McDonald said that she was disappointed that the minutes had been distributed outside the Caucus.

"It is difficult to operate in a climate where information from internal sessions and memos are circulated beyond the chairs," she said.

"Nevertheless," she added, "colleagues remain focused on the major issues facing the faculty."
...
McDonald said yesterday that the Caucus met with Kirby and Dean of the College Benedict H. Gross '71 at its Nov. 10 meeting to discuss the curricular review (see sidebar), and that it plans to meet with Kirby again in January.

McDonald said that the Caucus has yet to meet with Summers, though she expects the group will invite him to one of its meetings before the end of the academic year.

"We wished to first deal with the curriculum review and then to prepare substantive issues to discuss with him," she said.
...
The group, which is open to all department and committee chairs, has already named its leadership for the spring semesterâ€"History Department Chair Andrew Gordon and Environmental Science and Public Policy Committee Chair James J. McCarthy will take over coordinator duties, McDonald said yesterday.
...
After an article about the letter was published in The Crimson, Summers sent a response directly to McDonald, and later to the entire Faculty.

After an article about the letter was published in The Crimson, Summers sent a response directly to McDonald, and later to the entire Faculty.

An e-mail from Romance Languages and Literatures Department Chair Christie McDonald dated September 6, which was obtained by The Crimson, lists "potential candidates" for Harper's position that, she wrote, "have found consensus among several colleagues."
...
McDonald noted in the e-mail that the list was not meant to be "exhaustive or limiting."She could not be reached for comment.

"Since the events of a year ago, I think it is not clear from the point of view of a lot of faculty members where the legitimacy to make this choice will come from," said Christie McDonald, chair of the department of Romance languages and literatures.
