The Board Gets Rid of the President, the Management Action Committee and the University Advisory Committee on Friday: Senior Administrators Will be Able to Continue the Destruction of CSU

In perhaps the most disgraceful episode in the sorry history of this school, our God awful Board has turned over the University to the Watson cronies who have done so much to destroy the school. On Friday, the Board will articulate the "separation agreement" with President Calhoun and will name an interim president. The Board will also disband the Management Action Committee. No need when the Watson cronies are firmly in place. In effect, the University will loose all claim to viability at that time. That's the legacy of this Board of Trustees: Anthony Young, Spencer Leak, Horace Smith, Nikki Zollar, James Joyce, Michael Curtin, and Marshall Hatch. If there's a worse Board in the country, I have no idea where it is. Here's the agenda for Friday's meeting:

Prediction:

The four reverends on the board, together with Rauner's friends, Rev. Corey Brooks and Rev. James Meeks, will buy the campus for a fraction of its value ($50 million?) and plop a Bible college on the site. Of course, it would be a non-profit so they would not benefit personally.

"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."
