One of my friends referred to the UL Presidential search as the most under the table out in the open process he's ever seen. I would have to agree.

Sally Clausen is a huge bimbo. She has the same qualifications for the "missionary" position as she does for the Head of the UL system. She is bound and determined to make sure all schools in the UL system are on an even keel.

I wonder if it will take as long for them to find a new President as it did to find a new AD.
We had an AD for the last couple of years. He is the same guy we have now, and he is very good.

I agree that he is good, but my gripe was that the University dragged the process out and didn't let us know what was going on.Quote:

If the committee decides there aren’t enough to make a short list for interviews, UL System President Sally Clausen has said that it’s possible that the deadline for applications may be extended.
UL President Ray Authement announced his retirement in April.
Of the 21, at least seven have also applied for the position of chancellor at LSU at Alexandria, as of last week. LSUA has 36 applicants on their list as of last week.
Prior to the recent additions, the only other Lafayette connection among the applicants was Demetrios Kazakos, who was a former faculty member. Kazakos is now dean of science and technology at Texas Southern University.
Here’s a little more information about the new applicants. Their full résumés and letters of application are available for viewing on the University of Louisiana System Web site at www.ulsystem.net.

Alcocer is an idiot. He was one of the worst instructors in the Petroleum Department in the mid '80s
With the way this sucky open search is going Dr. A just might be able to hand pick his successor.Quote:
