Editor,

I enjoyed your recent article on faculty approval of the new Environmental Analysis (EA) major, but hasten to correct the statement that I shall be running the new EA program. This is not true. In fact, my involvement with EA is transitional and diminishing, and as far as running the program goes, the coordinators for 2001-2002 will be professors Richard Elderkin (Mathematics) and Gene Fowler (Biology).

A formal search process for an EA director will begin next year, I understand, and it is far from clear who the first formal program director will be. A group of interested faculty, and students too, I hope, will be involved in the search process, which still has to be framed. FMI, contact Richard Elderkin.

Sincerely,

Richard Hazlett

Associate Professor of Geology
