Look I'm not into attacking people but what Kate Sweeny pulled off was reprehensible . She basically chose her own appointee according to her own agenda driven ideas. Herman wasn't on the suggested list she put her on it by herself. She railroaded the interviews so much so that RU had to issue apologies to other candidates. Then to cap it off basically admitted the whole sordid affair with her championing of "WE DID IT". I'm sorry but this was a bias search run by her which she co-chaired. She rightfully deserves all the fan, alumni and faculty scorn. After this fiasco she shouldn't be trusted with any decisions that require what's best for RU. Because she sure as hell didn't in this instance.
