CSU Faculty Voice: Officially Absurd

Officially Absurd

Once again, our administration has subjected Chicago State to public ridicule. This time it is that ridiculous "Communications" policy that seems to prohibit anyone on campus talking to anyone else about anything without administrative approval. Given the continuing negative press this administrative "team" generates for this university it is simply time for them to go elsewhere. I wonder how long it will take our Board of Trustees to realize that our current leadership (headed by the million dollar man and filled with Community College lateral transfers and crony hires), is not up to running this, or any other university.

"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."
