Get to know him...

We know about the vote of no confidence and strike in at the City Colleges. Check out some other articles related to the next CSU president. (And feel free to add any others you know of to this blog).

I received a call from the Better Gov't Assoc. yesterday, spoke with someone there, and gave him three of our names, but only of people whose names had appeared in the newspapers (I believe). I thought these articles were interesting, especially in light of Finney's justification of the choice of Watson on the grounds of his high level of integrity and honesty. "Integrity" and "honest" must mean "pay off the right people" in someone's lexicon.

"1. He/she must be a scholar of national note, with significant peer review publications and books in his or her field. There must be no doubt as to his/her standing in the community of scholars. This would also include a history of the candidate’s participation in the appropriate professional organizations.

2. He/she must have served with distinction as the administrative head of a major unit within an institution of higher learning or at the important position of Provost and/or Dean. Of course, prior service at the presidential level is preferred.

3. He/she must have a documented history of raising significant monies from the private and public sectors. At most major and research one universities it is not unusual to expect the president to come with a plan to raise in excess of half a billion dollars or more in the first few years.

4. The prospective president must have a consensus buy-in from the faculty, students, administration and staff, therefore, arriving with a unity mandate to lead by joining a University community that has bought into his or her vision for the future."
