Greetings, Thank you all for responding so quickly concerning the additional meeting of the Governance Council. Provost Susan Herbst and Wayne Locust can meet with us at 3 pm on Friday, 12/2/05 to discuss the retention committee’s composition and charge. This time can also accommodate most people on the Council. For those of you with conflicts at 3:00, please feel free to join us later in the meeting. Please mark your calendars for the next meeting to be: Friday, 12/2/05 3:00-4:30 pm Room CC 375. Also, please review the information forwarded earlier from Sheila Mahan so that we can have a productive discussion. Susan is very keen on discussing the issues, since retention is such a high priority for the University. Best, Diane Diane M.
