[Assistant-faculty] Department meeting on Monday

["Tobin, Roger" <Roger Tobin tufts edu>]

Reminder:  We will be having a department meeting on Monday May 2, 12:00 - 
1:15 pm, in Robinson 250.

The purpose is to decide on our priorities for faculty position requests 
for next year.  Based on our earlier discussion, the two highest priority 
proposals seem to be in High Energy Theory and Soft Condensed Matter 
Experiment. It is possible that we will submit requests for both 
positions, but we need to provide a priority ranking.

So as things stand right now, the primary question before the meeting will 
be which of those two positions should be given higher priority. It is 
possible, of course, that other proposals or issues could come up at the 
meeting.

Please attend the meeting and participate in the discussion if you 
possibly can. If it is impossible for you to attend, but you wish to cast 
a vote, you may do it in one of two ways:

1)  Notify me ahead of time what your vote is (i.e. which of the two 
positions should have higher priority), or
2)  Give your proxy to a faculty member who will be in attendance. In that 
case, let me know before the meeting who has your proxy (and let your 
proxy know, too!).

See you on Monday,

Roger
