UC
Jack
Baskin School of Engineering
Dean Search
To: UC Santa Cruz campus
From: Campus Provost and
Executive Vice Chancellor Kliger
May 1, 2008
As many of you are aware,
the first round of interviews for a new Jack Baskin School of Engineering Dean did
not result in a successful hire. The Search Committee will now re-evaluate the
pool of candidates, including applications that were received after the initial
review date. Depending on the
outcome of that review, a second round of interviews will be held either this
summer or in the fall.
Professor Michael Isaacson
has graciously agreed to continue his service as Acting Dean until the
completion of the search. Extension of
his appointment will require approval by the UC Regents. I am grateful to Acting Dean Isaacson for his
service and dedication to the Jack Baskin School of Engineering.
I would also like to thank
the Search Committee for their diligence and commitment to the Jack Baskin
School of Engineering Dean search. The
committee and I are in agreement that we will take whatever time is needed to
bring the right candidate to this important position. The committee welcomes your comments,
feedback and suggestions; particularly related to whether another round of
campus visits would be most productive in the summer or the fall. The
search committee will keep you apprised of the status of the search.
