"An internal search, for a position of this magnitude, is not only misaligned with institutional peers, [it] limits our ability to identify the best candidate. Furthermore, it fosters an impression that the slate of potential candidates is already determined," the letter stated. "It is exceptionally concerning that the current Chancellor appears to be soliciting applications for the position, superseding the Evaluation Committee Chair or Board Chair.
