With the Junior G-Man Out of Office, it's Now Just a Regular Car

Yesterday I noticed something different about the state car driven by the President of Chicago State. You may remember how our former president had the car outfitted with red and blue auxiliary lights in the front. Now the two are simply standard white lights. Looks like no more junior policeman in the president's office.

Perhaps Watson is driving the old one around while making noises like a police siren. Or a European ambulance (Mon-ey! Mon-ey! Mon-ey!).

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."
