I still worry about the next president, whoever that may be.

It is a well known phenomenon that under pressure people show either their best qualities or their worst qualities. UAB faculty members and students such as Frank Messina, members of the Faculty Senate, the past and present USGA Presidents, Anjali Wagle and Garrett Stephens, and others have shown their mettle under fire.

On the other hand the present situation has revealed the true dark characters of some members of the administration such as Shirley Khan, Becky Watson, Clay Ryan (a hired gun) and perhaps Mark Ingram (still to be determined, but certainly not headed in the right direction). They, and others of their ilk, need to also be targets of a thorough house cleaning when Watts is gone.

Feel free to add other candidates who should also be show the door.

The tenured professors don't have to worry about the cycles of leadership because they are so to speak untouchable. The individuals that are in the VP ranks well that's something different. So Bolton is loyal to whomever is in charge at the moment...(BOT/Watts)

Smithers didn't get his name only because he looks exactly like Waylon Smithers. He's been a loyal follower of the Great Pumpkin and was Watts' finance guy at SOM when Watts was wrecking the place as Dean, helping oversee the decline from #20 to #42.

Smithers is UAB's third-highest paid employee after Haase and Watts. He is nothing without Watts. (He's also nothing with Watts, but you know what I mean.)

Smithers will never deliver a message of which Watts does not approve. He is the green mold to Watt's Pumpkin.

We should worry, since the BOT clearly has the last word on his/her selection.

Yeah the Governor is an OG or should I say PIMP! He wasn't concerned about UAB's welfare because he was chasing skirts in the gump

Dr. Bentley. He down with OPP.
