In an interaction one professor called “admittedly difficult,” President James Ramsey’s routine president report to the faculty senate today quickly became uneasy.
Ramsey came to discuss two things: state budget cuts and the provost search. Ramsey said some faculty members were “surprised and shocked” they were doing an internal search for provost.
“I was surprised and shocked that you were shocked and surprised,” Ramsey said.
Faculty members in attendance were unhappy the provost search was only open for internal candidates, not allowing people outside of U of L to apply.
