Rice is contemplating a merger with Baylor College of Medicine, in what may be the most important decision in our institution's history.
When the Faculty Senate was formed, a provision was made for the full faculty to meet whenever events warrant it, upon the collection of 50 faculty signatures. In that spirit, we call for a meeting of the full faculty to discuss this merger and to air both our aspirations and our concerns.
The feedback I am gathering from departments across campus shows a deep desire for transparency regarding the future of our institution. I have been in steady communication with my colleagues to ensure we have a clear path forward for this meeting. Your willingness to put your names behind this request proves that the faculty must have a central role in this decision.
April 8, 2009
Seeing this level of engagement from my colleagues confirms that we all understand the weight of this decision for the future of our campus. It is clear that the faculty is ready to be heard and I am grateful to everyone who has stepped up to push for this meeting.

This merger is way too significant to go forward without a full discussion. We deserve to be heard before any final decisions are made.

Completely agree. Faculty should have a say in the future of the university. Why the rush?

Transparency is key here. Just let us talk about it in an open forum.
