We Owe Jim Crowley $4.3 Million. Well Done Wayne Watson, Patrick Cage and Everyone Else Who Contributed to This Travesty

Here's the latest on the Crowley case: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-state-whistleblower-final-payment-20170131-story.html In particular see the idiotic remarks by Sabrina Land, clearly mouthing the administrative line. Unfortunately, as usual, we've learned nothing from this. Part of Land's comments included this: "The University continues to express its disappointment with this 2014 verdict. Our highest priority is to focus on productive and important matters such as our students, staff and university operations." The best way to create productivity on this campus is for Land and the rest of the crony army brought on board by Wayne Watson to immediately terminate their employment at this school. The residual damage from the Watson administration will continue for years.

Land may speak for the administration, but she does not speak for all quarters of "the University," let alone the so-called "CSU family." I for one continue to express my disappointment that Wayne Watson and his cadre of cronies brought about this 2014 verdict. And what's the current tally? How many more of these lawsuits are there yet to play out?

"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."
