Governors State cuts 22 programs; Northeastern Ill Univ employees to take 5 furlough days--and CSU?

Seems the bad news about public education in the state of ILL is getting worse. Our sisters schools, Governors State and Northeastern ILL, are taking some drastic actions this month--see article below. What does Gov Rauner and the legislature, IBHE, HLC have up their sleeves I wonder?

This is getting silly. At this point I'd say break the budget up into components and pass those where the difference is small (probably most components) by just splitting the difference. Education has to be one of the top 3 components. At this point is everyone's fault for no compromising, and everyone's fault for having sacred cows and wont budge positions.

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."
