Professor Clark said that some people are afraid to speak up. He stated that the Provost has avoided him, not returning calls or emails and not accepting any appointments with him that he would consider timely. Professor Fandozzi stated he thought Chair McBroom used his position to dismiss the situation and that was reprehensible. Senator Jenne said that there has been testimony and allegations as well as conflicting statements from the other side, and sees nothing that indicates Provost Muir is unfit for her job. It is the president s decision to keep her or not and we should get behind the university and our provost.
Freedom of speech comes with responsibility.
The meeting was adjourned.
