[BryceC]

Apparently they are down to 4. Any rumors on who they are? Who do we want?

[Cyclonepride]

I'd like to announce that I am not a candidate for this position.

 

[ArgentCy]

Hmm.. they passed on myself as well, what gives?

 

[ZB4CY]

All 4 want to bring baseball back, I heard.

 

[CycloneErik]

I have not applied, nor have I heard anything positive or negative about my potential candidacy.
Living in this limbo is getting harder and harder to deal with.

no interviews please

 

[Judoka]

I have no information which would indicate that I've been ruled out.

Students will sleep a little easier tonight

 

[CyJeans]

Is it too late to throw my hat into the ring? My only qualification is that I don't know how to fly a plane.

I really like Gwendolyn Boyd: http://www.al.com/news/montgomery/index.ssf/2016/12/fired_alabama_state_president.html

She was fired, but was a pioneer during her time there. They didn't like that she did progressive things.

Christopher Howard is also a young, progressive guy who has been steadily moving up:

Press conference scheduled?

I think the people deserve an explanation.

Yeah, hard pass on the first one.

Channel your inner William Tecumseh Sherman and draft the statement. Eisenhower and Johnson did, you can to!

 

[NewClone09]

[Cyfan1965]

Who have the board of "Rejects" met with that will tell you. Anyone sold a house lately that's your person.

I'm all in on the second guy.

 

[NWICY]

Christopher Howard has a pretty impressive resume.

I would assume fundraising is high on the skill set for this job.

 

[jsb]

I'd like someone with more academic expirence than the guy at Iowa.

What I like about him especially is that he has had a lot of personal success (Rhodes scholar, war vet with honors, graduated from Oxford, award-winning football star) that can inspire everyone from the high-achieving students to the high-achieving athletes. He is young enough that he can relate on a personal level, and I think that would help bring in new money to the university.
