Dear Ute Nation:

This is a pretty terrific accomplishment.

You keep bringing that up just to hurt me.

This is nice.

U jumps in national rankings

https://attheu.utah.edu/facultystaff/u-jumps-in-national-rankings/

Applications to the U. are up 45% and the acceptance rate is 67%. To get In applicants must generally have a 3.6 GPA and a 27 ACT. I imagine there are waivers for athletes and others in special...

In the Wall Street Journal rankings Utah jumped from #312 in 2018 to #169 in 2019. Clearly, hanging out in the PAC-12 has been good for the neighborhood.

That's his problem. He wants clicks and retweets all that comes with them. I suspect he's happy about all the attention he's generating.

He is a mainstream conservative, right off the pages of National Review. He's farther to the right than I am but all the talk about him being a white supremacist is beyond absurd.

Here's a letter...

Almost no one in this story comes off looking good. I've always thought Pershing was weak. I've heard that he was a second or third choice for the Utah presidency because the first choice pulled...

I heard Dean Randall speak Friday at my son's graduation ceremony (M.S., Information Systems). He has "Leader" written all over him.

Where in the U of U world is Prof. Randall? Is he a dean now?

EDIT: I see that he's the dean of the School of Business with a stellar background. We could do worse.

Yeah. But this donor was willing to humiliate publicly the university president and the most visible and important V.P., and he got away with it.

Random thoughts:

Nobody looks good here. Huntsman looks worse than anyone else.

This will pass. I agree with Sancho that the U will be able to find a replacement to serve in the president's...

Finding a successor to Lee and Pershing will be harder. For the health sciences job they'll need someone who is willing to kiss Huntsman's ring prior to taking the job, and who is willing to give...

I just can't get past the "optics," to borrow the term that PR people use all the time. Big donor is upset about an administrative/management direction that is entirely consistent with current...

I think Huntsman looks really bad. What Dr. Lee wanted to do is consistent with what healthcare providers everywhere are trying to do regarding the organization of patient care. I don't know...

Wow. I thought he'd at least get a "decent interval."

I agree. I was surprised at how vehement it was and how public it was. For a man of his stature in the community and in the nation, it was a little disappointing. Was it not possible for him to...

Guy's got a grudge against the U. Pathetic.
