We need a new university-wide policy. All "interims" are replaced with the real thing within 120 days. The interim tags imply that someone is either dragging their feet getting things done or you don't have enough money to pay your hired help.

After further review, I think 90 days is even better.

The President is the one who makes the VP appointments, but here Thomas has been derelict in his duties.

Jackie derelict in his duties??? SHOCKING!!
