      a
      new
      position
      at
      the
      univer-
     
     
      sity
      this
      semester.
      The
      person
      hired
     
     
      for
      this
      post
      is
      Professor
      John
     
     
      Crossley.
     
    

    
     
      Crossley
      is
      a
      Political
      Studies
     
     
      professor.
      He
      got
      his
      Bachelor
      at
     
     
      Brock
      University,
      and
      his
      Masters
     
     
      and
      Doctorate
      from
      the
      University
     
     
      of
      Toronto.
      As
      far
      as
      administrative
     
     
      experience,
      Crossley
      has
      been
      chair
     
     
      of
      the
      Political
      Studies
      and
      Canadian
     
     
      Studies
      departments,
      organized
      the
     
     
      Learned
      Conference,
      and
      was
      acting
     
     
      Dean
      of
      Arts
      last
      year.
     
    

    
     
      Crossley
      says
      it
      is
      ‘‘really
     
     
      exciting’’
      being
      the
      first
      vice-presi-
     
     
      dent
      at
      UPEI.
      He
      thinks
      that
      being
     
     
      new
      to,
      and
      creating
      the
      position
      of
     
     
      VP
      is
      challenging.
      He
      has
      the
     
     
      opportunity
      to
      become
      an
      integral
     
     
      part
      of
      the
      restructuring
      processes
      at
     
     
      UPEI.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Crossley,
      as
      vice-president,
     
     
      has
      many
      duties.
      His
      principle
     
     
      function
      is
      to
      implement
      the
      Strate-
     
     
      gic
      Plan.
      Some
      components
      are
      in
     
     
      practice
      now.
      There
      are
      ten
      areas
     
     
      under
      this
      plan
      and
      he
      has
      to
      help
     
     
      monitor
      and
      facilitate
      change.
      In
     
     
      order
      to
      fill
      this
      role,
      Crossley
      has
      to
     
     
      sit
      on
      various
      committees
      that
      are
      all
     
     
      relevant
      to
      the
      Strategic
      Plan.
      Asa
     
     
      result
      of
      his
      facilitator
      role,
      Crossley
     
     
      finds
      himself
      talking
      to
      a
      number
      of
     
     
      different
      people.
      He
      also
      has
      to
     
     
      make
      the
      academic
      plan
      and
      restruc-
     
     
      turing
      fit
      budgetary
      constraints.
     
     
      Crossley
      laughs
      ‘‘What
      do
      I
      do?
      I
     
     
      sit
      around
      and
      do
      everything
      or
     
     
      nothing,
      I
      am
      not
      too
      sure
      yet’’.
     
    

    
     
      As
      far
      as
      goals,
      Crossley
      has
     
     
      several.
      In
      the
      short
      term,
      he
      wants
     
     
      to
      get
      the
      campus
      talking
      about
     
     
      change
      and
      the
      process
      of
      change.
     
     
      The
      Strategic
      Plan
      is
      the
      first
      step
      in

      Crossley
      wants
      to
      see
      this
      inter-
     
     
      action
      continue.
      Communication
      is
     
     
      the
      key
      to
      achieving
      this
      goal,
     
     
      specifically
      dealing
      with
      what
     
     
      people
      want.
     
    

    
     
      The
      long
      term
      goals
      depend
      on
     
     
      the
      university’s
      sense
      of
      what
      it
     
     
      wants
      to
      be,
      a
      sense
      that
      Crossley
     
     
      admits
      is
      emerging.
      Crossley
      sees
     
     
      this
      sense
      including
      ‘‘new
      things
      in
     
     
      the
      area
      of
      education,
      research,
      new
     
     
      ways
      of
      connecting
      with
      the
      com-
     
     
      munity
      at
      large
      and
      new
      ways
      of
     
     
      making
      students
      part
      of
      the
      univer-
     
     
      sity.’”
      The
      long
      run
      depends
      on
      the
     
     
      university
      itself.
      Crossley
      is
      con-
     
     
      vinced
      that
      ‘‘if
      you
      take
      some
      of
      the
     
     
      common
      measures,
      this
      university
     
     
      should
      be
      well
      into
      the
      top

      of
      the
     
     
      Maclean’s

      even
      though
     
     
      that
      is
      not
      the
      target’’.
      Crossley
     
    
   
   
    
     
      believes
      that
      there
      are
      plenty
      of
     
     
      good
      ideas

      UPEI
      to

      an
      innovative

      Crossley
      wants
      people
      to

      that
