8 Semifinalists for next UCF President
- Thread starter Poolside Knight
- Start date
Should be DW. He rarely misses
using a search firm, could be just for show though. I would think Whittaker is the favorite
- Venu Govindaraju, Ph.D., vice president for research and economic development, University of Buffalo
The search firm doesn’t do the hiring. Just finds the candidates. BOT do the interviews?
Probably, but MOST of the other dudes in the sausage party are like 200 percent.
Would a transgender Eskimo satiate your diversity reqs
Why are you bringing race into this. What difference does it make if he or she is white? That was a very racist and offensive comment. I don't care what race or sex we choose. I just want the best candidate. Period.
Nowadays you have to at least interview diverse people for positions like this. Call it the real life Rooney rule
Those aren't my requirements. I was just commenting on the current political climate. But yes, if he/she had a PHD and a polar bear friend that was taken to meetings with the P5 to intimidate them ibto letting us in, it would work.
Yea I know I’m messing with you. Maybe not a polar bear, but man eating penguins instead
The "Peter Principle" would say that is probably a bad idea. I have no idea what the VP's resume looks like, but unless he has been the president of an educational institution of some sort in the past, I doubt you want him running the second largest university in the nation.
Wilson and Kennedy both have experience running a university, not just a department. Kennedy has the political experience to help UCF in Tallahassee and Wilson worked in Orlando when he first got out of law school. The other guys are engineers. It will be interesting.

Hiring an electrical engineer, like UF did, to run a university seems like an odd decision
Firm_Bizzle??? Perfect choice!!!Perfect Candidate:
Go with the dude from Oklahoma. That plus Heupel's sister married to Boren's son should get us some votes for the Big XII.
Hiring Fuchs was certainly a gamble. And the jury is still out on him. It is very early in his tenure. Time will tell if he knows what he is doing. He hasn't made any huge mistakes, but he hasn't made any great strides either. So far he is just continuing what Machen started.
So 1/2 of Oklahoma's vote against the rest of the Big 12? Well at least it's 1/2 a vote more than we had before.
No to Mark Kennedy- and any other politicians- just would rather someone in the university environment and not some useless ex-politician like mentioned above. Was really afraid someone was taking the Orlando mayor seriously as a candidate.
Bring in Matthew Wilson and see an emphasis in UCF's Law program. What the hell.
I'm just hoping for someone who will emphasize the education and yet be open to the sports side and DW, and not some boob who fails to see that side of things.

Yup. And add Ok St's vote who is OU's patsy and we have the start of something.
Last time I saw Hitt he said we have no shot at a law school with two already in Orlando

Agreed. Doesn't matter to me. White, black, yellow, male, female.....have them all interview behind a curtain and pick the best one based on credentials, past performance, and leadership.
I do want a Pres that sees the need for sports. UM President Shalala was terrible.
I want a president who sees a need for research and growing the endowment
Because to be honest Football (by far the biggest college sport) won’t exist in its current format in 30 years
