I don’t like what he did but the guy was at Harvard and whatever your political views which don’t belong on this forum or thread, he wasn’t hired because of race so gtfoh with your ****. Bad hire? Don’t disagree but not for the reasons weak minded people think. Yeah I said it.
Ok. Feel better about yourself now?
It was plenty of a priority for Frank as well. Don't assume that just cause it's not being spoke about publicly that we were just sitting in the shadows doing nothing. That is grossly inaccurate.
Tbh, I'd lean even further towards the non-academic route. It's obvious why academics should be inserted here, but given how much "BS" a president has to deal with at a university these days...
i would not make such a generalized comment about that topic.
Is that your pup in your profile picture?
I think Fabio should be Miami's next President.
I would look at what he actually did in his career before throwing out Harvard (which isn’t what it used to be) as some sort of impenetrable defense against criticism. He is a career academian, aka bureaucrat.
I defer to true academics and people who work in education like @Wake_Cane but I can at least see a reasonable argument about a CEO type when on some level at this point Miami is now a hospital system with a university attached to it. I just want someone who can walk and chew gum at the same time- run athletics right which means football and baseball titles here, expand sports and get out of the ACC and not to the big 12- along with growing academics, from research to more opportunities to compensate for those that can't afford the crazy price but deserve a chance to attend to building the endowment and fixing the rankings decline, no matter what the reason.

I don’t see how my political views have anything to do with my comments about Frenk. I said nothing political. I said he was hired because of race (subsequently corrected to ethnicity). I should have included “and because he had Harvard on his resume with a background in healthcare.” When the university sent out an email and tweets touting the first Latino university president, how is one NOT to think that ethnicity was a factor???
I might be an a-hole, but I’m not weak minded. Weak minded would’ve included a foh.
Have a nice day @Ispyin
And deny CIS the PASSIONATE MAGNIFICENCE of the new President?And a thumbnail photo wouldn't have sufficed?
Frenk = Former Mexican Minister of Health = UCLA = not hard to see the opticos aqui, meng.
That's the nuance I'm talking about. Aside from the word "solely" which I don't believe I used, I agree. I would change NOTING to PROMOTING, but who cares....I think we've (I've) beaten this dead horse enough. Thank you for articulating it better than I did.
Mira, en LA, usamos vato, no usamos "meng." Lo está reservado por los Miamianos.
