Fall Enrollment 2012? Mum's the word...

And an observation from our friends in the far reaches of retirement regarding the low enrollment of Illinois state institutions of higher learning... CSU says "no comment."

"Note this news report on Illinois College enrollment. Apparently our highly paid enrollment management team was too busy, befuddled, or bashful to publicly share the results of their hard work along side those of all the other Illinois public universities..." --FOB

Enrollment Down at Most Illinois Public Universities

"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."
