 Subject: MASSMAIL - Faculty Suggestions for Provost Search Committee

To: UIUC Faculty
From: Kim Graber, Chair, Senate Committee on Committees
Date: May 4, 2009
Re: Faculty Suggestions for Provost Search Committee

As you know, Chancellor Richard Herman has announced that Provost Linda
Katehi has accepted a position as Chancellor of the University of
California at Davis.  As a result, the Senate Committee on Committees
has been asked to develop a slate of nominees for the selection of a new
provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs.

According to procedures approved by the Senate, a Provost Search
Committee will consist of about 11 members: eight faculty (five elected by 
the Senate; three appointed by the Chancellor), two students (one elected 
by the student senators; one appointed by the Chancellor), and one academic
professional appointed by the Chancellor. One or more of the faculty
appointees may have administrative appointments. The Chancellor will
appoint a chair from among the eight faculty members. The composition of
the Search Committee is identical to recent provost searches.

The Committee on Committees will present to the Senate 10 to 12 names
for the five faculty positions.  We will be holding an online election
before the end of May.  In lieu of floor nominations, therefore, we ask
that faculty suggest names to the Committee on Committees for membership
on the Search Committee.  Suggestions that represent the diverse
perspectives of the University are welcome.

Please check your email regularly for notice of the URL and time
parameters for this election; you will need your net I.D. (i.e., the
portion of your email address that precedes @illinois.edu) and your
password to login and participate in this election.

Please send names via campus mail, email, or hand-delivery, by 5:00pm on
Monday, May 11, 2009 to:

Professor Kim Graber
