A Purdue-educated engineer, Golding reorganized the administration and recruited qualified administrators from outside San Diego. He hired new faculty, especially in science and engineering, and strengthened the university鈥檚 research foundation. Golding also raised performance standards for faculty and put more emphasis on research scholarships and publications regarding promotion and tenure requirements.
