As a member of the President‟s Cabinet and a senior leader in the Division of Academic and Student Affairs, I work collaboratively with colleagues in UW System Administration in addressing faculty and academic staff concerns;

Emerging Opportunities and Challenges I work closely with the Senior Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs in identifying and assessing opportunities and challenges relating to academic planning and the competitiveness of the UW System. Recently these have included: (1) the implementation of the United States Department of Education Program Integrity Rules; (2) developing guidelines to make textbooks more affordable for students; (3) developing a framework for three-year baccalaureate degree tracks; (3) enhancing the system‟s nonmedical leave of absence for faculty to allow for engagement in economic development activities; and (4) assessing the entire UW System undergraduate degree program array for viability in light of the state wide budgetary challenges.

Selected Accomplishments as Associate Vice President

Worked with system-wide provosts, deans, faculty, staff, to review and revise policies, guidelines, and practices (established more than 20 years ago) pertaining to new degree program approval and all other matters relating to academic program planning and review. The revisions received the approval of the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents, and is now resulting into a more efficient process for establishing new degree programs. The roles of the central administration and those of the universities in the system in the approval of degree programs and the management of the program array were redefined as a result of this undertaking. The new policies and procedures became effective on September 4, 2012.

Worked with universities in the system (since 2008) in gaining the authorization by the Board of Regents for the establishment of more than 100 baccalaureate, master‟s, and doctoral degree programs.

Led the working group charged with developing the framework and obtaining buy-in from all University of Wisconsin (UW) institutions for establishing the University Wisconsin System E-campus. The overall goal of the University Wisconsin System E-campus is to increase access for nontraditional and place bound students to degree and certificate programs offered online by all UW institutions. See http://www.ecampus.wisconsin.edu/ .

http://www.ecampus.wisconsin.edu/


Page 6 of 29

Worked with system-wide provosts in developing and offering a leadership development program for department chairs across the system.

Developed guidelines that were adopted by the Regents for the establishment of professional doctorates at any of the 11 UW comprehensive universities. Prior to that, doctorial degree offerings, including professional and clinical doctorates, were restricted to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, or were offered only in collaboration with either of these two doctorial institutions by any of the other 11 comprehensive universities within the University of Wisconsin System. As a result of this effort, the 11 comprehensive universities in the University of Wisconsin System can now offer professional and clinical doctorates independently if certain specified requirements are met.

Led a group of provosts and faculty representatives in a review of the entire baccalaureate program array for the UW System with the goal of assessing the viability and productivity of each program. Negotiated this politically charged task with great diplomacy leading to the following important outcomes:

a) Establishment of system-wide guidelines for addressing low-degree-producing programs;

b) Establishment of system-wide guidelines for suspending and eliminating programs; and

c) Suspending programs experiencing low demand.

Worked with interested campuses in developing a framework for establishing three-year baccalaureate degree tracks within the UW System.

In response to ongoing concerns of the Board of Regents, worked with provost and faculty representatives to develop a system-wide policy for addressing the rising cost textbooks.

2. Acting Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs

This included administration and management, program development, the hiring and evaluation of faculty and senior level administrative staff, and the planning of strategic and productive partnerships with public and private partners that resulted in extramural support for research activities. I was responsible for creating a culture of change in response to emerging and critical issues. Accomplishments included the following:


Page 7 of 29

Envisioned the establishment of the Center of Agricultural Biotechnology and Bio-security at Tennessee State University. Developed plans and obtained approval from Tennessee State University and the United States Department of Agriculture and secured more than $1.5 million towards this effort prior to my departure. The Center opened in the Spring of 2014;

Provided leadership for about 64 full-time equivalent faculty and staff in fulfilling the mission of IAgER;

Played a highly significant leadership role in securing $4 million in recurring appropriation from the state of Tennessee for fund agricultural research and extension activities at Tennessee State University. This was the first time the state made such funding available to the university;

Planned and managed an annual funding of about $8 million;

Provided oversight for a complex of research laboratories and support facilities (64,900 sq. ft.), farmland (464 acres) and research equipment (valued over $6 million) supporting a broad range of fundamental and applied research in two separate locations – at Tennessee State University‟s main campus in Nashville and at the state-of-the-art Otis Floyd Nursery Research Center in McMinnville, Tennessee);

Recruited highly qualified scientists/faculty for IAgER thus increasing it competitiveness among other Land Grant Universities in securing extramural funds to undertake research and out research in very important areas in the food and agricultural sciences;

Developed an objective and effective evaluation instrument to assess faculty productivity and merit performance;

Provided leadership that made IAgER to become one of the top three research centers at Tennessee State University in terms of productivity and overall management;

4. Director/Research Director, Cooperative Agricultural Research Program (CARP) Tennessee State University, Nashville, Tennessee 1998 - 2003 Scope of Responsibilities and Selected Accomplishments As Director/Research Director of the Cooperative Agricultural Research Program, I had the overall responsibility of administering agricultural research at Tennessee State University. This responsibility included oversight for budgeting, hiring staff, and setting the research agenda. Accomplishments included the following:

Provided overall and successful leadership for faculty and staff;

Increased funding from about $2.3 million in 1998 to $5 million in 2003;

Established the Research Faculty track at Tennessee State University (in 2002). This was the first time such a track was established in any department, school, or college at the university. Prior to my arrival at Tennessee State University, research scientists were considered staff and there was no mechanism to promote researchers to higher ranks. A research scientist was hired either as an Associate Investigator or a Principal Investigator. Associate Investigators could not be promoted to the higher Principal Investigator title unless through the occurrence of a vacancy at the Principal Investigator level. In such cases, the Associate Investigator would be required to apply for the vacant position and compete with other applicants for the position. Also, at the time (2002), the salaries for all researchers holding terminal degrees ranged from $36,000 to $55,000, with a majority making less than $45,000 a year (twelve months). This situation was a major impediment to attracting and retaining highly productive scientists. Thus, we expended considerable efforts to demonstrate to the administration of Tennessee State University and the Tennessee Board of Regents that the establishment of a Research Faculty track at Tennessee State University would be in the long term interest of the University. It was demonstrated that such a designation would benefit not only agriculture, but also have a significant impact on research across the entire campus. The proposal was approved in 2002, and for the first time in the history of Tennessee State University, the research faculty ranks of Research Assistant Professor, Research Associate Professor, and Research Professor were established. Concurrently, the salaries were improved significantly for all research faculty;

Established standards for advancing research faculty to higher ranks;

Increased the number of persons with terminal degrees in the program;

Acquired the latest technologies to enable cutting-edge research in food safety, agricultural biotechnology, and water quality;

Established the first intensive meat goat research program in the State of Tennessee to support the growing meat goat sector of Tennessee;

Established the first Geospatial Information System (GIS) laboratory in agriculture at TSU for training faculty and staff;

Diversified the funding portfolio for agricultural research at TSU.
