Jimmy Haslam lurking in the shadows again most likely. Everything that guy touches turns to $hit.

Why does higher education cost so much?
Beverly Davenport will be retained as faculty in the College of Communication and Information. Her compensation as professor will be $438,750, or 75 percent of her initial salary as chancellor of $585,000, as approved by the Board of Trustees, for four years.
Communications? Is that still a Major? Ugh!

You think that's bad...at least she's still working. Check out the compensation package for the President and Dean of Medicine at Michigan State.

I knew she had issues when she botched the Down the Drive chant at a home FB game.

Majority of letter dedicated to her lack of communication skills. And to where is she remanded? The communications department of course! Makes perfect sense. I also sense that there is more behind this than her ability to perform.

That is a rediculous golden parachute. Four years as a prof teaching something she is not good at doing. Does anyone really think she will actually work hard?
Thank god she was not given the UC job.

UC dodged a huge bullet, there is no question about that. I was absolutely stunned Tennessee hired her in the first place. She was never remotely qualified for that position.

*******...I hope someone runs a FOIA for her performance review if the letter of reassignment was that pointed. That must be novel-length.

Yes, communications is still a major. If it weren't, you'd have no one to advise you on how to speak to women in complete sentences.

That isn't the only reason UC was not considered for expansion.

I wonder who leaked that to the press. I'm not an employment law expert, but she may have an action if the source turns up on the other side. Her biggest negative in a recovery will be her age.
