Texas A&M President Katherine Banks resigns amid fallout from failed hiring of journalism professor
“The recent challenges regarding Dr. McElroy have made it clear to me that I must retire immediately,” Banks wrote in her resignation letter. “The negative press is a distraction from the wonderful work being done here.”

Too soon old, too late smart
Thump, thanks for these tidbits. Saw the Stanford one, and now aTm's 'hiring failure' shows that no matter how small the problem, there will be repercussions. Funny thing, I'll bet you vcash that Banks cleared her actions before implementation with the Board (if she had any political sense at all). And when the decision turned out to be a cropper, Board looked down at her and she took the blame. The Stanford one, well, if he passed on review/valadation of research, which turned out to be false, then Stanford is too prestigious an institution to allow that kind of publicity to besmearch it's name. Keep 'em coming.

If they had not both signed agreements not to talk bad about each other I think there could have been some interesting stories coming from Johnson leaving OSU. You don't have both the former president and the entire board of trustees sign something that says they can n ot bad mouth the other unless some shit went down.

Wrong glass, Sir.
I can take an educated guess.
Board of Trustees: She was an ogre to her staff
Johnson: Les Wexner and his wife run that university--not you--and if you don't follow his orders, the Board will oust you in embarrassing fashion.
There's truth to both, though if it wasn't for Wexner's meddling, her personnel mismanagement would have--given her overall performance--almost certainly ended with her being quietly reprimanded and given some kind of workplace coach. That is provided that she wasn't sexually or racially harassing staff. As for Johnson's would be statement, I think that's self-evident in that we can't fill the fucking job. I mean how hard should it be to attract a top-tier talent to a school that did 1.38B in research last year, has a 7.3B endowment and the 10th highest median SAT score among public universities.

Seems fairly lackluster on the surface. I’m sure @ORD_Buckeye can give us the rundown.I'm sure this will get a separate thread, but I'm too lazy. Also, as an alum I'm not too excited about this hire. Not that they asked my opinion.Walter “Ted” Carter Jr. appointed by Board of Trustees as 17th president of The Ohio State University

My opinion too. There's no doubt that more than a couple top tier candidates were unwilling to step into the mess that Wexner created in ousting Johnson. To me the biggest glaring weakness that I see is that he has absolutely zero experience in a high position at an AAU university. That's not good. OTOH, a retired admiral might be just what's needed to control Wexner and his wife. The military angle might also be a good deflection if the maga element in the Ohio legislature attempts to go Florida or Texas on Ohio State.
From the outside, the best way to judge an Ohio State President is on a few key numbers: the endowment and annual fundraising total, the research total, the number of national academy members on faculty and the average SAT/ACT score of the freshman classes. Let's see how he does.
Oh, and sorry Jeff Snook. Crapped out again.

Mediocre resume at best to run an AAU university. If I'm looking for someone to run an aircraft carrier, he'd be great. Those two skill sets are not the same.Time will tell if he's up to the job.
