On January 1, 2016, Chicago State's New President Takes Office

Most important from the perspective of the staff, faculty and students at Chicago State, Thomas Calhoun's contract begins on January 1, 2016 (as reported in the Chicago Tribune).

Crowley's lawsuit and pending lawsuits which names Watson in the lawsuits, is Watson liable for his involvement or is CSU picking up the whole tab? If the lawsuits are upheld by the court what portion of the cost will Watson have to pay?

"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.
