Shalala is stepping down

[Ibis Wingz]

Jeb Bush 4 Prez?

That is a great call! Education was a huge part of his agenda as governor, he has incredible connections and he understands the culture here.

Just hope her successor can do as much academically for the school as Dr. Donna has. (Hopefully we will get someone who wants to upgrade our sports facilities and teams so they are competitive nationally again. They certainly aren't now. How about someone from Stanford? They have good teams and great academics.)

LOL. Jesus Christ. She has raised 10x the amount of money for athletics facilities upgrades than any other president. The Hecht renovation, the Schwartz addition, the Greentree renovation, private planes for recruiting, she built the ****ing BUC! Cobb, A-Rod Park... what planet do some of you live on?

Keep spinning on this, and any other negative thing that actually hurts this university's athletic program because of your pro-Shalala obsession.

Idon't know if its that you cover for ANY university President, ANY athletic director, ANY coach, or just NEED to spin spin spin.... I have no idea. It's really inexplicable.

This f'ing president is a massive failure to everyone, except the 10% of the pro-Shalala lunatics on the far left whocan't see straight. Which of course means 90% of this board and the moderators who's sole purpose seems to be to fan the spin and preserve this embarrassment to the site, the U, the community.

How utterly stupid to try to tie this in to politics. Clearly the real reason you don't like her, and wouldn't no matter what she accomplished at the school, is that she's "on the left." That you are so blinded by your extremism doesn't change the fact that she's a highly regarded university president, she's an excellent leader and has done a fantastic job. Even others on this board who are conservatives have overlooked the political differences and acknowledged as much.

And you're a person with a hateful agenda that's a detriment to my school, our fan base, and everything the U stands for. You have no problem flip-flopping, misleading the board and yourself, and just ****ting on everything and everyone. You're part of the problem, not the solution.

Being Pro-Shalala is detrimental to the school?

Raising three billion dollars and doubling the applicants to the University is a bad thing?

Odd.

LOL, dude some of these people wish Tad Foote was still the Prez. No lie. They think he was better for UM athletics.

How many NC's did we win under Foote and how many did we win under Shalala... results matter.

Your rant makes no sense. I have a "hateful agenda"? Really? You're the one spewing hate. I'm pointing out that Shalala is highly regarded for the job she did, while you are hung up on politics. "Your" school? Sorry, my school as well, and many others...and as I stated, Shalala is highly regarded by most students and alumni. "Flip-flopping"....not sure what you are babbling about. "Misleading"...how so? "****itng on everything and everyone"? No, that would be you. You're the one with the whiny, irrational, and negative attitude backed by your willful ignorance.

Yes, you've got the agenda. Those aren't "bull**** assumptions" those are verifiable facts. I was at UM before Shalala's tenure. I've been back many times since, and have close contact with people still affiliated with the school, including researchers. She has done a fantastic job in improving facilities, educational resources, and the school overall. You're just whining because you don't like "liberals". If a conservative were in the position and had the same exact results you'd be fawning over him because politics are all you care about.

How can he mislead himself? You're all over the ice, Gretzky.

 

[bensch.us]

Be careful what you wish for. As much as a lot of you hated President Shalala she at least was interested in our athletic program. Would you rather have a Ted Foote type president again, and we do not have a Sam Jankovic to stand up to the president. Blake James will not fight anyone. She has made the school much better since her start, don't forget ALL of the improvements to not only the campus but the athletic facilities (a bunch of people have always complained about facilities on here). This all plays into recruiting.

Is the BUC something we are supposed to be proud of. The thing is a disaster with all those empty rows without seats.

So how is the facility a disaster? You realize the facility was built for expansion capacity to 9K, but the University's good friends in Coral Gables City Council would only approve to +7K.

Clearly by the outpouring of disdain not only on this site, but on social media posts about her resignation indicates she is not as highly regarded as you seem to think she is. She's at best a polarizing figure, and at worst a micro-managing elitist who is more worried about public perception while she and her cronies rape the University. Do a little research and see just how bad she has mismanaged a number of things on the medical campus for starters.
