Yeah, and last week he gave an honorary doctorate degree to his friend during commencement (The Secretary of the Interior)...he was then scolded at the Board of Trustees meeting because he didn't get authorization from the Board to give out the degree...I thought a new President would mean no more "good ole boy" deals...guess I'll keep on wishing...

I'm disappointed also. Passing out a nice slice of pie to one of his friends does not cut the mustard here. They did a nationwide search and come up with Toledo? Right !!! I have nothing against his friend, but I can come up with at least 10 names here in Central PA who would be just as qualified, if not more so.

I agree with all of the comments above. "National search," yea right. Just goes to show that it's who you know more than your merits. I have had to deal with some upper level faculty there, and they don't seem competent enough to mow the grass at that school.

And to have the audacity to mention their connection in the article. If they had left that out, most of us would not have realized they knew each other! It is very disappointing!

Hopefully, he hired his friend because he is qualified and good for the position. However, I doubt it, but time will tell.
