(follow-up email from Dr. Mares: the name and position title has been officially corrected on the position approval and job description to say “Center Coordinator, Student Equity” with the work location being “Student Equity Center”. The necessary changes have also been made to the job description itself – and since the changes were purely semantic and did not affect the actual duties that will be carried out by our future colleague, I have been assured that it will not in fact affect the timeline of recruitment or require additional approval/etc.)
