Had 4 prez, 3 searches, at my large R1 and we never considered anyone internal (excl brief interim). Each one started with a new strategic plan with little tie to our mission or strengths, and each has brought non-local SVPs to ignore faculty. Result: Avg prez tenure is < avg time to graduation.

this is just rank cowardice, the student very obviously disregarded the instructions and the assignment to antagonize her peers and instructors and provoke this exact reaction, society simply can’t function when the people in charge scurry like kicked dogs every time some troll bully says boo

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, plop a fish on a lecturn and you feed him for a lifetime

Congrats, man, that was a fuckton of determination.

I saw your cheney-mash post this morning and I thought 'wow, incredible what trail brain can accomplish' and now I know that it was just Rusty brain.

People don’t grasp that Trump is actually a poster. He’s the only president like this so far, it’s fascinating

Sometimes he just says shit because it will make a good post, he doesn’t mean it. Sometimes it still filters down into policy because he decides he believes it after it gets a lot of likes

he's almost nailed the "colonel lockjaw" look. keep at it, buddy! that hair could be shittier!

yes

love to scream-squeal 'no no no no' into a mic that suddenly has a ton of reverb, for my fans

If you can't see that the movement is more important than you, you're unworthy of leading. Do the honorable thing: get out and support someone who shares your goals.

This is a myopic take. Her constituents have been without a representative for seven months (ask me how I know), and she can't hire, rent and open offices in her large district, or do any of the constituent service work she should be doing until she's sworn.
