Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All!!

To All of the Faculty Voice Blog Participants and Guests,

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! We may disagree on some policy initiative or vision for the university's future occasionally, but we can all agree on the importance of family and spending time with loved one's, the glad tidings the holiday season brings and the cause of realizing the common good in our communities; whether that community is personal and familial, institutional, or societal.

So Happy Holidays to All from the Faculty Voice Blog!

"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.
