Talk:Dennis H. Holtschneider

Want to revise bio; COI
Hello. I work at DePaul. The subject of this bio is our current president. He is stepping down in June. He will become COO of Ascension Health. With your permission, I would like to add this sentence to the end of the opening paragraph.

On June 30, 2017, he will step down as president of DePaul. On July 1, 2017, he will become executive vice president andchief operating officer of Ascension. He will step down from the Ascension board on that date.

Could a neutral editor please make this addition or give me permission to proceed?

Want to revise format of bio and update background info; COI
Hello. I’m a Wikipedia donor and thought I would start the new year contributing in yet another way, since I am a communication professional. I will start with my employer. I work at DePaul University and therefore have a conflict of interest in making changes directly to the bio page for our president, Dennis H. Holtschneider. I’m requesting the help of a neutral editor to consider my suggestions below. I will only make the changes myself if a neutral editor gives me permission to do so. I’m happy to discuss my suggestions and provide further references, if you wish.

I would like to modify the format of his page to be more consistent with the presidents of other prominent Catholic universities in the United States, such as these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_I._Jenkins University of Notre Dame https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Ann_Rooney Loyola University Chicago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_J._DeGioia Georgetown University

Concurrently, I would revise his bio with updated information, such as his chairmanship of the nation’s largest Catholic and non-profit health system and service on other important boards, as well as noteworthy awards and publications, etc. I was judicious in what I proposed, including mostly recent content, but if you prefer comprehensiveness, I can offer that. Note that I grouped existing content about issues that occurred on campus during his presidency under a section I named “Campus Issues,” but these types of issues do not appear in the comparison entries. I leave it to the neutral editor to determine their inclusion or not. Revised Entry Suggestion:

Dennis Henry Holtschneider[1] (born January 14, 1962) is the president of DePaul University in Chicago, United States. He was chosen by the Board of Trustees as the university's president in spring 2004 and took office in July 2004.[2] Since 2014, he has chaired the board of Ascension, the nation’s largest Catholic and non-profit health system. He joined this board in 2009 and served as its vice chair and as chair of the audit and model community committees and as a member of the governance task force and finance committee. Early Life: A native of Detroit, Michigan, he is a 1985 graduate of Niagara University with a bachelor's degree in Mathematics.[2] He is a member of the Congregation of the Mission, an order of Catholic priests founded by St. Vincent de Paul and commonly referred to as Vincentians. He received a doctorate in Higher Education Administration from Harvard University in 1997.[2] Career: Prior to joining DePaul, Holtschneider served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Niagara University from 2000 to 2004.[5] He taught and served in several academic administrative roles at St. John's University between 1996 and 1999. Holtschneider was the Director/Rector of Vincentian College Seminary in Ozone Park, New York from 1989 to 1992. Since 2008, he has been a faculty member in the Harvard Graduate School of Education, teaching seminars and institutes on strategy, governance and management development, among others. He also taught summer institutes on strategic planning at the Villanova University Center for the Study of Church Management from 2006-2010. Governance: Holtschneider has served in leadership roles on several national advocacy boards for higher education. He joined the American Council on Education’s Board of Directors in 2013, was a trustee for the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities in 2012-13, and was a trustee for the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities from 2009 to 2015, including serving as chair of that board from 2010-2012. He spent five years as a member of the school board for Chicago Catholic Schools (2009-14) and nine years as a trustee of the Chicago Historical Society/Chicago History Museum (2007-2016). Honors and Affiliations: Holtschneider holds seven honorary degrees, the most recent of which was awarded in December 2016 from Soka University in Tokyo. In 2015, he received the American Council on Education’s Council of Fellows Mentor Award, recognizing his guidance in preparing the next generation of academic leaders in higher education. In 2012, he was noted as one of Diversity MBA Magazine’s Top 100 under 50 Diverse Executive Leaders, and in 2011 he was honored by the Archdiocese of Chicago with its “Strangers No Longer Award” for his leadership on comprehensive immigration reform. Publications: Holtschneider has written extensively on higher education strategy and governance. Trusteeship Magazine published his article, “Strategic Capacity: Strengthening University Boards to Govern Strategy” in its November/December 2016 issue. His chapter on “Raising Academic Quality: A Playbook,” appeared in Strategies for University Management in 2016. His chapter “Strategy” appeared in the 2015-2016 Presidential Perspectives Higher Education Thought Leadership Series Innovative Concepts to Achieve Campus Transformation. Campus Issues: In 2016 he likened Black Lives Matter protesters who disrupted a speaking event to D-Day troops[10] and said the authorized speaker Milo Yiannopoulos was unworthy of speaking there.[11] On June 16, 2016 he announced he would step down as president despite previously planning to remain until 2019. In recent letters to the campus, he apologized for poorly handling race relations which had become worse around Yiannopoulos' speaking event.[12] In 2010, Holtschneider came under fire due to the denial of tenure to six minority professors at DePaul.[9] Despite the fact that all white candidates for tenure during that year were approved, Holtschneider consistently denied that race placed any role during the tenure process. In fall of 2010, 19 percent of DePaul's full-time faculty members were minorities.[9] In 2007, Holtschneider affirmed a 4–3 vote by DePaul University's Board on Promotion and Tenure (a faculty board) denying tenure to controversial political scientist Norman Finkelstein.[6] Holtschneider was criticized by individuals and external organizations, including the DePaul Academic Freedom Committee[7] and the American Association of University Professors, for not overturning the faculty board's decision. Finkelstein and the university subsequently negotiated an agreement that included placing Finkelstein on administrative leave for the 2007–2008 academic year, the remainder of his contract with DePaul.[8] ````

Proposed revision
I propose to make the following revision to this page. Do any other editors have concerns?

Current

Holtschneider has been widely criticized by for denying the very popular DePaul professor Norman Finkelstein tenure and then putting him on academic leave rather than letting him teach his final year as is the academic norm (http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=&ie=UTF-8&ncl=1120006322).

My proposed revision

In 2007, Holtschneider affirmed a 4-3 vote by DePaul University's Board on Promotion and Tenure (a faculty board) denying tenure to controversial political scientist Norman Finkelstein. Holtschneider was criticized by individuals and external organizations, including the DePaul Academic Freedom Committee and the American Association of University Professors for not overturning the faculty board’s decision. Finkelstein and the university subsequently negotiated an agreement that included placing Finkelstein on administrative leave for the 2007-2008 academic year, the remainder of his contract with DePaul. 

See.

Proposed addition of fact
I propose to add the following fact.

In fall of 2010, 19.5 percent of DePaul's full-time faculty members were people of color.

Your edit request could not be reviewed for 2 reasons:
 * 1) The request was not formatted correctly
 * 2) The request contains a minimal amount of text which is insufficiently paraphrased from the source material.

 Issue 1: Formatting 
 * Reference anchors were not placed along with the citations listed in the edit request proposal (i.e., ). As a result, citation ref tags were not auto-generated within the text indicating which portions of the text the source is referencing.

 Issue 2: Paraphrasing 
 * The proposed text ought to be written using an editor's own words and phrasing, per WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE.

In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two which identify the issues in formatting. The first example shows how the formatting of the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be formatted in the future.

Incorrect
 * The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles.
 * The Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.
 * The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.

In the example above there are three citations provided with the claim statements, but these citations do not contain reference anchors. Using anchors will activate the ref tags which are needed within the text. Using the correct positioning of the reference anchors in the WikiFormatted text (shown below in ) would resemble the following:

Correct

Which displays as:
 * The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.


 * The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.[3]

In the example above the reference anchors have been included. As a result, ref tags are displayed in the exact location where the text which they reference resides. The tags link to the source located in the lower References section. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly rewrite your edit request so that these issues are addressed, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. Regards,  Spintendo   22:15, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
