  (b) It is invalid because we do not know what a provost is.
  (c) It is invalid because we do now know when Hoopster was a provost.
  (d) It is invalid because we cannot be sure if we are referring to the same provost.
  (e) It is invalid because the dean saved the university from financial and academic disaster.
