President Peterson has announced his retirement

So who hires the new President? I'm sure the heavily uga weighted BOR will select someone who cares deeply about GT academics and athletics.
 
Don't let the door hit ya!

Actually, I wondered, and still do, why he was at the Cobb Chamber breakfast this morning. It had NOTHING to do with Tech, academics, education per se, or engineering. It was the state of the County address by the chairman.

Good riddance. Under his direction, GT has mostly held serve or lost ground on academics, become less competitive in every single sport, has violated students' rights to due process, had ethics violations galore, and has idly watched as its peers have expanded their curriculum and footprint. I'll take my chances with the new guy.

Maybe now the 4th street tailgate can come back without fear of being arrested for disturbing the grass.
 
If you are expecting the new president to prioritize the athletic department then I think you have your priorities out of whack. While I'd love to have a great athletic program, the reputation of the football team is not what helped me (or probably any of you) get a job and succeed at life. Those MIT grads sure seem to do OK without a great athletic program.

Hang on a second. Here's what Renu Khator has done for Houston in 10 years as president:
- Reached Carnegie R1 status (only 115 in the US, previously was R3)
- Awarded Phi Beta Kappa chapter
- Convinced the State Legislature (full of TAMU and UT graduates) to let Houston have a medical school after decades of attempts to get one
- Moved the school from ~200 in ARWU to under 100
- Set the benchmark for "winning" in football at 10 wins per season

Here's what Bud Peterson has done at Tech over 10 years:
- Lost several lawsuits for lack of due process in the expulsion for students for sexual misconduct
- Had several executives fired for conflicts of interest and abuse of power
- Made national news for violent riots and protests on campus.
- Dropped in the rankings from when he started.

Think they'd swap?

We would be fired in the first week when our consensus interview questions for new faculty require them to submit pictures of their mother and asks about her dating habits and likes/dislikes.
