----Double minority and experience---guess they had to, but another insider moves up----that is good and also bad!!! great luck to her in growing our school!!! Oh and keeping them behaved and on graduation tracts!!!

It surprise me because she does not have a PHD, you usually can't get far in a university without a PHD anymore.

Another 'doctorate' in the works for 'educational leadership.'

This is a weekend, correspondence, and online degree plan which was originally intended for high school administrators and principals, but now is becoming more common at public and lower tiered universities. (Dr. Savoie has one from Columbia.)

My neighbor just completed her doctorate in 'educational leadership' while teaching 3rd grade ... she is ambitious and smart and a good option for her. (She made all A's.)

Administrators with the traditional researched based, full-time - PhD's are still dominated at the more elite academic institutions.

I think LSU's new President also has an 'educational doctorate.'

I guess there is a trend toward more business savy in leadership than scholarship, although I believe scholars can be good business people if surrounded by the right support staff.

It appeared that Danny was very much appreciated by the athletes as they always came up to him for a handshake or hug whenever I saw him at events. He was the dorm councilor when I lived in McCullough my freshmen year.
