Budig outstanding president West Virginia colleagues say

If nominations for administrative sainthood were taken tomorrow, Gene Budd would be at the top of the list, according to West Virginia University administrators, faculty and students.
Budig, KU's new chancellor, is president at West Virginia, where fellow administrators describe him by using the words "exceptional."
"He is outstanding in terms of being able to delegate authority," Ray Haas, vice president of administration, said. "He also has the amazing ability to grasp what kind of style a particular situation demands, that may sound like a man for all seasons, but he knows when to act."
HAAS, ALSO A professor of administration, said Budig was an outstanding administrator because he was both a student and practitioner of the discipline. He said that his education in administration field by teaching courses in higher education administration.
"As long as I have known him, he is one of the few presidents or chancellors in the country who
teaches classes," George Taylor, vice president of student affairs, said.
Taylor characterized Budig as being particularly active in minority faculty, student and administrator recruitment.
"When he appointed me, I was the first black vice president in the history of West Virginia University," Taylor said. "I will think you are the most courageous individuals in that regard in higher education today."
During Budig's tenure at West Virginia, black student enrollment has increased 30 percent, Taylor added.
FACULTY SALARIES also have risen, Robert Swartout, faculty chairman, said.
"West Virginia University is a member of the Southern Regional Education Board." Swartout said. "When he took over, our faculty became more involved in the SREB faculty salary list. Now we are approaching parity."
Swartout, also faculty representative to WVU's budget committee, said that salaries still were not ideal, but that was because the state had then constraints imposed by the state legislature and Board of Regents.
Faculty relations is another of Budig's strong points, Swartout said.
"He makes it a practice to meet with the faculty of each department of the university," he said. "In the first year, he met every faculty member."
WITH STUDENTS, Budig maintains an open-door policy, Taylor said.
Rick Ridgeway, editor of the school's student newspaper, the Athemenum, affirmed Budig's quest for student opinions.
"He even goes to freshman orientation," Ridgeway said. "And that was a precedent here. Budig is one of my classmates. And I don't mean that as a slam."
Budig also has made gains for students at the state level, according to Bill Cambell, student body vice president.
"Through his efforts and the Regents, we are allowed additional input at the state legislative level," Cambell said. "In my viewpoint, the students have never been given by him to the legislature."
Budig, who was appointed chancellor by the Kansas Board of Regents last Friday, will take office Aug. 1.

"My wife and I had made a decision in 1977 that if we could get a high school coaching job in a university town where he lived, I would look at," Frederick said last year.
Frederick, 41, said he was glad to get back into college athletics. This will be his first administrative position.
"The big push for contributions is normally in May and June with meetings at various places around the state," he said.
According to Marcum, the athletic department received about 60 applications for the position Frederick of seven candidates interviewed.
"He's here in Lawrence," Marcum said. "That's an advantage since he can come down and look things over before he actually takes over."
Lawrence High has released Frederick from his contract, effective April.
