Our Lavish Spending on Watson-Era Administrators Again Gets Good Press. Why Doesn't the Tribune Mention They Have Known About This Crap For Years? How do We Know? Because We've Told Them and Asked Them to Take a Look at What Went on at the School.

Here's a recent editorial in the Tribune about the financial payouts to terminated administrators. Take the Tribune's outrage with a grain of salt, we've been telling them this stuff for years. Just like everyone else in this state, they didn't give a damn. Lots more damage to the school forthcoming from the Watson era. Right now, the Crowley judgement is around $5 million, plus the University's never-ending legal fees for private counsel to defend the indefensible. Thanks again to Wayne and all his cronies, many of whom are still around doing material damage.

"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."
