Job Opening?
Word on the blog vine is Chancellor Walter Wendler has resigned. Probably the report to President Poshard by the committee investigating plagiarism in Southern@150 contained bad news for Walter since Poshard hasn't commented -- more than a week after the report was submitted.
Peter the Great broke the news yesterday.
But wait! Not so fast. Nothing has been announced yet, and Walter came to work this morning, according to the young lady who answered the phone at the Chancellor's office. His secretary was away from her desk. SIUC News Service chief, Sue Davis, was also unavailable. She may be working on a press release for the official announcement.

UPDATE 6pm: A reliable source tells me that Sue Davis insists that the Chancellor has not resigned, and a comment to this posts explains the resignation process going through the Board of Trustees.

Next scheduled BOT meeting is Nov 9.
I do not think there would be a resignation without a special BOT meting. But who knows. I was told by a "good source" that Larry D was going o be fired - last Friday! Sometimes a rumor is just a rumor.
