Not exactly enthusiastic


















I am chairing a search for a new director of the university honors program.  Part of the application process is procuring a letter of support from the applicant's chair.  The below is the exact text (name redacted) of the letter of support I received for one of the candidates:
Dr. _____ has asked me to contact you concerning his application for the director’s position.  If Dr. ____ is successful in obtaining this position I believe that the Department of Engineering can handle with only minor inconveniences his 50% release time.
Okaaaaay . . . waiter, this coffee is tepid.
