Should Sasse’s Résumé Have Raised Red Flags?

John Pelissero, director, government ethics, quoted by Inside Higher Ed.

There was a lack of transparency regarding the hiring of UF's former president, Ben Sasse. There is importance in communication during the vetting and selection of leaders in higher education.

“If you’ve had a variety of roles in higher education, as a member of a Board of Trustees or, obviously, serving in some faculty or leadership post at a university, you should be inclusive of all of that. If you’re going to include that in your résumé, even if you downplay it or just make a simple mention of the fact that you also served on a Board of Trustees of the university, it shouldn’t be incomplete, in a selective way that is designed to make you look better.”

John Pelissero, director, government ethics, quoted by Inside Higher Ed.
