UL Presidential Selection Process

[srevere51]

Ever think that the board had debated on the applicants before that 2 hour session.

The thing that sucks for UL is that no matter what they do, someone is going to call the advertiser and _____ and moan about something

You got that right.

UL = Catch 22 U.

_ Did you not see this coming? This was a farce from the beginning. The "open" process Ms Tisdale refers to is/was c.rap.

Looks like "we U.L.L'd ourselves", once again. _

Not this time. This time we were Sally'd.

It's a case of damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

How so? I'm no fan of Sally, and T Joe or Landry may do a fine job (both seem to be well thought of and respected) but the process has all appearances of being rigged from the beginning and the 2 leading candidates were the ones rumored to be Dr. A's choices before the process started.

T-nom it all started with the open application process. Not begrudging your fine school, but ya'll weren't subject to an open application process last time you chose a president. We shouldn't have been forced to either. Sally C refused to be questioned about the process.
This thing may very well have been rigged. Maybe Dr A and Sally C. should both be thrown under a bus?

Maybe we just forgot how to go about getting a new president. I mean it has been 30 years since we last chose a new president.

Call me Oliver Stone, but I think it started before that-the Open Process was part of or because of the fix-they never intended to have a credible "search". Look-I gather Savoie and Landy are good guys so I don't mean this as a criticism of them-but I also think UL-if it wd have had a real "search" [closed like LSU did] that a good candidate w/national credentials could have been found. I think UL is an excellent university w/plenty of upside and that other candidates wd have seen that. I wd tend to agree on the 2 people (if not more) that need to be thrown under the bus on this ...

I personally don't know if they are good guys are not, T. I have been told by folks that I respect that they are top notch. I think we both believe the same things with regards to this farcical process..... Its business as usual @ good ole U.L.L. what a pis.ser.
