Subject:  Call for Nominations for At-Large Faculty for the Provost and VPAA Search Committee

On March 31, 2008, President Leland sent email to the Faculty Alert list describing both a proposed timeline
and a proposed composition for the search committee for the Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs
position. She requested feedback from faculty on each of these matters.

The Search Committee for the Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs will include two faculty members
elected at large by faculty, and the Executive Committee of the University Senate has been asked to implement
this election. The election process is a call for nominations followed by an election by secret ballot implemented
by an electronic ballot just as was done for the recent at-large election for the University Senate.

To begin this process, nominations (including self nominations) should be sent electronically to Craig Turner,
(craig.turner@gcsu.edu) no later than 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8, 2008.  

Each nominee will be contacted and included on a ballot should (s)he accept the nomination. Each member of the Corps
of Instruction will have the opportunity to vote by secret ballot for two candidates and that vote will occur Thursday, April 10
and Friday, April 11, 2008. The two individuals who receive the most votes will be placed on the search committee and their
names will be announced via email no later than 5:00 p.m. on Monday April 14, 2008.
