Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles lamentsthe "sad acts of our peer institutions...to moveto early decision programs" saying that attemptsto "capture students and constrain their choice[are] not beneficial."
"[When considering academic gifts] one is much more cautious, because of the need for the shape of the Faculty to be determined by the Faculty and not, as it were, by the interests of others," says Jeremy R. Knowles, Dean of the Faculty.
"Some departments have been much more successful than others at hiring women in the recent past, and I want to be certain that we learn from those successes, and use that knowledge to catalyze change elsewhere," Knowles wrote in his letter to the Faculty.
Knowles also wrote that he expected the group would consider subject definitions, search procedures, recruitment strategies and any other factors influencing appointments.
"It represents a real opportunity to transform the faculty in terms of diversity," says Doherty, who serves as a liaison between Knowles and the task force.
