I don't think it matters if she's a fan, but I do think it matters if she believes a winning basketball and football program helps the university as a whole.Anybody know anything about her? Does she like sports? Odds she could explain a pick and roll? Think it really even matters if she is a basketball fan?
I read that while at KSU, she regularly attended sporting events and even requested halftime stat sheets when attending football games.Anybody know anything about her? Does she like sports? Odds she could explain a pick and roll? Think it really even matters if she is a basketball fan?
anything in a 2 piece?
Underwhelming may not be a bad thing in this instance. Holds degrees from Kansas and Kentucky and worked at UGA, all three schools with very powerful athletic departments.Wow....looks like an underwhelming hire. And I don't think you want to see that 2 piece, She's a handsome woman.
“The current president, Dr. Pamela Whitten, also understands the impact athletics has made at KSU. She travels with the football team, and current athletic director Milton Overton always expects her to request a stat sheet to peruse at halftime.”
That’s great to hear.She is a huge sports fan. Will be great for the Athletic Department.
That’s great to hear.
But I have to say that UK degree sits a bit uneasy with me!
I bet she does... saucy Minx!“The current president, Dr. Pamela Whitten, also understands the impact athletics has made at KSU. She travels with the football team, and current athletic director Milton Overton always expects her to request a stat sheet to peruse at halftime.”
Holds degrees from??? Her last job was Kennesaw State! When was the last time you thought to yourself "if only IU could be more like Kennesaw State?" in anything? That's Strange with a capital S.Underwhelming may not be a bad thing in this instance.

Come to think of it, maybe Myles Brand, Adam Herbert, and Mike McRobbie were.Maybe she is a undercover UK operative, seeking to destroy IU athletics!!

Huh?Holds degrees from??? Her last job was Kennesaw State! When was the last time you thought to yourself "if only IU could be more like Kennesaw State?" in anything? That's Strange with a capital S.
I don't know anything about her academia background (other than degrees listed) or what she accomplished in the workforce prior to being hired at Indiana, but from an athletic department standpoint, it may not be a terrible thing to have a president passionate about sports, especially one who has studied and worked at universities with strong athletic departments previously. Just a thought. More TIC response than anything.Holds degrees from??? Her last job was Kennesaw State!

Mitch Daniels had been Governor, and had legs as a Preidential or VP candidate.. can't remember which. I guess i missed where she'd been Governor!Huh?
There's nothing the least bit unusual about an academic administrator going from a smaller institution to a larger one. Usually it means they've earned a great reputation in that world.
Heck, Purdue's president had never been an administrator at any college at any level. And I'd say he's done pretty well -- figuring out how to keep tuition rates flat for nearly a decade at a major institution, without tanking the university's finances, is almost unbelievable.
Yeah, I get that. My point is that it's myopic to judge a university president simply by your own biases about their past work experience.Mitch Daniels had been Governor, and had legs as a Preidential or VP candidate.. can't remember which. I guess i missed where she'd been Governor!
Yes, good for the AD....I was thinking more about the U as a whole.Underwhelming may not be a bad thing in this instance. Holds degrees from Kansas and Kentucky and worked at UGA, all three schools with very powerful athletic departments.

She may be great; hope she is, but I still think it's unusual, and I'd be the first to admit I know little about the typical background for such a candidate, other than I'd generally expect them to have experience with large state universities... ie. one of the largest in their state.Yeah, I get that. My point is that it's myopic to judge a university president simply by your own biases about their past work experience.
The fact that she comes from Kennesaw State -- instead of, say, Vanderbilt or somewhere like that -- tells us absolutely nothing. You have to have some faith in the Trustees, the search subcommittee, the professionals they hired to find and vet candidates, etc. to have done their due diligence and made the best selection.

Lol. KSU is not commuter school anymore. It’s closer to a PUFW. They have pretty nice facilities from what I can see.She may be great; hope she is, but I still think it's unusual, and I'd be the first to admit I know little about the typical background for such a candidate, other than I'd generally expect them to have experience with large state universities... ie. one of the largest in their state.
Kennesaw St to me is more of commuter/online school, seems strange and the fact that you offered such a silly comparison for PU, makes me know you understand exactly what I'm saying. Hopefully she is innovative, but I still believe it's an unusual jump to the largest public university in a state.

Just in terms of size, Kennesaw is the 2nd largest university in Georgia with around 41,000 students.She may be great; hope she is, but I still think it's unusual, and I'd be the first to admit I know little about the typical background for such a candidate, other than I'd generally expect them to have experience with large state universities... ie. one of the largest in their state.

Oh my. Lol.On the surface, she doesn’t appear to be a globalist so that right there may be a breath of fresh air.
You mean if they set out to hire a woman, come hell or high water?Yes, unless they did a Biden and refused to consider 50% of the population.
I was not aware of that.Just in terms of size, Kennesaw is the 2nd largest university in Georgia with around 41,000 students.

It seems like a really odd pick to me. I'm not sure what a "telemedicine expert" does to enhance IU's image as academic institution. Most of us have probably experienced it in the last year and my novice opinion of it is have your staff pick up the F-N phone. Just spent more than an hour waiting on hold with IU health before giving up, just need a damn prescription refill my Dr. has to authorize. Shit, if she could fix their horrible patient service, I could care less what she knows about sportsAnybody know anything about her? Does she like sports? Odds she could explain a pick and roll?

She's our new president. I like it. Can't imagine her goal is to suck in sports at a power 5 school. We'll be fine.
Go Hoosiers!

Underwhelming? Based on what exactly?Wow....looks like an underwhelming hire. And I don't think you want to see that 2 piece, She's a handsome woman.
