DeSmetBilliken Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Apologies if this is somewhere else, but there's an announcement tomorrow morning at 9 am to introduce a new SLU president. From the SLU Facebook page: The SLU Board of Trustees held a special meeting to elect a new University president this evening. A special event will be held at 9 a.m. tomorrow (Friday, March 21) in the Wool Ballrooms of Busch Student Center to introduce SLU’s 33rd president to the University community. The event is open to SLU faculty, staff and students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmetBilliken Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Any ideas of who this is? I met Kauffman and he seemed like a good dude Well, given that I saw someone (I think Timmerman) tweet that Kauffman was in Orlando, I'd be somewhat surprised if they schedule it for him to fly back in time for the 9 am announcement.

I'm pretty sure he has said he does not want the job. He's a GREAT guy though. He would be very good as Pres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills10 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'm surprised that he is not there for the announcement no matter what. Also am betting there are a bunch of administrative people in FL also missing out. This timing is strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicCityBilliken Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 surprised they do it on Friday, in politics that when you give bad news to get into weekend quickly and give good news on Monday to have benefit of full weeks news cycle..

cheeseman Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Previousl I had posted that I had heard from someone who had knowledge of the situation that they could name someone by the end of the month and that they were very happy with the finalists. Looks like they will make the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
