This is not a request for nominations of Swanlund Chair candidates, since the next chairs are to be reserved for the Humanities. This committee will select a number of candidates, get into a discussion of this selection with the EC, and finally present a ranked list. No visits to the campus are planned as part of the process. The EC and the Chair will then be responsible for the final choices, phone interviews and appointments. Please send me your nominations to this committee.
Faculty members are welcome to nominate themselves.
