<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The union has requested more specific information
on hiring criteria for annual and quarterly lecturers who are applying for
reappointments next year. We have been informed that this information will
be forthcoming after the Writing Program Committee meets on May 19. We
have also requested an extension of the May 20 application deadline so that
applicants have some time to respond to the new information on criteria if they
wish to. Such an extension cannot formally be granted until and
unless approval comes from Academic Personnel, but Professor Briggs's letters to
current pre-six lecturers did already state that supplemental additions to
files may be made through May 23. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Accordingly, this is a heads-up to applicants to
watch for an email from John Briggs on May 19.</FONT></DIV>
