Presidential search floundering terribly
Feb. 29, 2004The search for Ohio University's next president has been by turns ridiculous, outrageous, infuriating and deeply discouraging. The search committee has kept itself cloistered well away from the very campus whose future it is helping determine; it has cloaked its progress reports in administrative gobbledygook; worst of all, it has missed nearly every deadline it set for itself. On this first day of March, it has essentially nothing to show for four months of existence except a lot of unsubstantiated promises that it is making progress. When OU searched for a president 10 years ago, Robert Glidden had already visited campus by February. Now, the search committee says, the first candidates will not visit Athens until May, when students are getting ready to leave and administrators can sneak in their picks away from the public eye. This is beyond exasperating.
