Reorganization could cut deans’ jobs Two Fayetteville State University deans, including one who oversees the nursing program, could lose their positions under a reorganization plan. The plan calls for two separate schools — the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Basic and Applied Science — to be shifted to the College of Arts and Science by January. The decision to move the schools into one college, which was made by interim Chancellor Vic Hackley, undoes a decision by former Chancellor T.J. Bryan to separate them. News of the pending merger reached the faculty in September, when University Provost Dr. Juliette Bell told an FSU Faculty Senate Committee that the restructuring was being done because of FSU’s small size.

"James, who had until recently been a candidate for the presidency of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, could not be reached for comment. University officials did not respond to questions about the matter. "

Geez, he spends $0.42 or whatever to mail in a resume and suddenly he adds "candidate for the presidency" of UL to his resume as if he was a serious contender. Maybe I should have mailed mine in as well so I could bring that up at parties. Makes a hell of a pick up line "Hi. Did I mention that I was recently a candidate for the presidency of UL?" MAn I hope MIT or Harvard has a presidential vacancy soon!

UL's moving closer to the transition that will affect the entire community as interviews for the president's position are set to begin next week. For those candidates who have never visited the campus, a 60-plus page guide was released by the system last week that points out the university's strengths, as well as its weaknesses. It also draws 36 recommendations that the next president may want to consider when moving into Martin Hall. Because the review includes interviews from across the campus and the community, it can have a major influence on how a new president approaches his or her transition. "It's an up-to-date assessment from various constituents that gives you a good grounding going into that position as far as pros, cons and challenges," said Randy Moffett, who became president at Southeastern Louisiana University in 2001.

Karen White was called "an ace of a candidate" by the University of Louisiana system president. Karen White, regional chancellor at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, has emerged as a top candidate for the presidency of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, school officials confirmed Wednesday. White, 56, was among 38 candidates who applied to lead the 16,000-student university. She is one of five finalists who will be interviewed for the job next week. "When the search firm representing the system contacted me, I was not seeking an outside position," White said in a written statement. "I allowed a nomination to move forward because of my long-term associations with the state and its universities." University of Louisiana system president Sally Clausen said she has been courting White since the early phase of the search in spring. She said she became interested in White when a faculty member at Southeastern Louisiana University, where both Clausen and White have worked, recommended her. "I think I have an ace of a candidate here," Clausen said. "A lot will depend on if she likes the environment and if we can convince her to relocate." A member of the Southeastern Universities Research Association, UL Lafayette offers 80 undergraduate degree programs and 29 master's degree programs. The Carnegie Foundation has designated the school as a research university with high research activity, putting it among the ranks of Clemson, Auburn and Baylor universities.
