Dear Campus Community,

I am pleased to announce the members of the Provost Search Committee and the Institutional Planning Committee. Please know that the decisions were difficult ones due to the number of nominations and volunteers.

What will be most important to the search and the development of the institutional plan is the involvement of the entire campus community. We want the search and the creation of the plan to be open and interactive processes. The planning committee, for example, will make all documents available for input as they are developed. All drafts of the plan will be shared early with the campus for input. We will also meet with governance groups and focus groups throughout the planning process.

The Provost search committee will also seek input throughout the search. For example, Tom Tomlinson, who is chairing the committee, has asked that the campus community respond to him regarding the characteristics and qualifications for the Provost. Feel free to email him at TC-Tomlinson@wiu.edu by Thursday, October 10 so that he can share your suggestions with the full committee.

Please know that I appreciate all of the support I have received for both of these important matters. I look forward to working with the committees.

Sincerely,

Al Goldfarb
President
Western Illinois University


The first meeting of the Provost Search Committee will be from 8-9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 4 in the University Union Board Room.
