Cairns resumes duties as Chair of the Faculty

As anticipated by the resolution passed at the September 30 Faculty Executive Committee meeting, Prof. Bruce Cairns resumed his duties as Chair of the Faculty as of December 1st.

We in the Office of Faculty Governance are grateful to Prof. Peter Mucha, chair of the Advisory Committee, for stepping into the breach and serving as Acting Chair of the Faculty for two months while Prof. Cairns recovered from his September 18th cardiac arrest incident. We also appreciate the leadership of Prof. Michael Gerhardt, who chaired the Faculty Executive Committee meetings in Prof. Cairns’s absence.
