She has no clear vision on for this campus other than opportunity growth opportunities. Decisions are not being made in a timely fashion. Many current projects will have long-term implications for UMSL, UM, and region. There is little to be gained by projecting into the future. Change and growth are challenging.
Communication needs to be open.
Despite of the faculty criticism, which has been supported in the main by the Cofer report, the Chancellor has not made any effort in consulting the faculty in any serious way. Autocrat Blanche has a real vision for the campus. Dr. Touhill is an effective administrator free of vindictiveness and pettiness demonstrated by some unprofessional faculty. The Chancellor's vision, leadership, and external funding have taken UMSL out of the dark ages into 21 st Century. She has done more for the campus than any Chancellor in my 26 years of service.
