RE: Request for Professor Emeritus Status Dr. Gashaw Lake

Dr. Thomas,

I am requesting your review and approval to recommend Dr. Gashaw Lake to President Brown for appointment as professor emeritus at Kentucky State University. Based on the guidelines specified in the Faculty Handbook, faculty within his department was polled and a majority voted in favor to recommend Dr. Lake's appointment. In addition, the Chair, Dr. Elgie McFayden, and I as Acting Dean of the College also support his appointment. Your support would be greatly appreciated. Attached is a letter from Dr. Lake for your review and consideration. Many thanks.
