someone who thrives on that.
