Wow, they really don’t want people to meet candidates for the CIO

Walter Kraft just sent around the following:

Open forums will take place next week for the Chief Information Officer candidates. All forums will take place from 1:15 – 2 p.m. in 205 Welch Hall. The schedule is as follows:

Monday
Dewitt Latimer, Deputy CIO & Chief Technology Officer, Assistant Provost/Assistant Vice President, University of Notre Dame (Indiana)

Tuesday
Amy Brooks, Executive Director, U of M, Information Technology Central Services

Wednesday
Frank Monaco, Information Technology Consulting, Frank J. Monaco & Associates, LLC

Friday
Carl Powell, Vice President & CIO, Metropolitan State College of Denver (Denver, CO)

Now, I realize that the Chief Information Officer position is one of those things where maybe the need for a public forum for the candidates is pretty minimal. Still, it seems like holding these forums during finals week is pretty silly.

By the way, how come Connie Schaffer isn’t on this list?
