The Chair of the DFA, Ian Kennedy, and Board member Lyn Lofland, met with the Chancellor – at his request – to discuss shared governance and the Provost search in particular. We offered our opinion of the recent Provost search and advised the Chancellor that we were very disturbed by a process that did not permit any faculty input to the final decision. We advised him that there was a concern on the part of many faculty members that shared governance was not working well in other areas of the University.
