 Subject: MASSMAIL - Provost Search

After consultation with the Council of Deans, the Board of Trustees, 
President Joe White and Interim President Designate Stanley Ikenberry, I 
have decided to suspend the search for a Provost as we deal with the 
issues before us.

Bob Easter has agreed to extend his term as Interim Provost, and he will 
continue to provide leadership and guidance regarding the significant 
budgetary challenges we and the state of Illinois are encountering.

I want to thank the Council of Deans for their continued, active 
involvement in campus leadership and their wise counsel concerning the 
Provost search and other important matters. I also want to express my 
appreciation to committee chair Dean Bruce Smith and the members of our 
Provost search committee who have helped lay the foundation for a search 
to proceed in the future.

Sincerely,

Richard Herman
Chancellor
