One is the loneliest number. But in the presidential search committee, one student will be forced to represent the entire student body. On Feb. 9, Herman Muller Jr., chair of the Board of Trustees, announced the composition of the presidential search committee: seven trustees, three faculty members, one dean, one staff member and one student. Faculty, staff and students are grossly underepresented on this committee. Choosing a new president is by far the most crucial decision for this institution'·~ future. We are not just naming another building or discussing College renovations. We are deciding on a new direction for the College. It is a choice which, if made wisely, could propel the THE ITHACAN'S VIEW College towards greatness. It could just as easily doom this institution to mediocrity. Yet the board is willing to take on making this awesome decision with only token input from the campus community. This is frightening. Expecting one student to represent the entire student body is an unrealistic and unreasonable expectation. It is virtually impossible for one person to voice the opinion of a diverse group such as the student body. This is compounded by the committee's lopsided composition. Illustration by Tim Lynch One student will be forced to sit on the committee without the support of even one peer-an intimidating experience for even the strongest of LETTERS students. The logic behind the board's decision is questionable. The board is the smallest group on this campus, and yet they constitute over one half of the presidential search committee. In fact, if all the other Achieving excellence representatives on the committee join together, from the one dean to the one student, they still would not comprise a voting majority. Further, students, faculty and staff cannot even choose their own representatives. Interested applicants are originally screened by the through action, conviction Student Government Association or Faculty/Staff Councils. But the final decision is made by the board itself.
