CSU Faculty Voice: We aren't the only ones....

We aren't the only ones....

We aren't the only ones suffering under incompetent board leadership. This is a link to a Chronicle blog about what is happening at Florida Atlantic University. I guess this is what we can expect from a vindictive board and their applicant. The comments are very interesting.

Look at what happened - Westbrooks is appointed as interim President not Irma Brooks. Your prediction was wrong or Westbrooks with them?

Or Dr Westbrooks as the Senior Administrator was the first, right and only choice in the first place, as she was last year at this time.

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."
