Senate to meet Feb 11: Budget, Pres search, Policy on policies

02/10/2015

Regarding the search, two of the Parker principals, Laurie C. Wilder, President, and Porsha L. Williams, Vice President, will be on campus Wednesday to answer questions about the Presidential Search. At the Senate, and also Wed, 9-10 in the Law School’s 4th floor Lewis Lounge room. This Diane Dietz story from last September does a good job describing the machinations by Chuck Lillis and Angela Wilhelms that led to Lillis getting sole authority to pick a single finalist for the job.

Regarding the budget, presumably there will be a report from the Senate Budget Committee on what they have been able to learn about the consequences of Brad Shelton’s decision to centralize funding decisions, and the recent cut in graduate student funding.
