CSU Faculty Voice: Twice in one week????

Twice in one week????

So I didn't think I would have two in one week, but here's another one you can put in the "Only at CSU" column. The spectacularly failed president is now trying to find out how to raise morale at the university that he has managed to almost destroy over the past six years. I don't know if that's irony, desperation or stupidity but there it is. I asked one of my long suffering colleagues what the regime could do to raise morale and the response was a caustic "just f@*#in' leave."

And upon reflection, I heartily concur.

"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."
