New Bradley President

Tomorrow's PJ Star will have a story about the candidates for the job of President of BU, and who is going to be brought in to be interviewed.

Ray LaHood is NOT one of the candidates.

:-o

OMG

Wonder if there is also gonna be some BU bashing in the PJ Star for that one.
 
I don't think Mr. LaHood ever campaigned for the job, but I do think he would be qualified. The President of a University is not a political job, so anyone who wouldn't support the school because the new President wasn't a member of his party would be wrong.

I am just curious.... Let's throw out the political affiliation entirely. While I do feel he has been a good congressman, how does that translate into the academic setting? What makes you feel "he (Congressman LaHood) would be qualified?" What activities, skills, and achievements lead you to feel he would be a successful university president?
 
Actually, I am surprised the PJS did not name or describe the candidates....they sure didn't hesitate when the identity of the new BU assistant coach (Brooks) was still speculative and not yet confirmed by BU.

I believe (from a source) that the writers DO have some knowledge of the identity of some of the candidates, but I also know their inquiries to BU to ask their identity have been denied.
 
The PJS article would have been more interesting had they
described some of the candidates.imo

As for Ray Lahood; Ray do you want a little cheese with your whine? :wink:
 
I don't know the nature of the PJstar's relationship with the search committee, but I do know that the committee has been keeping the list of candidates top secret. The reason is that many of these candidates hold prominent positions currently, and it's not fair to them to publicly announce their interest in the job. It's more out of respect for their privacy than anything.

What I do know is that the first round of interviews will take place this week, and from there they should whittle down a short list of only a few candidates. Whether or not they decide to publicize that list, I don't know; but I would suspect (due to precedence) that they won't.
 
BUFirsty, Ray LaHood is no dummy when it comes to education or fund raising. I don't expect him to get the job, but I wouldn't be disappointed if he did. Wouldn't hurt to have a local on the job either. I'll back whoever they choose.

Comments like these don't bother me at all, I appreciate them and trust the info. And I love how they tick others off.

:wink:

Ray Lahood withdrew , because it is close to being a done deal and it is not him!
As I said before, Ray had as much chance of being President of Bradley as he has of being the President of these here United States of America. 0
Please do not ask me who it is? because other than his geography I do not know.
