Stop it. Frenk was the Dean of Faculty at Harvard, Stavridis was the Dean of Tufts' law school. Tulane's president was the Dean of Penn Law and has been doing wonders there. Please tell me what Frenk running the Ministry of Health in Mexico did to prepare him for his role at UM, absent helping the school navigate an unforeseeable pandemic.Because what you want in a leader for a major academic institution is someone who has extremely limited experience leading a major academic institution.
Frenk was brought in to bolster the med school. Med school rankings heavily impact US News rankings. I'm not a Frenk fan but calling for Stavridis is like saying The Rock should be AD, which most of you morons actually would go with.
Our medical school has been going downhill just like everything else under Frenk. And by the way, if you want to hold Shalala up as some med school hero... how did overpaying for UHealth go under Shalala, or their brilliant plan to pay for it by sending "desirable" patients there and keeping charity cases at Jackson, nearly bankrupting Jackson, or the medical school faculty walking out of Pascal Goldschmidt's state of the school address after she spent millions to lure him down from Duke. Your act can fool a lot of people on here, but I promise you it is not fooling me.
