 Subject: MASSMAIL - Faculty Noms. for Presidential Search Committee

To:	All Urbana-Champaign Faculty
From:	Kim Graber, Chair, Senate Committee on Committees
Date:	October 6, 2009
Re: 	Faculty Nominations for Search Committee To Assist in the 
Selection of a President

As you know, the Board of Trustees has accepted the resignation of 
President B. Joseph White and selected a firm to head the search for a new 
permanent President. The search committee will consist of three members of 
the Board of Trustees, eight faculty (likely three from UIUC and UIC and 
two from UIS), three students (one from each campus), one member of the 
civil service staff, one member of the academic professional staff, one 
administrative officer of the University, one representative from the 
Alumni Association, and one representative of the University of Illinois 
Foundation. The Senates of each campus have been asked to nominate twice 
the number of faculty members to be selected and University Senates 
Conference has been asked to draw from these slates in order to recommend 
those who will serve. 

Because the search process has already begun, the Trustees have asked that 
the search committee be constituted as soon as possible. Therefore, the 
Committee on Committees of the UIUC Academic Senate is requesting nominees 
for individuals to serve on this committee. 

Please submit names of nominees by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 9 and 
secure confirmation of your nominee's willingness to serve before 
forwarding your nomination.  Nominees who are placed on the final slate 
will be asked to provide a brief biographical statement including faculty 
appointment information (rank and unit affiliation), years of service, 
previous appointments, campus/University service, and previous search 
committee experience.

We encourage nominees from the varied disciplines and who represent the 
diversity on campus. The Committee on Committees will present a slate of 
candidates to the Senate for final selection. An online Senate election 
for these positions will be conducted between October 14 and 16. The final 
campus slate will then be forwarded to the University Senates Conference. 

Please forward your nominations to:

Professor Kim Graber
Chair, Senate Committee on Committees
c/o Senate Office
228 English Building, MC-461
