Presidential Matters Frustration abounds over search committee for next university president Perla Luna and Erin Fox The Santa Clara

A contentious meeting on Oct. 12 between student leaders and members of the Presi- dential Search Committee (PSC) prompted a letter of complaint from students alleging the use of dismissive and sexist language. The letter was widely shared via email among faculty and led to a “message of support” that has been signed by more than 90 faculty members con- demning the “dismissal of student concern.” The complaints of students and faculty reflect confusion over the selection process and a lack of input in how the replacement for outgoing University President Michael Engh, S.J., is chosen. “I felt insulted we were asked to be there but we were not actually listened to,” Diana Servin said, president of the Undocumented Students and Allies Association. “The way the people in the room were responding to student concerns was pretty rude for it to be such a professional setting.” The student meeting was part of the Com- mittee’s ongoing process of gathering feedback from stakeholders inside and outside of
