Colorado State--Pueblo uses rule for email usage to suspend prof's email

You got to check out this link: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/01/20/colorado-state-removes-email-account-professor-who-criticized-cuts. It is a story from Inside Higher Ed about the use of an email rule banning use of email to "intimidate, threaten, harass other individuals or interfere with the activity of others to conduct university business" to suspend the email account of a sociology professor who protested cuts to programs and personnel at the university. Outrageous!! But it is what policies like those at CSU (Chicago State, in this case) make possible.

"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."
