A New Look For A New Year

So loyal readers, you may have noticed the long running graphic of Crony State University has been replaced. Currently the administrators of this humble blog are endeavoring to introduce a new graphic, more consistent with the expected improvements being considered by President Calhoun. This does not mean that the existing cronies are exonerated or departed and it does not mean that we will not continue to keep the community informed on goings on as we have for almost seven years. We do hope to bring you more good news especially about areas that we have reported on.

Thanks to you loyal readers for your support and we look forward to keeping you as informed as we always have.

"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."
