1.2 Dean’s Bio DAC Handbook 2019

Dean Richard D. White Jr. Biography

In 2014, Richard D. White Jr., became the eighth dean of the E. J. Ourso College of Business, after serving two years as interim dean. During White’s deanship, the college has continued to build upon its reputation as a world-class research institution that prepares exceptional students to become the business leaders and entrepreneurs of the future. Under White’s direction, existing programs continue to evolve and improve, while his new initiatives ensure the E. J. Ourso College of Business is positioned to serve students and the business community. Of White’s many successes, the college’s Stephenson Department of Entrepreneurship & Information Systems (SDEIS) welcomed the first class of the new Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship degree program, a paired-degree that can be combined with any of LSU’s undergraduate majors. The college’s Professional Sales Institute was named one of the top professional sales programs by the Sales Education Foundation in 2019. The undergraduate energy minor, available through the Department of Economics, gives students a competitive advantage when seeking work in the energy industry. The Master of Science in Analytics, offered through SDEIS in collaboration with the Department of Experimental Statistics and the Department of Marketing, prepares students to use data-driven methods to contribute to organizational effectiveness. The Department of Marketing now offers a marketing analytics concentration for its undergraduates. Through White, the college doubled its efforts to ensure student success with the establishment of the Office of Business Student Success. The office centralizes core support programs like academic counseling, career coaching, diversity and inclusion programs, and international study. Also under White, the Flores MBA launched a one-year MBA track, and in August of 2020, the Departments of Finance and Economics will launch a Master of Financial Economics. In 2017, White was awarded the Academic Partner Award, presented to faculty and staff who partner with the LSU Division of Student Affairs to improve the student experience. White will retire as dean of the E. J. Ourso College of Business in June 2020. A native of Williamsburg, Virginia, White received his PhD from Pennsylvania State University, MBA from Purdue University, and BA from Old Dominion College. He was a Research Fellow at Harvard University, where he taught a public policy seminar within Harvard’s Institute of Politics. White is a Pulitzer-nominated political biographer and author of Kingfish: The Reign of Huey P. Long; Roosevelt the Reformer: Theodore Roosevelt as Civil Service Commissioner, 1889-1895; and Will Rogers: A Political Life. White has published dozens of scholarly articles in prominent journals. Since arriving at LSU in 1998, he has taught courses in ethics, public administration theory, human resources management, and state and local government administration. Before his academic career, White was a senior officer in the U.S. Coast Guard. He served ten years at sea, including voyages to both the Antarctic and Arctic Oceans, and commanded an icebreaker, as well as a large cutter performing drug interdiction operations in South American waters. He served in the White House, the U.S. State Department, and the Central Intelligence Agency. In his final assignment in the Coast Guard, White directed the enforcement of narcotics, immigration, fisheries, and environmental laws on the Atlantic Ocean. White retired from the Coast Guard at the rank of Captain (O-6).

1.3 DAC History DAC Handbook 2019

DAC History Lee Griffin was the first chairman of the preceding organization to the current Dean’s Advisory Council, a group created under the leadership of Dean James Henry. Henry asked Griffin to recruit 20 people to start the group with the objective of raising $10 million in five to 10 years. The group raised $13 million within that time frame. “Once during this period, LSU had a budget problem, and it looked like the dean would be unable to give summer grants to his faculty. So, I asked all 20 people on the council to sign a note for $10,000 each to give the faculty some encouragement that if LSU was unable to pay their summer salaries/grants, that the money would be there. Thankfully, we did not have to use personal notes. If we had, maybe I would not be alive today,” said Griffin. Under Dean Thomas Clark Jr., the council reorganized into an Executive Board and Partners for Excellence Board that met annually. The meeting was more of an information-sharing event where the dean and college faculty would give updates to the board about the status of the college. In 2003, Dean Robert Sumichrast asked Bill Slaughter to advise and assist him in the formation of a single new group — one whose members would be actively engaged and give of their time, talents, and resources. After a strategic planning session, the decision was made to have the staff and faculty of the college play a more active role. Under Sumichrast and Slaughter’s leadership, the new group established the Statement of Principles and Bylaws, which included the creation of standing committees aligned with the strategic plan for the college – Executive Education, Public Relations, Business Partnerships, and Development.

The committees were led by a DAC member and had a faculty/staff member(s) within the college responsible for that subject area. Also, the dean appointed to the DAC the directors of development, alumni relations, and the institute leaders. Slaughter served as the first president for four years. He was succeeded by Carol Calkins [2006-2008], Richard Matheny [2008-2010], Peggy Scott [2010-2012], Maurice Coleman [2012-2014], Jerry Jolly [2014-2016], Bill Balhoff [2016-2018], and the current president is James Harp [2019-2020]. Past presidents continue to serve on the Executive Committee at the invitation of the dean. The Dean’s Advisory Council was reconfigured, under the direction of Dean Eli Jones [August 2010], to align with the five-year strategic plan [2010 to 2015], following strategic planning meetings with the DAC, faculty, and staff. The committees were reorganized to – Endowment, Globalization, LSU Business Building Oversight Committee (LBBOC), Marketing & Public Relations, and Recruitment & Placement.

1.3 DAC History DAC Handbook 2019

During the 2010-2012 term, the Statement of Principles and Bylaws were reviewed, and proposed changes were presented and approved at the full DAC meeting on October 12, 2012. The Dean’s Advisory Council was again reconfigured, under the direction of Dean Richard White Jr. [2012], to merge the LBBOC and Endowment Committee, which was renamed the Development Committee. The restructuring resulted in the following committees – Development, Globalization, Marketing & Public Relations, and Recruitment & Placement. In keeping with the strategic plan and mission of the college, in August 2013, an additional committee was formed to support the entrepreneurial and economic development initiative of the college. The new committee was named the Entrepreneurship & Economic Development Committee. Additionally, the Recruitment & Placement Committee was renamed the Recruitment, Retention, and Placement Committee. The Marketing & Public Relations committee was discontinued. In August 2014, the Globalization Committee was renamed the Energy Committee, and the Recruitment, Retention, and Placement Committee was changed to the Corporate Partnerships Committee to align the committees with the college’s new strategic plan. The restructuring resulted in the following committees - Corporate Partnerships, Energy, Entrepreneurship & Economic Development, and Development. During the 2017-2018 term, proposed edits to the Statement of Principles and Bylaws were presented and approved at the full DAC meeting on October 13, 2017. Additionally, in the spring of 2018, the committee structure was streamlined into two committees to meet the needs of the Office of Business Student Success and the Fierce for the Future campaign, resulting in the current committees – Career Connections and Development. A regional leadership structure was implemented under each committee to aid in driving engagement in each of the college’s key regions. In the fall of 2019 Dean Richard White Jr. announced his intention to retire at the end of the 2019-2020 academic year. LSU will hold a national search for a new dean of the E. J. Ourso College of Business.

The purpose of the Development Committee is to cultivate an enduring culture of philanthropy that will sustain and strengthen LSU and the E. J. Ourso College of Business. In order to contribute to an environment that encourages philanthropy, DAC has a responsibility to help shape the college’s overall fundraising direction and activities. With support from staff, the Development Committee members will:

• Set fundraising goals and priorities: Ensure alignment of fundraising goals with the strategic direction of the college and university. To engender credibility from stakeholders, the college’s multiyear priorities and annual fundraising goals must clearly line up with the strategic plan laid out by the dean and institutional leaders.

• Monitor fundraising performance of the college and the DAC: Understand and evaluate the cost of fundraising and alumni relations efforts – and the return on investment.

• Advocate for support: Make a financial contribution to the college at a level of personal significance. Facilitate and encourage DAC members’ engagement in fundraising efforts. Leverage personal and business networks to cultivate peer-to-peer relationships with potential supporters.

2.4 Dean’s Role DAC Handbook 2019

Dean’s Role

The Academic Dean - Typical Characteristics of Academic Deans,

Career Path to the Academic Deanship from StateUniversity.com

Academic deans are typically the highest ranking academic officials in an institution, next only to the president or chancellor and the provost or chief academic officer. Academic deans preside over colleges, schools, or divisions comprised of a cluster of disciplines or disciplinary specialties, such as arts and sciences, engineering, fine arts, business, natural sciences, education, and health sciences. Most academic deans are situated in the institutional hierarchy as reporting to vice presidents or provosts; however, some hold the dual title of dean and vice president, a situation that is often an artifact of institution size and type. Smaller liberal arts institutions and community colleges, where numbers of faculty are fewer, may have a dean of faculty or academic dean who has jurisdiction over faculty in all disciplines. Deans' roles frequently vary according to academic field, institution type, and institutional context. In institutions marked by higher levels of disciplinary specialization, such as research and doctoral institutions, the number of academic deans is larger so as to accommodate the unique leadership demands of the diverse disciplinary programs housed in the institution. Drawn from the senior faculty ranks, academic deans are seen by many as serving a dual role, that of scholar and administrator, particularly in institutions that place high value on research and publication in assessing faculty performance. Terms of appointment are

2.4 Dean’s Role DAC Handbook 2019

typically in the range of five to seven years, and while appointments may be extended, very few serve more than ten years in a deanship position. This is no doubt due to the demands inherent in the role and the associated stress characteristic of the management environment. Deans answer to a variety of constituents, including faculty, the central campus administration, students, and alumni, and in order to be effective must be capable of understanding and serving their often disparate interests and conflicting goals. Deans serve both academic and administrative purposes in that they are responsible for hiring department chairs and providing management oversight to bureaucratic processes within the unit. Depending on unit size, deans often have some number of associate and assistant deans to whom they delegate responsibilities associated with administrative functions related to finances, facilities, personnel, and management of academic or curricular programs. The position's uniqueness lies in its routine contact with a broad range of institutional constituents–the president or chancellor, the chief academic affairs officer, the faculty, students, external stakeholders such as donors and corporate supporters, and in some cases the boards that provide institutional or unit oversight. The unique position occupied by academic deans places them at the forefront of institutional change. Decision-making responsibilities of academic deans typically encompass the following areas: (a) educational program/curriculum; (b) faculty selection, promotion, and development; (c) student affairs; (d) finance; (e) physical facilities development; and (f) public and alumni relations. Given the comprehensiveness of responsibility, it is not uncommon for the role of academic deans in larger, more complex institutions to resemble that of a chief executive officer of a moderately sized business enterprise. Resources under their control are often into the tens, sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars in large research institutions. With diminishing state support of higher education and increased operational costs, the need to identify new sources of revenue has increased considerably, and the work of garnering such support has become a primary function of academic deans in most institutional settings. Responsibilities associated with fundraising, the increasingly complex financial environment presented by issues of student access and equity, and increasing numbers of part-time faculty has made the role of the academic dean far more complex than it has been in the past.

4.3 Donor Bill of Rights DAC Handbook 2019

LSU Foundation Donor Bill of Rights

Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To ensure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the non-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights: I. To be informed of the organization’s mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes. II. To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization’s governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities. III. To have access to the organization’s most recent financial statements. IV. To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given. V. To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition. VI. To be assured that information about their donations is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law. VII. To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature. VIII. To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors. IX. To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share. X. To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.

4.4 Development Support Fee DAC Handbook 2019

LSU Foundation Development Support Fee

The Development Support Fee is a 5 percent fee on all gifts made on or after July 1, 2013. The fee is split between the LSU Foundation, which retains 3 percent of the gift for its development efforts, and the beneficiary, which retains 2 percent of the gift for its dean- or director-level development fund. If the gift is to an endowed account, the fee will be drawn, over a period of one or more fiscal years, from future spending allocations for that account. The dollar amount collected will not exceed 50 percent of the spending allocation for a given year. The Development Support Fee provides working capital to fund immediate needs and/or special projects of the college(s) and/or unit(s) that each donor supports, and it assists the LSU Foundation in raising private dollars for scholarships, faculty support, facilities, and similar initiatives. To learn more about the Development Support Fee, visit: www.lsufoundation.org
