[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah sounds mismanaged.

I have some concerns about 5Cs. Lots of head changes afoot. Interim or new heads at Pomona and Pitzer, and a new head yet to be identified at CMC.

Harvey Mudd seems solid at least.[/quote]
CMC is going through a natural transition: Hiram has been at the helm for over a decade. Eventually you do leave, and he has a very strong record before CMC that he's building off of, while also basically building the entirety of modern CMC. [b]The next president will do great.[/b]

Pomona has no interim currently. Gabi left for a year, because she was extremely unpopular for arresting students and causing distress. President Gaines had actually been an admin before and led the college well. Now Gabi is back after a research sabbatical, and is accelerating her campaign (with rumors she will eventually step down as professor of neuroscience and english).

Pitzer has not had an interim in a while and has held perfectly steady since Strom Thacker (PO '88) took over 2 years ago. Harvey Mudd actually had a president change just this last year.

The only 5c with an excessive history of switching out high admin is Scripps: [url]https://scrippsvoice.com/suzanne-keen-whered-she-go/[/url][/quote]

How exactly do you know the next president will do "great"? They have not yet even identified a sucessor. Lots can go wrong in the wrong hands.

Sorry I mixed up Pitzer with Scripps.

Pomona leadership has been problematic I agree.[/quote]
