Without 6 figure crony consultant pay, you articulately developed a plan, clearly defined goals and objectives, steps needed to reach them, and offered measuring sticks and solutions. You elevate, inspire, respect faculty and all constituents, abide by ethics and rules, and are transparent. As only best of educators do, you teach through example what a brilliant leader looks like and does. <br /><br />Days after their nefarious act to destroy outstanding leader and prof is exposed, all they have to show for their combined millions in salaries is link to Florida search firm? If letter inviting President of Faculty Senate and President of Union on search committee and faculty is not forthcoming, it is time to (again) rally public university faculties together to protest/demand investigation of ethics violations. Why hasn't F.B.I. investigated yet? Do they want to pretend federal laws aren't routinely broken at CSU like they did at Penn State? What do they call tampering with contracts and records and retaliation and discrimination? Administrators bribed students to falsely testify against Willie as retaliation;and where is the federal investigation to get rid of all these people colluding,lying, and covering up?Voicedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771733996841512996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187403837913738089.post-368264324255648992015-03-17T13:40:29.353-05:002015-03-17T13:40:29.353-05:00I can only add to Pancho's remarks by saying t...I can only add to Pancho's remarks by saying that without the humanities and social sciences, those "objective" STEM scientists will not understand the myriad ways culture shapes their research agendas and the questions they ask. They will not be able to recognize the inherent biases in their own work.

I quarrel only with the comment about STEM being the future of the university. I think it is a bad idea to overemphasize STEM as is the trend today. Humanities and social sciences are the foundation of a liberal education. Without training in the humanities and social sciences we will create only technocrats. who don't think about how their 'science' impacts the world. They won't be able to understand the role of culture and diverse ways of knowing. The multiple and varied epistemologies of the planet's numerous peoples tend to be marginalized in the 'hard' sciences. Generally, only in the humanities and social sciences do you get even a glimpse into our complex world. STEM without a foundation in humanities and social sciences is like a body without a heart and soul.Professor Panchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683107394023817405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187403837913738089.post-59637490488653605112015-03-16T21:07:17.185-05:002015-03-16T21:07:17.185-05:00Apologies, Phil, I misread your remark.

He has nearly twenty years as a president and has proven what he could do at CSU. Unfortunately it was the BOT chair who kept him from doing more.

None of the those three (not including the most recent interim) had experience as a president of a university before." Dr Frank G. Pogue was the President of Edinboro University before serving as interim President.
