Faculty Senate Honors Academic Leaders

Biles and Brown with award

Political science chair Robert Biles, far left, and College of Education dean Genevieve Brown, far right, were selected by the Faculty Senate as the first recipients of their Academic Leadership Awards Thursday afternoon. With Biles and Brown are Kandi Tayebi, outgoing Faculty Senate chair and associate professor of English, and university president James F. Gaertner.
Tayebi said of Biles, "He has created a cohesive department that is steeped in tradition and yet open to new ideas...His academic leadership has led to a new master's program in public administration. Of Brown, Tayebi said, "(She) was able to turn around the college that was demoralized and recreate a burgeoning gifted faculty who strive to produce the most qualified public school educators...By recognizing the achievements of her faculty and students, actively pursuing input from her faculty on important decisions, and finding ways to build on each member's strengths, she has developed a dynamic college..." Among other business, the Faculty Senate retired outgoing senators and accepted new ones.
