Letter of Rec From Fedrick Ingram

My union leadership roles included advocacy for professors and staff in higher
education. The indisputable, vital, and essential role of higher education requires
that the position of university or college president only be held by very special
individuals. These administrative leaders must be loyal to the key principles of
academia, including shared governance, teaching and learning, academic freedom,
tenure rights, cutting edge research, as well as a superior pedagogical skill. Richard
also brings key relationships that will bode well for the university’s policy agenda,
funding needs, fundraising, and expansion of the “Seminole Success”.
I know that Commissioner Corcoran has pledged to continue a high level of respect
and excellence at Florida State University. I respectfully ask the search committee,
the faculty, and student body leadership to consider my experience with Richard as
you endeavor on this important task.
