[Sci-tech-public] Re: Joe Dumit

[Michael Fischer]

We wish to congratulate Professor Joseph Dumit on his appointment to 
the Directorship of the Science and Technology Studies Program at the 
University of California at Davis.   He will be taking up his new 
position there this coming academic year 2005-2006 on a leave of 
absence from MIT.

The appeal on the handling of his case at MIT continues.   Joe has 
been an extraordinarily valued member of our faculty, and we will 
miss his presence next year enormously.  If the appeals are 
successful, we will work hard to attract Joe back to MIT.
