Interim positions caused by budget impasse, vacancies in departments - Cassie Buchman, Editor in Chief, Daily Eastern

Because of the recently-ended budget crisis and the need for individuals to fill positions quickly, Eastern has a number of administrators currently serving on an interim basis. Being interim means that the university has only done an internal search for the position, and the person in it is not in the position permanently.
