MEGA Frenk Out - Who Next?

[FL Cane]

Tell me you know nothing without telling me you know nothing. Another fool who thinks frenk was behind the new investment in athletics lol

You’re 100% right. Frenk was a complete non factor with sports. The most credit I could give him in that area is that he knew enough to know that he was out of his depth, so he deferred to others. He couldn’t give less of a **** about sports though.

Well for me that show great leadership. He step aside and deferred.

Typical CIS.. when in doubt always blame the president of an academic institution when sports fail to perform.

Upward? Seems like a pretty lateral move...

UCLA reputation > UM reputation

I would also be willing to bet he got a nice pay raise or some other benefits.

You made that really creepy.... It reads weird...

Nope. Not meant to be creepy. One of the 5 best posters on CI. I would say the same for Cribby and a couple of others. They all give great information and insight.

I don't know about you all but this thread got me feeling farshtopt

Exactly. She inherited a university with the #1 football program in the world who played in an iconic stadium of its own and coached by one Butch Davis... and under her tenure we hired Larry Coker, Randy Shannon, Al Golden. She invested $0 in football, was instrumental in tearing the Orange Bowl to rubble, and she never lifted a finger to built us a replacement stadium. She didn't invest in any facilities. Then there's the famous picture of her accepting a check from Nevin Shapiro.

Shalala was as much of a train wreck for Miami as anyone could be. If she wasn't actively trying to destroy the football program, then she just bungled it up so badly I don't know if we should laugh or cry. We're STILL digging our way out of the hole she put us in.

That's her legacy.

Thank you

I can’t even reply to the porsters defending her because “she cared more about athletics than Frenk ever did.” That is called a straw man argument. Shalala should rot in ****. The photo of her with Nevin at the bowling alley is her legacy in my mind. She cared about nothing except for money.

Frenk is just a clueless dolt hired because of race.

I saw on here he got $1,600,000 at Miami which is approximately $1,004,000 after taxes.
He is getting around $950,000 at UCLA which is approximately $496,000 after taxes.

That worked well for Harvard. Unless that faculty member is a dean, we'd be better suited looking for someone with leadership experience.

Shalala had been a chancellor at University of Wisconsin.
Foote had been the dean of a Washington University Law School.
Henry King Stanford was president of Birmingham-Southern College.

Yah Dean level experience is pretty much an absolute minimum for anyone to be at all a serious applicant for an R1 university president post

This you?

Sorry but like it or not Frenk was a good president for UM sports. Way better that Shalala.

I mention sports! Still UHealth still a cash cow and funding sports. The UM issue is that they are still operating under the Ivy league mentality.. which we are not and is not our student demographic.

You keep owning yourself in this thread man. UHealth is BECAUSE of shalala. We were a south florida real estate holding firm before she arrived and shifted to buying up health care capacity.

 

[NicKane]

Wait, is Joe any better? Wasn’t he practically the mouth piece & Frenk’s henchman?

Joe is the guy we want in charge if you care about sports. Because sports will definitely be at the top of his list.

 

[Wake_Cane]

Thats a remarkably insightful post coming from him.

We all know you fantasize about F$U every night. Just change your log-in name to Happy Seminole, nobody will hold it against you.

More TOC tears. You have cited FSU, yet again... then deflect it, yet again...

I am not giving accolades to Frenk for UHealth creation that was Shalala but money allocation was under Frenk.

He's part of the "Angry Ibis will complain about anything and everything" theme.

Then he sounds like a brilliant dude that won’t settle for mediocrity…

I am torn on this.

On one hand, I see the history of academics leading major institutions.

On the other hand, I've seen F$U select one failed politician after another as its president, and they now have a higher ranking than we do.

So I'm not 100% opposed to going the non-academic route. Needs to be someone very good.

Running FSU is a much more inherently political job though. Thrasher couldn't even answer basic questions about how to apply for research grants at his early town halls with faculty. A non academic hire like that here would truly be catastrophic internally. At an absolute minimum we'd hemorrhage disgruntled faculty and it would be open season for peer institutions to poach us like crazy. And faculty poached bring their grant money with them when they go.

Not so outside the box considering people mention her name all the time because she is a big proponent of Stanford athletics. Not sure it would help us get out of the ACC if she's trying to look out for Stanford, which would be a clear conflict of interest.

 

[AlexCane]

I'm always skeptical that academic types will marginalize athletics. Maybe that's an unwarranted stereotype. But I'd kind of prefer folks like Frenk that seemingly stayed out of the way than the flip-side, which is someone too involved, which I always assume would likely have negative not positive repercussions.
