Does not seem to be making the impact required to pass  #1, and no evidence of passing the other criteria either. One edited volume, one book, and a bunch of papers, none of which appears to be particularly highly cited, adds up to an academic record that does not appear to be one of any great prominence. As Hairhorn and Xxanthippe aptly describe, chairing a department is also not unusual and explicitly not part of the  criteria
