...will likely consult her on that issue.The directors of various offices and centers focused on tenure, research, and faculty recruitment also need to be consulted if the office would be impacted or have its domain diminished by even the smallest change in policy proposed by the bill. Few things halt change as effectively as a senior member of the University or faculty protesting after not having been consulted in a preliminary discussion.Next, the bill enters the official discussion mechanism of the University: the committee.
