Dear Colleagues,
The Head Search Committee has received one application for Head of the Department of Mathematics. We recommend approval of the following list of finalists:
*Chris Francisco
The application and vita submitted by Chris are attached to this email.
The College's policy document for the Head search requires that a majority of the tenured and tenure-track faculty approve the list of finalists. We will conduct the vote at a meeting of the faculty scheduled for:
Thursday, February 22, at 3:30 p.m. in MSCS 514
If you wish to turn in a proxy vote beforehand, use the paper ballot that will be placed in your mailbox. Please turn the ballot in to Mary Johnston (or Angie, if Mary is not here) so she can check off your name as having voted. (Don't just drop your ballot in the box.) Your ballot should be turned in by 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 22.
At the meeting we will conduct the actual vote, or we will report the results if enough ballots are obtained beforehand. Then the Head Search Committee will answer questions about the search.
Please note that this vote is concerned with approval of the list of finalists. If that list is approved, then we will schedule an interview for our single finalist, Chris Francisco. The vote on his candidacy will take place after his official interview and presentation to the faculty.
--Alan Noell, for the Head Search Committee
