Hello, as a member of the Employee Council I am a bit dismayed to see you describe the Search Committee as “composed of students, alumni and faculty” in your very nice article about Biddy Martin, when the Committee also included members of the College’s staff and administration. This seems a small error, but I assure you that for the non-faculty employees who have worked very hard for inclusion in the governance of the College, recognition of our part in Biddy’s selection is extremely important. I know that students appreciate the services that are provided by the staff and administration and I am certain that you would not intentionally render us invisible but unfortunately that is what happens all too often.

Thanks for your attention to this and I hope we can move forward, appreciating everyone’s contribution to the life of the College.
