[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New President is magna cum laude grad of Brown and grad of Harvard Law looks like a great hire also former dean of Boston College Law School.[/quote]
Yes, but those are not the qualifications for an undergraduate college president. Just stating a fact; it’s incontrovertible unless — as I suspect is the case — you are completely ignorant as to how academia works. You can acknowledge that they bent the rules for him, because he obviously lavked the necessary qualifications, and still assert that he is doing a good job. It’s OK.[/quote]

Other SLACs have started to break from the model of a scholar/president. I know of at least one MBA president at a top 50 LAC. Shockingly, people have found that the skills required for great research and teaching don't necessarily overlap with the administrative and [b]fundraising skills [/b]needed for higher ed administration.[/quote]

Yep, plenty don't want to promote to admin level because they rather research even after decades of doing "just" research.[/quote]
