Who are some possibilities to replace Shalala?

[FrancisSawyer]

I was just curious if there are any names floating out there as candidates to succeed DS. I would imagine that there a few of you who are fairly plugged in to this sort of thing.

What type of experience and background are preferred for a position of this kind? Could anyone speculate on what the short list might look like? Thanks.

Either a dean of one of the bigger colleges, or the provost, Thomas LeBlanc. Doubt someone from outside of UM would come in to be the new President

Isn't this a possible rumor?

Rice would be a grand slam for the university but no chance that happens.

Not sure why you think that. Universities often look for new blood instead of promoting from within. I can guarantee there will be a national search and a lot of good applicants to weed through. Shalala improved the academic reputation of UM such that this would be a dream job for a lot of folks.

Doubtful, there are some saying she could take over the NFL.

Rice is dream come true, but I doubt it happens.

With the way the University is expanding it's academics, trying to really push the engineering school, I wonder if they won't look to the bigger Engineering schools for a President - Purdue for example.

I thought this was a football board?

80% chance it's from the outside, 19% LeBlanc 1% someone else at UM.

i said this before, she's a republican/conservative and she will not fly with a liberal/democratic university and BOT. i'd love her to be here and she would add great value to the school, but it is very unlikely.
