Epilogue: Madhubuti moving on...

What do they say about a prophet in his own land?

"He's swapping one iconic black heroine for another. Haki Madhubuti, the founder and director emeritus of the Gwendolyn Brooks Center at Chicago State University, has been named DePaul University's new Ida B. Wells-Barnett university professor. This fall he will teach two classes, lecture and conduct faculty workshops on race at
DePaul..." --Laura Washington, Chicago Sun Times, June 7, 2010

Thanks to Haki Madhabuti

"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."

From an open letter to the CSU Community, 2009.
