Dear Colleagues,

Last year President Cotton and Provost Lying convened “The Working Group to Study the Feasibility of a ‘Committee Against Gossip and Slander'” on our campus. That working group was created after a previous working group, “Working Group on the Problem of Gossip and Slander” determined that gossip and slander merited a working group.

Anyway, the “Committee Against Gossip and Slander” is now seeking expressions of interest from faculty, staff, and also enthusiastic students. Basic requirements to serve include a willingness to commit to ten to fifteen hours a week, expertise or interest in learning about systems of surveillance, and above all, enthusiasm to fight against what we at Willard College believe are the two greatest dangers to our institution, Gossip. And Slander. Faculty who join will have their teaching load reduced immediately.

Please direct all inquiries to me. Successful applicants should provide three character witnesses.

Eufalua Cotton, Executive Administrative Secretary to Provost Lying
