Olmsted was fired after protesting the firing of the last Black faculty member and the fact that African American student enrollment had dropped under 8 percent. (See Black Issues, June 11)

The usual requirements of a tenured faculty are essential, that is: scholarship and research, service, and teaching. Beyond the scholarly expectations, you must begin to acquire administrative experience in higher education as a way of demonstrating organizational leadership. The leadership position will provide opportunities for others beyond your department to see and appreciate your abilities. I would suggest that you also take some courses in higher education administration to provide a historical context, a theoretical framework, and an overview of the role of dean.
