Tuskegee University presidential search 2 months remain. Last min. hire?

[Brother Tony]

 
FRAUD!

[NovaSkegee]

The fact is the deadline for submitting applications for the position will be June 30, 2009 and today is July 15, 2009 and Tuskegee University has no public website created in a timely manner for alumni or applicant usage.

You'd expect such in a developing nation not in the United States in 2009 in the same year that an African American is the President of the United States.

Surprised to see that this topic has already expanded to 3 pages and counting.

Surprised to see that this topic has already expanded to 3 pages and counting.

In 2006 when Dr. Larry Eugene Rivers, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Florida A&M University was named president of Fort Valley State University by the Board of Regents and University System of Georgia Chancellor Erroll B. Davis Jr.  Fort Valley State University made their search very public.

In April of 2005 the Board of Regents Chair Joel O. Wooten and University System of Georgia Chancellor Thomas C. Meredith announced the appointment of 2 committees that would be charged with assisting in the selection of a new president for Fort Valley State University.

The search process commenced with the Presidential Search and Advisory Committee, that comprised of members of the FVSU campus community, alumni and foundation representatives.

Dr. Julius Scipio, dean of the College of Arts, Science and Education, served as chair of the Presidential Search and Advisory Committee.

Additional faculty members selected to serve included:

Dr. Carol Ann Johnson, interim associate dean for Extension, College of Agriculture

Dr. Dan T. Black, professor, Department of Biology, College of Arts, Sciences and Education and a member of the FVSU Faculty Senate

Dr. Govind Kannan, associate professor and coordinator of animal science undergraduate and graduate programs, College of Graduate Studies

Mr. Terrence Wolfork, chair of the FVSU Staff Council, represented the institution's staff.

Ms. Constance Collier, incoming president of the FVSU Student Government Association, represented the student body.

State Representative Calvin Smyre, Fort Valley State University Foundation Chairman represented the FVSU foundation. He earned his B.S. degree in Business Administration from Ft. Valley State University .

Dr. Lawrence Marable, president of the university's National Alumni Association, represented the university's alumni.

FVS is a state supported institution of higher learning.  There are aspects of a presidential search of any of the Univ System of GA's 34 member schools that are made public at pre-determined intervals.  The process was the same when Dr. Kofi Lomotey was selected as FVS's President.

What are you missing from page 1 of this topic? Private universities make it public too.

The examples shown of the private ones are:

Rice University- private research university

Northwestern University-   non-sectarian private research university

Case Western Reserve University-  private research university

Cornell University-  one of two private land-grant universities, the other being MIT University.

Swarthmore College-  private, independent, liberal arts college

Howard University-   private research university

University of Chicago-    private research university

Vanderbilt University-   private research university

Samford University-   private Baptist-affiliated university

Baylor University-  private, Baptist-affiliated research university

Duke University-  private research university

Harvard University- private research university

Massachusetts Institute of Technology-   one of two private land-grant universities, the other being Cornell University.

Valparaiso University-  private and largest independent Lutheran university

Gonzaga University- private Catholic Jesuit university

Nova,

TU has listed the names of all of the members of the search committee.


They include members of the BOT, and none members who includes representatives of the Faculty (including the head of the Faculty Senate), Students (SGA president), and Alumni (TU National Alumni Association President).  These names are listed on the TU site.

They have listed general criteria being looked at for the applicants, and have listed the deadline for submission of applicants.  No they haven't listed dates for committee meetings, and other detailed criteria, but I'm not sure that's necessary.

What exactly would you plan to do with that information?  To what purpose do you want to see such detail?

[NovaSkegee]

I've listed 36 American universities where it is a standard to make it public and accesible the process of the selection process for their college presidents and chancellors search in a timely manner via a special website/webpage. Of the 36 I've posted 15 universities are private.

Tuskegee University is not following the standard in the United States.

You didn't answer my question (maybe you were posting at the same time as I)

From the TU website announceing Dr. Payton's retirement:

The Board of Trustees has formed a Presidential Search Committee (PSC) that is chaired by Dr. Andrew F. Brimmer, who also serves as Chair of the Board.  Other trustees who serve as members of the search committee include:  Dr. Bernard Anderson, First Vice Chair of the Board and Chair of the Educational Policies Committee; Mr. Stephen E. Canter, Second Vice Chair of the Board and Chair of the Finance Committee; Mr. Howard G. Paster, Chair of the Development Committee.  The following trustees also serve on the PSC:  Dr. Willene Johnson, Mr. Solomon Banks, Jr. '64, Mr. Raamel Mitchell '03, Ms. Sheron Rose '83, and Mr. Felker W. Ward '53.  Non-trustee members of the PSC are:  Mr. Kwesi Daniels, Chair, the Faculty Senate; Mrs. Darlene Adams, Chair, the Staff Senate; Mr. Erick Harris, President, the Student Government Association (08-09), Miss Dunnie Onasanya, SGA President-elect (09-10); Dr. Loretta Burns, Professor and Head, the Department of English; Dr. Gregory Pritchett, Professor and Head, the Department of Chemistry; and Ms. Kimberly Woodard, President, the Tuskegee University National Alumni Association.

That's representation from Faculty, Staff, Students, and Alumni.

Again, to what purpose do you want to see detailed information (i.e. Committee meeting dates, detailed applicant criteria, detailed search timelines)?  Just so you know?

[NovaSkegee]

Again, the pupose of this topic is  the deadline for submitting applications for the position will be June 30, 2009 and today is July 15, 2009 and Tuskegee University has no public website created in a timely manner for alumni or applicant usage.

You'd expect such in a developing nation not in the United States in 2009 in the same year that an African American is the President of the United States.

That's an ad. It has nothing to do with the topic. The topic is the process is not shown in a public format for alumni on the university's website in a timely manner as is standard at American universities and colleges.


Some alumni will allow the university to stuck where it currently is and operated like a plantation.

Golden Kitten: The ad that you posted states the following:

Additional Information Posted on Tuskegee University's Web Site
Tuskegee University’s Web Site (www.tuskegee.edu)

Now .....tell me where is this information as this is April 15, 2009?

hummm, where is this information shown at the link provided in the ad?

The ad also states: Tuskegee enrolls more than 3000 students

This is a lie. The enrollment has been under 3,000 for the last few years and it's currently 2,900 now.

First:

The last time I checked my calendar, today was APRIL 15, 2009, not JULY.

Second:

You seem to have a flawed concept of exactly what a STANDARD is:

A Standard is NOT "Hey 30 + other schools have done it this way so that is the standard for how it should be done."  There are THOUSANDS of Colleges and Universities in America.  30 + schoolls don't set the standard for Thousands.

A standard is a process that is set by a standardization body that is excepted by all of the membership.  In this case a standard for presidential searches for Colleges and Universities may be set by national accreditation bodies for colleges and univerisities.  Do you know of such a standard that has been set in this case?  I believe it could probably be concluded there is no Standard in this instance. 

Third:

You still haven't answered my question?  Why do you want to have all of this detailed information.  To what purpose do you want it.  For general information purposes?  To be able to say, "hey other schools did it this way and so are we"?  Do you really have a good answer to the question?
