A03-A05
Meetings
Meetings of A03-AG5 employees were called recently by President Henry King Stanford to introduce the new management team, encourage participation in the staff employees’ new advisory committee and discuss changes being made in the staffing of Physical Plant operations. The first meeting was held Thursday, Feb. 17, at main campus followed by a second meeting Monday, Feb. 21, at medical campus.
President Stanford introduced both Dr. Clyde J. Wingfield, executive vice president for academic affairs and provost, and Dr. John L. Green, Jr., executive vice president for administration and finance. Also introduced were Mr. Oliver Bonnert, business manager, and Dr. Carl L. Thornton, executive director of Personnel.
President Stanford, saying that “communications between my A03-A05 colleagues and the central administration are in somewhat a state of disrepair,” pointed out the need to strengthen communications among all employees of the University.
Dr. Green said that one of his first assignments at the University last June was to convince service and maintenance workers that he and his staff wanted to work with them directly rather than through a collective bargaining agent. Continued on Page 7
