[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Faculty would complain about ANY candidate.  You can please all the people none of the time.

New president did a great job at Darden.  Great fundraiser, apolitical, brought great energy, and increased Darden's position in national rankings.  So he didn't earn a Ph.D. by dissecting the allegory in Chaucer's early poems?  [/quote]

If he's the best person for the job, then why are you so afraid of him going through the usual vetting process? [/quote]

Not afraid at all.  But he already has the job.  No need to relitigate the case just to appease a segment of faculty who won't be happy until Jim Ryan returns.  He was an outstanding choice for UVA President.  [/quote]

Okay. Why couldn’t he have gone through a search that wasn’t rushed through before a new gov was installed? [/quote]

Not everyone even would agree that the search actually was "rushed".  Those who don't like him will say it was to justify their dislike of the president. Others say it was not rushed to justify their like of the president. Either way, a national search did occur.

Any UVa President serves at the pleasure of the Rector & Board. They can fire the current President if they wish and have sufficient votes among that set of people. [/quote]
