[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious what names are being floated as a successor.  I’ve heard Cucinelli but he is a politician, not an educator.  Are there other names?[/quote]

I don’t think him not being an educator would be an impediment. [/quote]

So you’d support a CEO that had never worked for a corporation if your stocks depended on it?[/quote]

Running a large university is similar to being a CEO.  Many academics do, unfortunately, not have that type of experience.  Mitch Daniels was not an academic before he became president of Purdue.[/quote]

Yet most successful college presidents had a career in higher education before becoming a college president. Kind of like most successful principals were first teachers and those that were not are normally resented by teachers.[/quote]

The significant majority of them are academics.  But the entirety of academe has issues with controlling cost.  Academis are ill equipped or inclined to deal with that.[/quote]

For profit colleges are shit, so I’m not sure that what you’re implying is a good thing. [/quote]

Controlling cost.  Nothing to do with for profit.[/quote]

More RWNJ drivel from you. You want to “control cost” for everyone unless it benefits you and your kids. In other words, more cuts for the poors, but not for Chad and Zoe![/quote]
