Yeah, I'll give you that. Where are the brains of this operation, anyway?sealhall74 wrote: Thu Nov 02, 2023 4:16 pmNot as idiotiic as keeping fired President Jack Thomas on board to teach a class or two. Not sure he ever fulfilled that role though.rocki wrote: Thu Nov 02, 2023 12:07 pm Technically he's a faculty member, although he only teaches one "class"...
Am I the only one that finds this kind of stuff completely idiotic???????????????????
Correction, I guess he officially resigned his position as President.
Western BOT wants action now !

He will be required to do more teaching if he chooses to stay. Obviously, he gets a free ride for the rest of this semester, and likely for next since the schedules have already been made and students are enrolling.ST_Lawson wrote: Thu Nov 02, 2023 9:56 am Provost has been removed from his position: https://www.wiu.edu/news/newsrelease.ph ... e_id=19546
Technically he's a faculty member, although he only teaches one "class"...Engineering Senior Project (which sounds like mostly independent study-type stuff). His wife lives in California, so I'd imagine he'll be moving out that way fairly soon.
Associate Provost Mark Mossman is now interim Provost.
I highly doubt he'll stay, though. And if he does it will be at the QC.
If he does “teach a class”, it’ll probably just be in an advisory role, and done remotely.Tere North wrote:He will be required to do more teaching if he chooses to stay.
