CSU Faculty Voice: Roll Call

Roll Call

So I was struck by the claim that Angela Henderson and Cheri Sidney need protection from attack, that they are the victims of academic misconduct and lying on an employment application. The insulting nature of this should be clear especially given that more accomplished African-American women were subject to attack by this regime since 2009 and received no protection. A roll call might be useful to jog the memory of those unsure of what I am talking about. How might the university have been different if the following former colleagues were protected:

Dr. Cheryl Green
Dr. Sylvia Gist
Ms. Lois Davis
Ms. Carnice Hill
Ms. Mary Butler
Dr. Rachel Lindsey
Dr. Sandra Westbrooks
Ms. Addie Epps
Dr. Teresa McKinney
Ms. Brenda Hooker
Dr. Dolores Lipscomb
Dr. Patricia George
Dr. Cecilia Bowie
Dr. Juanita Sharpe
Dr. Debrah Jefferson

To the regime, you have been warned!

Here is a proposal, Phillip: What about inviting all of these women who gave so much to CSU to campus to give a forum on the meaning of a university or some other such topic. I am not sure how many could be persuaded to come, but even if only four or five would come, a well-advertised forum could have a powerful impact.

"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."
