Interim UMass chancellor Thomas Cole thanks faculty Senate
By DIANE LEDERMAN dlederman@repub.com AMHERST - University of Massachusetts Interim Chancellor Thomas W. Cole Jr. today thanked the faculty Senate for their support and encouragement during a time of transition. "You welcomed me," he said. "I owe you a debt of gratitude for your hospitality." Associated PressThomas W. Cole Jr. Taking the podium, Cole said, "this is not about to be an address" - he just wanted the opportunity to provide a few remarks to the Senate on its last meeting of the year. Cole was hired last August to take over for John V. Lombardi, who left to become president of Louisiana State University. UMass Board of Trustees earlier this month approved the appointment of Robert C. Holub as the next chancellor. Holub will become chancellor in August but will visit the campus in the interim and meet with Cole, who will help with the transition. Cole told the Senate that he will be around for a couple more months and would have the opportunity to talk again. Cole has often praised the university, and took the opportunity to do so again today. "This is a great time to be at UMass Amherst," he said. "All the vital signs are good." He said he is certain of continued progress. "There is no limit to what we do together," he said. He commended the chancellor search committee for its work and in hiring Holub. Cole was not a candidate for the permanent position. "I'll be around a couple of months and offload as much as I can to him," he said, a remark that drew chuckles. He said he has prepared some advice for Holub, who is currently the provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Among the suggestions: "Be a scholar. Know something about union negotiations . . . Make decisions with great speed and without error. "Speak eloquently in words that charm and never offend." "When you tell them where to go, do so" in a way that makes them look forward to the journey. Professor and Senate member Maurianne Adams then read a resolution praising Cole and the several dozen in the audience applauded.
