Dave Benfield has worked with the Wayne County commissioners for years, so why did he feel the need to introduce himself earlier this week? Benfield’s interactions with the commissioners in the past came when he was associate director of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center. Since Steve Slack’s retirement, Benfield is now director of Ohio State University’s Wooster campus and wanted to schedule a formal meeting.

Money can be saved in this area, as well as in insurance. As the transition moves forward, there are still some questions about who will become dean of the college. Hendrick is leaving for Michigan State University. McPheron is being considered for the provost position; if he does not get appointed permanently to the position, then returning as dean is a possibility. A permanent associate dean of research and graduation will likely not be named until a permanent dean is in place. All of this could take up to 18 months or more. “Our goal is to forge ahead; we’re not going to let that slow us down,” Benfield said. “The research is continuing. We are not worrying about who’s in

As many of you may know, Mount St. Mary’s University has gone through transformative changes. Many of these changes have challenged the very structure of the university we applied to. President Simon Newman and his administration have taken strides to encourage the Mount community to respect the coming changes. We are told that these changes are necessary for the Mount to become “Mount 2.0.” Though we recognize that change is demanding and testing, we also understand that change is crucial for growth. Amongst these changes that are happening, the Mount is in search for a new Dean of Students. To our astonishment, the current Interim Dean of Students, Ken McVearry, is not being considered for the search. Dean McVearry not only assumed the position
Turning to the final events that resulted in the Complainant being pulled from service, once again no records were located he sought any accommodation much less had one approved through the appropriate channels. Complainant was removed from service on September 28, 2015 after reporting to work with his service/comfort dog, Jack Jr. Complainant was sent home per instructions from Roger Lambert, Superintendent, Western Transportation Region. Due to the safety critical nature of the position of Engineer as previously discussed in this position statement, Complainant was removed from service. Lambert had just discovered that a service/companion animal was in the rail yard. Lambert, who had been in his position since October 1, 2014, was unaware of any accommodation that had been provided to Birchfield. Lambeth explained all accommodations would be funneled through him. Prior to Lambeth tenure, Rod Doerr, who is currently Vice President of Safety and Chief Safety Officer, was the Superintendent, for Transportation in Colton, CA. Doerr denied that he approved an accommodation for the Complainant. Doerr affirmed that he would have been the individual notified should an accommodation been approved when he was Superintendent in 2013.
