Bona fide Info

Here is one piece of bona fide information we found out at the Special Faculty Senate Meeting: The Faculty Senate Executive Committee did something very, I can't remember Gary Miller's word, but I think it was "professional," but the way he said it had a tinge of an association with courageous--professional as in stepped up to the plate, showed moxie, etc. Here's what they did:

They "approved" The Process. Miller did not reveal, when this approval took place. I suspect it was before his recommendation of Discontinuance for Physics and Gerontology were made public, since according to Debby Soles, the University Program Review Committee did not recommend Physics be discontinued.

Miller invoked the Executive Committee (or should I call them Executors as in executing a will, which usually accompanies death) in the "see, your own rubber stamped what I did." Now Inquiring Minds want to know--how precisely did this "approval" happen. Did the Provost ask for it, and if so, did no one among the executors think that this might not be such a good idea? Or were they too afraid to resist? And if so, maybe we need to form another mafia family that can compete with the Corleones who keep making faculty offers that they cannot refuse.

Inquiring Minds want to know about this little process that occured inside The Process.
