Buffalo Wild Wings Grill and Bar
Oct. 23, 2005Last week, Ohio University President Roderick McDavis met with local bar owners in an attempt to persuade them not to open before Saturday's 10 a.m. Homecoming Parade. McDavis' proposal was flawed from the beginning because it gave bar owners nowhere near enough time to change plans and gave them no incentive to open later anyway. It is insulting to the owners, as well as to Athens residents and visiting alumni, that McDavis felt it was his duty to impose his wishes on local businesses in such a brazen manner. McDavis' conduct in the matter is a poor representation of his administration.

High turnover
Oct. 23, 2005It seems that many of Ohio University's top administrators are dropping like flies. Four deans have left their positions at the university to pursue other endeavors - including former College of Communication dean and current Provost Kathy Krendl - since President McDavis took over. With all of those highly influential positions remaining unfilled, it is important for the search for new, qualified people to be expedited not only for the university to function smoothly, but also for McDavis to be fully able to roll out his vision for the university.
