CSU Faculty Voice: The Crowley Debacle Finally Ends

The Crowley Debacle Finally Ends

The Crowley case is finally over. Even though the university apparently wanted yet another fruitless hearing, which would have been scheduled for May 1, we suddenly decided to end this fiasco. Our most recent delays cost us an additional $21,000 in interest. No worries, after all, it's not Patrick Cage's money. Here's a Tribune report: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-chicago-state-whistleblower-payment-20170309-story.html

If I were him, I wouldn't be too relieved until the check cleared CSU's bank!

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."
