  • Presidential Search update

    The Presidential Search is in high gear. The search committee will soon be interviewing 12 candidates (from a diverse pool of over 90 applicants). These interviews were previously held at an airport; to reduce our carbon footprint, we decided to conduct them via Zoom. The goal is to narrow this group to as many 鈥渁cceptable鈥 candidates as possible, but no fewer than five semi-finalists.

    This is an ideal time to remind everyone that, unlike the Presidential search in 2011, this will not be an 鈥淥pen Search鈥 in which the identities of the semi-finalist candidates are released to the public. Some of you may recall the open forums held on campus at the time, which allowed the entire campus community to meet the top candidates for President in person.

    An 鈥淥pen Search鈥 can result in a smaller applicant pool because highly qualified candidates may be hesitant to apply if their current employer learns they are interested in another position. Proponents of a 鈥淐losed Search鈥 argue that it provides a candidate pool with the greatest depth and breadth, albeit with fewer campus voices weighing in.

    Seeking to balance these approaches, the 海角乱伦社区 Council sought, and SUNY Chancellor John King agreed to permit, a hybrid or 鈥淩epresentational Search鈥 approach for 海角乱伦社区. A Representational Search has the benefits of a fully 鈥淐losed Search鈥 in which the names of the semi-finalists will not be publicized to the community; it also has the benefits of an 鈥淥pen Search鈥 in which the voices of more constituencies, both on- and off-campus, can be heard, under strict rules of confidentiality.

    The SUNY Chancellor and the SUNY Board of Trustees have the sole discretion to decide whether to hold campus visits at 海角乱伦社区. While in many Representational Searches, the search committee represents the campus community in place of campus visits, we felt strongly that our semi-finalists should visit our beautiful campus and discreetly meet with other constituencies beyond the 海角乱伦社区 Council and search committee. The SUNY Chancellor agreed that senior officers, including vice presidents and deans; the Faculty Senate Executive Committee; student leaders, staff leaders and union representatives; alumni association and foundation officers; and community leaders should meet the semi-finalists.

    We will be securing confidentiality agreements from all members of these groups to protect the identity of the candidates. We are gratified that this 鈥渉ybrid鈥 approach was approved for 海角乱伦社区, as it balances our desire to expand the number of voices in the evaluation of candidates and protect candidates鈥 confidentiality. Stay tuned.

    Sincerely,
    Kathryn Grant Madigan, Esq. Presidential Search Committee Chair
    海角乱伦社区 Council Chair

  • Summer 2025 Pilot of New Course Evaluation System (CES) for Harpur and CCPA

    Dear faculty,

    We are pleased to announce that 海角乱伦社区 will pilot a new Course Evaluation System (CES) powered by Watermark during the Summer 2025 term. This initiative reflects our continued commitment to modernizing the student feedback process and enriching the evaluation experience for both students and instructors.

    The pilot will be limited to courses offered through the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Community and Public Affairs (CCPA). Faculty teaching in these colleges will be automatically included in the pilot and will receive email notifications from the CES platform with information regarding the courses involved and the corresponding evaluation timelines.

    Faculty in all other colleges and schools will continue to use the existing Student Opinion of Teaching (SOOT) system for their Summer 2025 courses.

    海角乱伦社区 is grateful for your partnership as we evaluate this new platform. The insights gained from this pilot will be instrumental in shaping the potential for future university-wide adoption.

    For questions or additional information, contact Nasrin Fatima, CES administrator, at nfatima@binghamton.edu.

    Warm regards,
    Donald E. Hall

  • Call for applications: Charles E. Scheidt Faculty Fellows in Atrocity Prevention

    The Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention (I-GMAP) is now accepting applications for the 2025-26 academic year for Charles E. Scheidt Faculty Fellows in Atrocity Prevention. Applications must be submitted no later than Aug. 1, 2025, and are open to faculty from any discipline. To apply or learn more about eligibility and requirements, click the link below.

    *海角乱伦社区 faculty members will also receive research funds of $2,500 upon completion of the program.*

    Every academic discipline has something to contribute to the protection of human rights and the prevention of large-scale, identity-based violence. The Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention (I-GMAP) has pioneered the Charles E. Scheidt Faculty Fellows in Atrocity Prevention program to engage faculty in a guided process of learning and exploration of the potential for their disciplines to contribute to atrocity prevention. Fellows learn from I-GMAP鈥檚 faculty, staff and practitioner visitors, and alongside faculty from a wide range of disciplines, both within their cohort and from previous cohorts. The program culminates with each faculty member modifying at least one of their own courses to integrate an atrocity prevention lens through innovative and engaged pedagogical approaches.

    The upcoming program runs from September 2025 through May 2026 (with a break during December and January), primarily in an online and asynchronous format, with synchronous meetings at the start and finish of the program.

    Faculty members can apply by using a simple form. If deans, chairs or colleagues would like to nominate a faculty member for the program, it is encouraged to share this call for applications with them directly or to contact I-GMAP鈥檚 Co-Director Kerry Whigham at kwhigham@binghamton.edu to share that faculty member鈥檚 information.

    For the first time, the faculty fellowship is open to college/university educators from any country around the world. Faculty members from any college or university and any discipline or professional field are eligible to become fellows. The Faculty Fellowship Program is currently only available in English, so fluency in English is a requirement of participation.

    Applications are open now and will be accepted until Aug. 1, 2025. Selected applicants will be notified by Aug. 30. If you have questions about the Faculty Fellows Program, contact Kerry Whigham at kwhigham@binghamton.edu.

    - have a healthy voice function
    - speak English as their first language

  • Weekly expert alert

    Welcome to the Office of Media and Public Relations weekly expert alert. This list is updated regularly as new topics are added and old ones are commissioned. The most important factors for success in your response are timeliness and being the right fit for the topic.

    New expert requests:

    1. Where do US carbon emissions come from? The Conversation is looking for an energy expert or climate scientist to explain in a short, straightforward article where U.S. carbon dioxide emissions come from today, and how and why that has changed over time. The desk will work with the scholar to create charts to help tell this story.

    2. Political protest: Given the 鈥楴o Kings鈥 protests planned across the country this weekend, as well as reports that ICE is planning to deploy tactical units to Democratic-led cities including Philadelphia in the near future, The Conversation is looking for scholars with interesting research or analysis to share around protests that can help inform an audience's understanding of current events. The desk is particularly interested in scholars/research/analysis based in one of these local cities 鈥 Philadelphia, Denver, Detroit or Miami 鈥 but welcome all related pitches.

    In case you missed it, the desk is still chasing:

    3. France, anti-Semitism and the Dreyfus affair: The Conversation is looking for a scholar of modern France to explore some of the current faultlines surrounding anti-Semitism in France. The hook for the article is the ongoing parliamentary move to posthumously promote Alfred Dreyfus (and possibly put him in the Pantheon) in a time where divisive domestic politics over Palestine-Israel have altered the terms of the debate about anti-Semitism. A scholar would ideally be fluent in touching on some of the history of the Dreyfus Affair, France鈥檚 historic relationship with Jews and how the modern anti-Semitism debate of today has moved past its Dreyfus Affair origins.

    4. U.S. interventionism and Haiti: In light of the new Trump ban that includes restrictions of travel from Haiti, The Conversation is looking for a scholar of modern Haitian/U.S. foreign policy in the region to take a look at modern Haitian politics in the shadow of U.S. interventionism. Approaches may very, but ideally a scholar would explore how intertwined U.S. and Haitian politics have been over the years, what Haiti looks like today, how the latest ban may affect the situation on the ground in Haiti and how the new policy is only the latest in 鈥 and potential consequence of 鈥 a long series of American policies to upend Haitian society.

    5. Government Accountability Office: The US Government Accountability Office, an agency that works for Congress, says it 鈥渆xamines how taxpayer dollars are spent and provides Congress and federal agencies with objective, non-partisan, fact-based information to help the government save money and work more efficiently.鈥 Recently, the GAO has waded into the question of whether President Donald Trump is violating the law when he withholds congressionally authorized funds. The Conversation would like a scholar to explain what the GAO is, why it was established and what it is doing right now.

    6. AI and education, research and experimentation: The Conversation will be publishing a series of articles over the next six to nine months on the topic of AI and education. The desk is seeking academics doing active research in this area with results from their studies, or academics who have lessons to share from their own experiences and experiments teaching with AI tools. Given that research on the impact of generative AI in education is relatively new, the desk is also interested in the key questions educators, parents and policymakers should be considering as generative AI technology spreads in learning environments. The desk is looking for research related to these themes across K-12 and higher education. The key themes to look at include:

    - Results from early tests of generative AI in learning environments
    - How AI is or can improve teachers鈥 jobs in grading, assessment, administration, etc.
    - Ethical considerations around AI in education
    - Tutoring with gen AI (personalized learning, etc.)
    - Future of learning 鈥 how gen AI affects how schools should prepare students
    - Ways student use of AI is affecting teaching styles, teacher workloads and teacher morale
