<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Faculty, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing with some updates on our search for the Vice Provost for Administrative Resolution (VPAR) and to invite your participation in the search.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><o:p><span style="text-decoration:none"> </span></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The search advisory committee had originally recommended two finalist candidates. One of those candidates subsequently withdrew from the search, so we are moving forward with one finalist who will participate in a day-long virtual interview
that includes an open session on <b><u>Monday, August 16<sup>th</sup> from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m</u></b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">The candidate’s application materials, along with the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Zoom<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>link to participate in the open session, will be posted to the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b><u><a href="https://provost.ucr.edu/vpar-vice-provost-administrative-resolution">executive
searches</a> </u></b>website 24 hours ahead of the candidate’s finalist interview and will be accessible via the UCR network (including VPN connections). The open session is open to UCR faculty and will include a Q&A session.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your input is important as we move forward in the search, and I encourage everyone to participate in the open session. For those unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts, the session will be recorded and posted to the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b><u><a href="https://provost.ucr.edu/vpar-vice-provost-administrative-resolution">executive
searches</a> </u></b>website. Recordings will be viewable only from the UCR<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>network/VPN. Feedback on the candidate will be collected via an online survey.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance for your time and assistance in evaluating this candidate. Your willingness to provide feedback helps to shape the overall picture of candidacy and qualifications, along with input from other campus constituents, the
search committee, and multiple references.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
