From Our Friends At FIRE

So, loyal readers I wanted to share a new development in our continuing saga at Crony State University. The forces of oppression have seemingly been blunted by those who still value small ideas like the First Amendment. Below is a letter from our friends at FIRE. Enjoy reading this only if you value free expression as much as we do here at CSU Faculty Voice. You may click on the images for a larger view and easier reading.

And of course we will discuss the latest Whistleblower lawsuit in our upcoming posts.

Thanks to Haki Madhabuti

"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."

From an open letter to the CSU Community, 2009.
