Hiring a chief executive is supposed to be a transparent process, not a back-room deal. There is a such a thing as public oversight and accountability.<BR/><BR/>That said, way back on May 9 when the President met with the Exec Committee of Arts and Sciences Council, in expressing his displeasure over the no confidence vote in the former A&S Dean, the President said he was a believer in impartial objective, external review process. Therefore he ordered a review of the College that subsequently turned into the Round Table discussions. Certainly the President will be anxious to apply his own high standards to his own administration, therefore he should contract with an external consulting firm to review his Presidency at UT.<BR/><BR/>As a gesture of faith in the school and in light of the the news of financial exigencies that the President has shared with us recently, the President should also donate his considerable salary increase/signing bonus (whatever it was termed) back to the students in the form of scholarships. This would be a princely act.Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760054565503531972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044792945653054348.post-64642993718507615002008-12-16T14:11:00.000-08:002008-12-16T14:11:00.000-08:00The very end of your comment, I think, reveals an ...The very end of your comment, I think, reveals an unfortunate truth about the situation (not just here, not just in this instance): " ... those of us at the margins: the students, faculty and staff"--who are really the core of any institution of learning.yo, duh!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04379171973281926037noreply@blogger.com
