Memo from Annette Ezell to Sara Coulter, 1989

TOWSON STATE UNIVERSITY Towson, Maryland 21204-7097 Office of the President (301) 830-2361 December 20, 1989 MEMORANDUM TO: Dr. Sara Coulter, Chair center for the study of women and Education Recruitment Committee FROM: Dr. Annette Ezell, Assistant to the President I wish to bring to your attention some concerns I have noted regarding the search activities for the Director of the Center for the Study of Women and Education, authorized in the Provost's Staffing Plan (October 9, 1989). Although the position is listed as an academic line, the advertisement description indicates the position is not a faculty position. Yet, the position is one in which scholarly activities are expected and there is proposed involvement in scholarly faculty work across academic disciplines. Thus, the way the search is currently being conducted, whoever is hired cannot be considered a faculty member of the University. This fact should be made clear to all participants. And theoretically, if the person hired in this position should ever wish to seek a faculty position, the person could not be "rolled-over" into a faculty slot but would be required to participate in a departmental national search, conducted in compliance with supplement 2 of the Faculty Handbook. Your attached ad has been approved. AE:kag Enclosure cc: Dr. Chappell Dr. Sheets Mr. Fleck
