Greely clarifies Faculty Senate comments
At the Faculty Senate meeting of May 13, 2004, I praised the president for his selection of Larry Kramer as the next dean of the Law School but I spent more time discussing the law faculty's unhappiness with the amount and kind of input it had into the process by which he was selected. I stated that most of us strongly believed that more openness in the process would let us give better advice to the president in making his decision, would give the new dean a stronger political position and would usefully focus the law faculty on the school's future. The minutes of that meeting, as published in last week's Stanford Report, contained all of my positive comments about Dean Kramer but boiled down the faculty's complaints about the process to half of one sentence. The draft minutes have been corrected to provide a more complete version of those comments; the revised version of the minutes will be available at the Faculty Senate website, https://www.stanford.edu/dept/facultysenate .
