Leadership in Florida

Dr. Herbert served as Regents Professor at the University of North Florida and founding executive director of the influential Florida Center for Public Policy and Leadership. He served as president of the university from 1989-1998. From 1998 to 2000, Herbert was the sixth chancellor of the State University System of Florida, the second-largest university system in America. Although Herbert's tenure in this position was highly received, outsiders argued that Florida's higher education is top heavy and does not value faculty governance. His later critics would argue this became apparent during his leadership of Indiana University.

In 1998, Governor-Elect Jeb Bush named Adam Herbert to lead his transition team. That same year John Lombardi, then the president of the University of Florida, infamously referred to Herbert as an "Oreo" who was black on the outside and white on the inside. Herbert was then criticized by some for failing to fight to save the Board of Regents when Gov. Jeb Bush and Republican lawmakers dismantled the board in 2000 after it refused to approve a medical school at Florida State University.

Leadership at Indiana University

The ceremonial Jewel and Chain of Office is bestowed on Dr. Adam Herbert. The Jewel has been worn by eight IU presidents.

Upon assuming leadership of Indiana University, one of Herbert's biggest initiatives focused on "mission differentiation" for IU's eight campuses, which includes making the flagship Bloomington campus choosier among freshman applicants. Under the proposal Indiana University Bloomington would educate the professionals, executives and researchers while the regional campuses would educate the state's remaining labor force. Advocates believe it will rejuvenate Indiana's economy while critics argue it betrays the university's mission of educating more of Indiana's populace.

Herbert's risky plan was further complicated by his failure to timely fill top administrative posts. After removing Chancellor Sharon Brehm from office, a move that was generally well received, Herbert has left the spot unfilled for nearly two years. When faculty members of a search committee submitted finalists to fill the spot he disregarded the recommendation and began the search anew. The compounding problems prompted an uproar among faculty members. [3]

Herbert's lack of visibility has been a continuing source of conflict. Although he is often away visiting alumni chapters and major donors, many are dismayed by Herbert's frequent absence from Bloomington. Faculty also complain that he is slow in answering email and returning calls. Moreover, his ongoing obligation as director of two out-of-state companies has required some time away from IU responsibilities. Indiana University Bloomington is the principal campus of the Indiana University system. ...

In spite of his perceived missteps, Herbert's supporters point to a number of improvements. The mean SAT score for IU's 2005 incoming freshman class is 1147, an improvement over last year and 140 points above the state average. The university is also making progress in its quest to become one of the nation's top cancer centers. Plans are in place for a new cancer hospital in Indianapolis, and IU has managed to attract a number of world-class faculty members to join its already-impressive staff.
