A likely excuse.

I am certain the BOT planned it that way.

The Christmas plot would make intermational headlines. Too bad no one in this town has the balls to go after them. The media might lose their press credentials in Tuscaloosa. 05-stirthepot

The candidates do not usually meet with the full committee until finalist are named.

So the committee instead of naming several finalist went straight to a recommendation which means they felt no need to interview. Thus picked a candidate they knew which means an "internal" candidate got the job.

I believe you are correct. I also believe that there will be a search fo a new Senior Vice-President and Dean of the School of Medicine very shortly after the new President is named.

Don I Agree with you on that possibility. Again no inside information but your information is in line with the rumors that I heard as early as Thanksgiving. Although a former Provost may have been still sending mixed signals about that time

The bad news is that signals the east side takeover that I have long predicted and feared. The good news is that I understand that he has an undergraduate degree from UAB -A FIRST !! and could just maybe be a Scotty(or Volker)

From what I've heard, and this is with no inside information, but he would not necessarily be a bad hire for the undergraduate side of campus

As I recall the routine, "Watts on second". "Who's on first".
