What dean?? I heard he got pushed out weeks ago! Have they been able to find a replacement already?

Thanks for the heads up. This really isn’t sour grapes, but I guess I can’t control what people think. I chose to leave SLU because the environment was horrible and getting worse by the minute. I have a lot of friends still there who haven’t been so lucky as to find a job outside of SLU and they’re just stuck watching things get worse and worse. I want to see change because SLU is better than what it has become. I want positive change for my friends who are still there, and I want change because I would love to go back under the right circumstances. More than anything, I want to be proud of my alma mater. Right now, that’s pretty tough.

I'm a former student athlete and former university employee as well. The athletic department is so dysfunctional and the leadership is very bad. I have countless examples and stories of awful things that the AD so-called “leaders” have done to coaches, student athletes, and even recruits. Billy Ken is not wrong. Medical school is in a very bad place, that is accurate. I keep thinking that the BoT will see through all of this and start making better decisions about who stays and who goes from the University’s leadership team...but I’m beginning to think they are unwilling to do anything to fix the problem.
