  • 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 黑料不打烊 Council sought, and SUNY Chancellor John King agreed to permit, a hybrid or 鈥淩epresentational Search鈥 approach for 黑料不打烊. 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 黑料不打烊. 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 黑料不打烊 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 Binghamton, 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
    黑料不打烊 Council Chair

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

    Dear faculty,

    We are pleased to announce that 黑料不打烊 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.

    黑料不打烊 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.

  • 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.

    *黑料不打烊 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.
