Interestingly, the CU faculty had to submit their condemnation of Mark Kennedy to Mark Kennedy for approval.CU faculty condemn Kennedy’s ‘trail of tears’ comment

“I’m Mark Kennedy and I approve this condemnation”
Don’t take this as a sign of support for Kennedy, but I didn’t read anything in that article that made me believe he deserved to be censured.
Yeah - news flash - the faculty has a bug up it’s collective ass when it comes to Mark Kennedy. I’m not a big fan of his, but this is just a grandstanding move that really does nothing to help whatever cause they’re trying to support.
As long as we are on the subject, though: he was hired because he’s supposedly a wunderkind with fundraising. How has the fundraising gone since he got here?

Meh. I'm gonna say the simple fact that he couldn't prevent this means he's really bad at his job.
Will be really interesting to see if the BoR keeps Kennedy when his contract is up. I happen to think that the Dems having control of the BoR for the first time in 40 years will drive them to want to have 'their' stamp made on the position for the first time in a long time.

If you could get the following as CU President, would you do it:
Experience as provost at a major Univeristy
Ties to the area
Experience at multiple levels of government
Fundraising experience & well connected nationally.
Fortune 500 corporate board member
Minority.
Obviously I’m referring to a specific person. On the surface, would this person be a good candidate?

Depends on the individual person... As we've seen people can fail upwards to extraordinary heights
Merggg
Bingo.
I seriously doubt she’d be interested in the job, but I would love to see BCS trying to tell us about how she failed up.
I think a charismatic PhD would be better. The business model President has a place but CU has had this for a long time. I would like to see CU drive back toward education and research.
Doesn't that fit Rice?
i thought so too.
I wasn't talking about her per se... I was talking about someone like... well... pretty much the entire previous Presidential Administration and a large swath of politicians in general...
A lady I used to work with:
+ Got saved from a territory where she was going to be no more than 50% of plan with a lateral move
+ promoted to manager following a year where she missed plan
+ promoted to VP after a year in which she missed plan
+ lateral move to VP of Productivity or some nonsense after missing plan as a VP
She could have easily been fired 4 different times during that stretch
Oh Hell. I worked with a guy who failed up his entire career. People like that piss me off to no end. I just got a chuckle at the idea that Condoleezza Rice had somehow failed up.
Anymore, I think a University President is more politician than academic. You leave the academic stuff up to the chancellors and provosts. The President needs to be the guy out in front of the cameras, shaking hands and being the public face of the University system. I think Kennedy has failed in that regard as well.

I thot he was talking about Ward Churchill.
Same. Same.
If only Dave Logan wasn't white.
Good point - just look at Joe Biden.
You can’t help yourself
