A search committee charged with finding a replacement for President Dan Mote has been formed and today its roster became public via a campus announcement. It’s an interesting list, notable as much for who is not on it as for who is. The committee includes no yes-men from the Provost’s inner circle, whether or not from the rarefied upper reaches of Main Admin, nor for that matter does it appear to have a strong engineering or science slant, that might on its face favor a Provost who has been working on his “President’s Package” since the first day of his present position. Could be interesting!
