You’ve got to hear this!!!
My take on the first few questions.
Q: Why do you want this job?
A: To lead an institution that has such a vital link to the economic success of this community.
What this really means - Just think of the goodies I can dole out to my friends who have been so good to me over the years, never mind the power I can wield.
Q: Why are you qualified -
A: Multiple roles of president - Focusing on nurturing relationships with political entities and business.
What this really means - I don’t know squat about education, but boy am I connected.
Q: There’s been some controversy -
A: Well, all presidents have to get acclimated. What this means - We all know I don’t know squat about academia, but I’m going to make it seem like I’m on equal footing with those who have spent their lives in it.
What’s really interesting here is that I don’t think in the first several questions he’s even mentioned students, education, quality of education, campus, etc.
Great footage.
