Here are the big things for me.I like Stavridis as a person, I just don’t know what makes him qualified to be a major university president. I’m not saying he’s not it, I’m just saying I don’t know what he has in his background that would make him a homerun hire.
I imagine what we need, number one is someone that can generate mega donations like Shalala or better, and continue improving our academic standing and reputation.
I would also prefer somebody that had input, or at least to set the tone for a high bar for the athletic department. That’s not essential in the big scheme of things. I also would like someone that would immediately fire our AD (LOL), and do a nationwide search. But all that’s really in the hand of about four or five people in the BOT.

- Dean of Tufts Law School
It's a nice combination of experience from practical to academic.
