If that's the level of discourse you use with your students, I suppose
we shouldn't be surprised by the declining state of the U.S. higher-
education system.

Channing clearly intended to resign his position on the EB. The only
circumstance under which this silly quibble would be of any
significance would be if he showed up at the next Board meeting and
tried to vote. The probability of this approaches zero, and in any
case would be of concern only to the other EB members.
