The Swami Was Wrong! What Must the Board Think?

So I think the Swami’s prediction is wrong, to wit, this case, CV 14-04970, filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois today. Feel free to visit this link, FIRE, to see the complaint in its entirety. No, loyal readers, neither I nor my colleague Bob Bionaz will be able to discuss this case until it is resolved, save giving updates along the way that don't compromise our case. I am sure if you have been following this humble forum for the past several months, you will be aware of the actions taken by administration officials to silence dissent. Sadly, it is now out of our hands and in the hands of the federal court.

Stay tuned as we do our best to keep you apprized of the case’s progress.

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."
