Comments on: UM-Flint’s Jack Kay Provost at EMU starting August 2009 http://emutalk.org/2009/06/um-flint-jack-kay-provost-at-emu-starting-august-2009/ Talk for and about Eastern Michigan U. Fri, 10 Sep 2010 00:37:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Mark Higbee http://emutalk.org/2009/06/um-flint-jack-kay-provost-at-emu-starting-august-2009/comment-page-1/#comment-56269 Mark Higbee Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:05:00 +0000 http://emutalk.org/?p=1574#comment-56269 One of the things that most impressed me about Jack Kay when I heard him speak last month was his ability to make the provost office "work" in the sense of communicating and being responsive to all the work - a huge amount of paper and information - that goes through any university's provost office. I think we shall soon see a real improvement in the performance of the Provost's office. For too long, the provost's office at EMU has been 'the place good ideas go to die.' I commend Dr. Martin for this choice, and congratulate Dr. Kay on being selected as Provost. And many thanks too to everyone who helped with this search.
