OLD BUSINESS:

1. Presidential Search Advisory Committee - Readey presented the following written summary of the Committee's activities:

   There have been four PSAC meetings since the last Senate meeting: December 7,2000, December 14,2000, January 4,2001, and January 11,2001. At the December 7 meeting, the Position Description for the president was discussed and completed at the January 4 meeting and it is now posted on the CSM presidential search website. December 14 was a special meeting to get comments from President-Emeritus Ansell who was here for commencement. At the January 4, 2001 meeting, the search criteria were discussed in addition to completing the position description. At the January 11 meeting, the PSAC met with a representative from the Kom-Ferry search firm. KF said that things were moving slowly because of the holidays. However, as of the 11 th, CSM and KF had received a total of 32 resumes for the position. About 600 letters have been sent out to the 83 nominees at. CSM and KF's list of potential candidates. KF also has a list of potential candidates that they contact Several of these individuals had been already contacted before the meeting and some showed interest and some did not. One disturbing result of these contacts was that several deans of engineering at good research schools said that they were not interested. Also, interestingly, I knew personally several of the names on the list. The plan is to have KF and members of the PSAC contact many of the people on the combined list, particularly those who have showed interest. KF expects that by the end of January, we should have between 60 and lOO resumes to peruse. Also, by the end of January, the PSAC hopes to have a list of potential candidates pared down to about 10-20.

He will meet with representatives from the administrative faculty representative (Carol Chapman), the Classified Employees Council, the Graduate Student Association and the Undergraduate Student Association.
