In early November, the AAUP chapter contacted Danielle Garbe Reser’97, Chair of the Presidential Search Committee, and made the requests below of the search committee’s members.

The Three Requests

• A request to include the chapter among those groups from the college community that will have a chance to meet with candidates for present selected for campus visits.
• A request that each of these candidates be asked to respond to three specific questions about academic freedom and one question about open searches’ pros and cons in the selection of future presidents.
• A request that, once an individual is hired, their responses to the four questions be made known to the entire college community.
