Let's rush this process!

Although PSAC member Professor Eric Walker expressed our concerns about the "flexible" timing of the "debriefing," Chair Ed Burr remained unconcerned and will march along as "efficiently" as possible. So I will continue to post updates with information.

UPDATE: 9:26: Candidate Marchase on closing statement. Thrasher up next, likely no break in between.

UPDATE: 9:50: Burr felt compelled to read long statement about not disrupting proceedings. Claims transparency.  Uh...

UPDATE: 11:49: will post a longer blog about my impressions of the candidates later, but let's just say that one of the best lines in the politician's interview was either "I am not a thespian" or that he woke up thinking about "this academics thing."

UPDATE: 1:19: Things have been on time so far.

UPDATE: 2:06: Stokes giving her final remarks. One more candidate before the "debriefing."

UPDATE: 2:18: Looks like Chairman Burr changed his mind. Things are running on time.

UPDATE: 3:15: Well, looks like they are "debriefing" now.

UPDATE: 4:18: Deliberations starting.

UPDATE: 5:21:Candidates are Wheatly, Martin, Marchase, and Thrasher. Faculty, Students, and Dean were outvoted again.
