Dear Colleagues,

I reached out to the chair of the Board of Trustees Eric Krasnoff with our first faculty profile on Friday and asked him to distribute it to members of the board. He agreed to do so and responded very favorably to the prospect of regular bi-weekly faculty profiles. In addition, they would like to make use of the material for the purposes of recruitment, PR, the website and university development. In his response, Chairman Krasnoff expressed interest in exploring (I quote): “ways to increase interactions between the board and faculty that engender greater understanding of the professionalism of faculty and create enthusiasm for the overall mission of the university.” I’ll be meeting with him in a few weeks to discuss these matters. Please pass along suggestions.

I’ve attached the first profile here. Can you  pass this along to faculty in your areas with a request that they construct their own profiles and pass them along to me or construct one for yourself? I have a shell and will take care of the formatting. All I need is a statement on scholarship, teaching and thoughts and concerns about the future of the university. Please include a photo as well. Our strategy is to frame our concerns positively within the context of our scholarship and teaching.

I’d like to underscore that this positive result is a consequence of taking a path of constructive engagement. When I sent the profile, I hadn’t even considered that these profiles could be used for recruitment and PR purposes. I’ve heard many of us lament the absence of a means to promote our scholarship, teaching and academic commitments for the purposes of recruitment, PR, etc.. By reaching out in this way, we’ve created an opportunity for collaboration that will address another problem, and we now have an established mechanism for communicating regularly with the Board of Trustees.

Please pass along to me your profiles. If you’re a communications officer, please pass this along to your constituents. Thanks!

Best wishes,

John
