Dear Campus Community,

In accordance with university policy, S16-8, Selection and Review of Administrators, a review committee will be appointed to solicit feedback from the campus community.

As such, I am seeking nominations to serve on this very important committee. The review committee shall be composed of faculty, staff, student, administrators or community representatives as outlined below. Please consider this opportunity or nominate a colleague to serve. Nominees must be available to serve on this committee through the Spring 2026 and Fall 2026 semesters.

Five faculty positions including two chairs
Nominees can be chairs, tenured, tenure track, or lecturer faculty. Five faculty, at least four of whom are tenured, and at least two who are chairs, will be elected by and from the college faculty. No more than two may be elected from any department.

One staff position
Staff can self-nominate or be nominated by others. A college-wide staff election will be conducted for the staff representative to serve on the committee.

Each department shall nominate one student from its majors. The provost shall appoint one student representative from among those nominated.

One dean position
The provost shall appoint one dean representative from outside the college.
