President/AD

[Roy_Faulker]

So with Halloway resigning at the end of the year does Rutgers wait til a replacement is named to officially hire an AD?

I’m sure there is a transition plan…at least I hope there is but the AD needs to be ready to lead in the NIL era.

The interm one is already working on it and better than Hobbs his predecessor did

 

[miket007]

No way will a AD be hired before the President hell anyone with credibility would want to know who they'll be working for...

 

[DJ Spanky]

How is it that Holloway who will walk out of here after only 5 years gets some cushy academic gig here for at least a year after he leaves?

That’s good to hear, though I am not entirely clear what that means at this point. And the idea if he is new priorities or just simply working to implement the plan in place prior to Hobbs’ departure?

Working on what? NIL era stuff.
Frankly, think Rutgers needs to go outside and hire someone with experience at another P5 (preferably B1G or SEC) school to bring in some new thinking. Seem to be locked in groupthink right now and the old way of doing things.

The ? Is. Will any of this crap help get us a Good-FB team?

It's Holloway.

Step 1 is hire a school President. No decent AD is coming here to work without knowing who their boss is and you better hope the BOG hires a school President who likes athletics and not a Bob Barchi.

I hope it’s someone like Michigan’s Provost, who has impeccable academic credentials, but also understands the role and importance of sports.

Rutgers should aspire to be more like Michigan, which is regarded as the best Public University in the country.

yes

yes

Exactly
Unless we planning on continue to suck for the rest of any of our lifetimes, this needs to be the priority

maybe just finding a new and better way to do things than the usual way RU makes things happen.

I agree we need to emulate our peers. But where in that biography show that she would be friendly to athletics? Or make it a priority.

What jumps out is her passion for DEI. Which usually flies in the face with spending on athletics.

Did you miss her degrees from Ohio state. Athletics success is in her DNA. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is an important part of Rutgers culture, being one of the most diverse schools in America. She knows the money that Michigan spends, and would be understanding of the dollars that Rutgers needs to spend

 

[RUforlife]

Any potential AD will be run by Greg for his approval you can count on it.

Loser of Trump/Harris should be rutgers next president

DEI? Fork her then, next please. I want hires no matter skin color or gender, that are the best of the best. If it was a person of color, sex is Male or Female,sexuality is LGBTQ whatever and is a Pedo St grad I don't care as long as their the best fit for Rutgers and get this $hit turned around!! Just to hire from a DEI list to make a small group happy is not what I want or see is the best interest of Rutgers.

No I didnt. She has 2 universities that understand the importance of academic and athletic balance. But nothing in her CV jumps out to me in regards to athletic priority. No mention of athletics liaison or oversight.

Rutgers (and many other organizations) completely overdo the DEI thing.

I’ve been part of several RU organizations and boards. And every single one of them spent so much time , energy, focus on being perfect in DEI . It would delay decisions, it would completely influence and be a primary reason for many decisions . No organization can be effective when there is that much focus on something that isn’t the primary goal. At times it felt like DEI was the primary goal.

I’m not pro or anti DEI initiatives. But when it consumes so much attention and is such a prominent part of every decision … then the attention and focus isn’t on the primary thing.

I’m sure DEI defenders or those inside the organization might try to say otherwise . But I’ve worked at plenty of organizations. And there’s a correlation between how fast things get done vs how much focus there is on DEI.

And often they tend to demonize a certain group when they very well may be willing to listen and help.

Right. This is how we ended up with Julie.

Really? Like Greg has been lighting the world on fire lately?

In all likelihood part of his deal for originally taking the job. That type of arrangement is pretty common in academia. RU actually does have a rather cushy arrangement for people who leave high level positions in the uni.

 

[toby83]

"passion for DEI" lol

So she's not interested in choosing the most qualified candidates, nice!

The big money still supports him, when we start to see the big $ donors questioning the direction of the program then maybe he will start to be held accountable.

Any respectable AD will want to bring in his own coach. The last thing will should do is to bring in an AD based on GS approval

I think McCormick got a similar deal as well?

 

[rutgersal]

Being an athletics liaison or having oversight over athletics is not important. Overseeing 19 schools including a medical school and Being an active researcher funded by the National Institutes of Health is what’s most important. Exposure to
AI facilitating the University’s functions is important. Actively working to reduce student debt and working to expand the University is important.

Understanding the important role that athletics plays and DEI plays, in the University’s mission is good enough. It doesn’t have to be her, but she has the profile of someone who I think can succeed in the role. You go to Michigan and you can’t help but notice how nice the campus is and operationally how organized and efficient they are. And how many buildings Stephen Ross has funded. Being #2 at Michigan is excellent preparation to be #1 at Rutgers. Rutgers has never had a female president. It might be time.

She would be a great candidate and I agree being #2 at Michigan shows she is more than capable But you specifically stated in your post that “but also understands the role and importance of sports.” and I asked for clarification. Nothing in her CV shows this. It actually could be argued to show the opposite. Just because she attended OSU and works at Michigan doesn’t correlate to being athletics friendly. Barchi was a varsity athlete in college and was as the most unfriendly RU President when it came to the athletic department.

McCormick, though, had been a history professor here for many, many years before he went the administrative track. Holloway had no pre-existing relationship with Rutgers prior to his short stint as president.

She went to Ohio State, and the assumption is The Ohio State- Michigan rivalry likely plays a prominent part in her life. It’s HUGE. Athletics philosophy can be covered during her interview.

Barchi went to Georgetown, then UPenn, and did not get to experience a big time sporting environment during his college days. Athletics just wasn’t a priority during his time at Rutgers because he had more pressing matters, like a medical school merger.

I know people that went to Penn and are die hard athletic supporters and people that went to LSU and locked themselves in a library and never set foot in a stadium. Don’t assume. Because you know what that does? It makes an….

And that’s why you interview. Her academic credentials are impeccable, and good enough to get the interview.

Do you really expect her to proclaim her Ohio State Fandom on a Michigan site? Come on man!

What are you talking about? You’re the one that is bringing fandom into it. I’m bringing athletic management and oversight credentials that would lead one to believe that she knows the role athletics play. Most academics no matter where they attended don’t see value in over the top athletic funding. You can run a case study at Rutgers alone.

Stay on topic.

Hard pass. We already a President with a medical background. Did not work out well. Also, don't want anyone from a school that supported cheating to win. For similar reasons, we should not consider any candidates from Penn State.

So she's not interested in choosing the most qualified candidates, nice!

This should be an instant disqualification…then again there’s a DEI dunce running for president who never won a single primary running to be Barack’s bitch…I mean President. Would not surprise me if DIE…I mean DEI is front and center to the selection. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Well as @SkilletHead2 said (and he would know), these kinds of arrangements are the norm in higher ed.

One wonders though…if it’s so bad for your family, why stick around in the first place.🤷‍♂️

He said the president job was bad.
I doubt being some professor that goes on sabbatical is bad
