CSU Faculty Voice: For the Blog That Nobody Reads

For the Blog That Nobody Reads

So I have heard on several occasions from administrators that nobody even reads this blog so why do we continue to waste our time publishing it. I have been called despicable, and told I don't have a life and should get one. I have been subjected to any number of personal attacks. My fellow Crony State Eight have also been attacked virtually and personally. And yet, my colleagues and I continue to publish the blog nobody reads. Interestingly, a couple of other bloggers have picked up on the university's continued attacks on our attempt to shine the light on this public body's behavior. I hope you enjoy their comments as much as I did.

"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."
