Barbara J. Grosz, who is McKay professor of computer science and is currently the only tenured woman in the computer science department, said she is happy to have Seltzer's company.

"She's a fabulous colleague," Grosz said of Seltzer. "We certainly hope she'll stay."

As a newly tenured professor, Selzter has to renegotiate her contract, and may field offers from other schools.

"It's as if I didn't have a job here," Seltzer said.

Grosz said that Seltzer has made great contributions to her areas of specialty.
