May 10, 2005 - Hastings College president selected for Ralph S. Brown Award
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hastings, Neb., May 10, 2005 -- Hastings College president Dr. Phillip Dudley has been selected to receive the prestigious Ralph S. Brown Award for Shared Governance, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) national award presented in recognition of outstanding contributions to shared governance on a college campus. The award will be presented at the national AAUP conference in Washington, D.C., June 11.
The Hastings College chapter of AAUP and the college’s Faculty Senate nominated Dudley for the award based on his work in creating an environment of trust, collegiality and mutual respect.
In letters of nomination, Dudley was commended for actively supporting a campus governance structure that includes faculty at all levels of decision making; for leading a strategic planning process that brought together faculty, trustees, students, and staff in meaningful dialogue about the future of the college; and for sharing important information with the campus community. As one letter stated, "Our president is open with information, flexible in decision making, supportive of faculty input, respectful of Faculty Senate decisions, and visionary in planning and leading the college…We are not aware of any college or university that has a stronger system of shared governance than Hastings College. Much of the credit goes to President Phil Dudley."
Dudley was inaugurated in 2000 as the 14th president of Hastings College. He served the college in several capacities for the past 32 years. He was professor of economics, assistant to the president, and then vice president of the college.
A native of Cheney, Kan., Dudley completed an undergraduate degree in mathematics and business/economics at Southwestern College, Winfield, Kan. He earned a master’s degree in economics, with an emphasis is public finance and economic theory at Wichita State University, Wichita, Kan. He completed a doctorate in economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Dudley’s community involvement includes the United Way Board of Directors, Mary Lanning Health Care Foundation Board of Directors, Hastings Area Education Consortium, Hastings Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors, and the Nebraska Educational Television Council for Higher Education Board of Directors.
The Ralph S. Brown Award was instituted in 1998 and "reserves the distinction for those occasions when some accomplishment in the area of shared governance is identified as so outstanding as to merit being singled out," according to the AAUP's website. The last award was presented in 2002. Brown served as AAUP president and general counsel, and headed many AAUP committees during his 44 years of service to the Association.
Criteria for the award includes: demonstration of the candidate's strong commitment to shared governance; ability of the candidate to work with multiple constituencies; capability to bring about effective change; and capacity to communicate to multiple constituencies about the importance of shared governance.
