|
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on August 22, 2013 The Board of Trustees of The City University of New York announces a global search to recruit a new chancellor with a record as an outstanding leader, manager and scholar within a major higher education system or other complex organization. The university provides high-quality, accessible education for more than 270,000 degree-credit students and 226,000 adult, continuing and professional education students at 24 campuses across New York City. There are more than 7,300 full-time faculty and more than 11,500 adjunct faculty at CUNY. The chancellor serves as the chief executive officer of the university and reports to the Board of Trustees. College presidents and deans of the university’s professional schools report directly to the chancellor. CUNY is an integrated system of senior and community colleges, graduate and professional schools, research centers, institutes and consortia. It provides New York City with graduates trained for high-demand positions in the sciences, technology, mathematics, teaching, nursing and other fields. The university has strengthened its mission as a major research institution, building an array of modern facilities and expanding the ranks of its world-class faculty. Today CUNY enjoys a rising reputation, record enrollments, increased standards and enhanced resources. CUNY is seeking a chancellor who will maintain the momentum of the university-wide renewal that has occurred over the past decade and a half. She or he will be responsible for fulfilling the stipulations of New York State Education Law that “the university will continue to maintain and expand its commitment to academic excellence and to the provision of equal access and opportunity for students, faculty and staff from all ethnic and racial groups and from both sexes.” Among the tasks for the new chancellor will be to continue to strengthen the quality and diversity of the institution through the hiring and retention of full-time faculty; to promote increased student success, including improved retention and graduation rates and post-graduate outcomes; to exercise excellent judgment in the hiring of college presidents and other senior university officials; to advance the needs of the university in a complex political environment; to meet the challenge of incorporating change in the delivery of academic content; to enhance the university’s doctoral programs; and to be open to adopting best practices from other sectors of higher education, including partnerships, where appropriate. The next chancellor must have a proven record as an entrepreneur and fund-raiser. Members of the university community and the public are welcome to submit nominations. The review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Submission of applications is encouraged by October 25, 2013.
