By Division of Communications and Marketing
The Kansas Board of Regents has announced a meeting of the Board on Tuesday, November 15, at 10:30 a.m. in Forum Hall at the K-State Student Union on the Kansas State University campus in Manhattan. It is the intention of the Board for the purpose of this meeting to be the vote of approval of a new president for Kansas State University.
The meeting will be live streamed.
Following the meeting, an informal reception will be held in the Tadtman Board Room at the K-State Alumni Center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The K-State family is encouraged to attend as schedules allow.
More information concerning the university’s 14th president will be made available on the Office of the President's website. The president’s contract with the Kansas Board of Regents will be posted on this site once details are finalized.

Fun fact, there is only one other president than Krik who doesn't have a building on campus named after them.

Well, this is kind of true. President Denison used to have a building named after him, but it was torn down when Hale Library was constructed. President Will (shortest tenured president) does not and never has had a building named for him.

Any rumblings who it is?

I heard they were down to two candidates.

any truth to the rumors that bernadette gray-little is stepping down at K-thUg so she can take the job at k-state?

brownback would be worth it for the lols. he'll also get us the win at all costs football and basketball coach that our alumni deserve.

Nice work :surprised:
Do you recall where the original Denison hall was? They left that old crappy Denison Hall part duex building when they built Hale. I wasn't sure if it was the old building they took down closer to the street when they built Hale. I thought that was called the Dairy Hall or something like that.
-
Old Dennison was South and East of Hale's entrance. It was a craphole. I had several lectures there.
-
it's myers

Its Gen. Meyers(sp?)

That sounds fine

#FAMILY #maryjo

Just announced by Board of Regents.
-
Is he a Wefald type idiot or is he cool?
-
He's an ass-kicking, retired 4-Star U.S. Air Force General who went to K-State and was interim president since Schultz left.
And he likes to eat at J.P.'s, the bar at Jardine.
He's not Sam Brownback. So that's good.
-

Most def. He wanted to keep Frank at all costs.
-
Inspired pick!
-
Did brownback have to veto kobach's attempt to deport Frank?
-
Katkid what do you know about Myers relationship with currdog? I'm hoping the answer is frosty cold.
-
Seems like a dumb move. Don't you want to set up your UP as a guy that is around for longer than the avg football coach?

Does he care about winning sports and not really caring about a new microscope for the geology dept?

From some article in 2001:
He doesn't trust a person without a sense of humor; he rides a Harley for fun; he believes his parents, long deceased, would be proud of him; and he recalled when K-State scoring a single touchdown in a losing effort was cause to drink a beer in Aggieville.
When you ask where he considers home, the general answers without hesitation -- "Kansas."
In his office at the Pentagon, he has a miniature K-State football helmet signed by Coach LHC Bill Snyder. He also has two game balls -- one from the first modern-day K-State victory over Nebraska in 1998 and the other from the K-State versus University of Kansas game he attended earlier this fall.

“I fully endorse the board and President Schulz’s recommendation and appreciate John making this commitment to K-State during a time of leadership transition,” Myers said. “It has been impressive to see the growth of our athletics department under his leadership, and I look forward to working with John and his staff as we continue to strengthen what is already a strong relationship between intercollegiate athletics and the university community.”

Seems like a fiscally responsible choice.

I WAS SOLD A FALSE BILL OF GOODS!

But if we are honest about the world as it actually is, no university president was going to come in and have Currie on the hot seat.

I heard they were down to two candidates.
there are 3 final candidates.
Was Brownback one of them?
This seems like a very short term hire at a time where the school is facing some long term challenges between the state budget issues and conference realignment. I guess I hope he is buds with McRaven at UT and maybe has a good relationship with Boren from their time in DC but they will both be past 80 when the current gor is expiring.

So the 74 year old non academic was the best we could do? Don't get me wrong, I like the guy and as I said he maybe perfect on my biggest concern for the school at this time but it feels very stop gap. It will be interesting to see who KU ends up with.

The committee at K-State recommends 3 candidates and the Board of Regents decides. The process was closed so we don't know the other candidates but I would just make a very educated guess that the other two were academics.

While I am concerned long term, I am cool with this choice, my hunch is that the General knows how to work in a Whackadoodle political environment.

Also, a part of me hopes he starts a "black site" in a limestone basement in the college ghetto to interrogate the deans during their yearly budget review.

Much like Iraq, he wouldn't oversee the interrogations. They would be outsourced to John Currie.

1. Why isn't it public who the finalists are and when they are being interviewed? This should absolutely be a public process.
2. If the FHSU President, or any other Kansas Regents President is actual a finalist, I will be extremely disappointed. I understand the state of Kansas isn't the greatest place for academics right now, but damn can we not find people who are 2nd and 3rd in command at other major universities who want to be the gal/guy?

I agree it is bullshit, but academia/admin types have convinced everyone that this needs to be a closed process so that their admin doesn’t get butthurt that they are job hunting/protect egos when they don’t get it. It is terrible but all the parties that are in charge of this (candidates/regents/search committees) have a preference for this because it obviously provides less oversight/second guessing and also this is largely the pool of candidates for other jobs so wouldn’t it be better to have some discretion. Kstate doesn’t get to dictate this but I agree faculty should raise a stink about it and institutions with strong faculty’s that are unionized have some muscle with which to push back, but not here.
Agree whole heartedly. I know Schulz was a mixed bag for people but holy crap we need someone of that caliber/energy with an actual vision.

I'll be honest, I don't have the slightest clue what a good /bad president looks like or what expectations should be during their tenure.

It's all in the eye of the beholder. The dude that kat kid listed looks like a strong candidate for those who want a UP who will prioritize our standing as a research institution. I don't know what the hell that will entail but with his background it's clear that he's a research guy, stands to reason he would prioritize research.
When Oklahoma State hired Dr. Kayse Shrum she had the reputation of a program builder. She was the president of their medical school, she increased enrollment and got then medical school a $200 million grant. It was blood money from Purdue Pharma, but it's whatever I guess.
I'm going to be underwhelmed by whomever it will be, because my priorities don't align with the KSBOR.

The last UP they hired that was any good, outside of his ridiculous wife and several other weird things. Was some associate pres at Mississippi State.
NC State is a vastly superior academic school than Mississippi State.
Entire career at Power 5 Schools, has been in an atmosphere and school that has to deal with lunatics just down the road in Chapel Hill at every political turn, just like in Kansas. Good fit for K-State IMO. We'll see.

No. I knew the OSU guy in town within the last few months. I don’t know anything about him either, I just heard it from the guy that sits next to me at football games.
Just seems like college deans usually go into some sort of university leadership position like provost or VP of research before getting a UP job.

I am very uneducated about this type of thing, but I think Dax has great points here. I like the hire, and I don't think NC State's ag program is a "random college." That's tied for the most important College at KSU, IMO...I'd put Engineering and Business up there too with Ag.

It’s orders of magnitude better than Richard Myers so at least we have that going for us. Not sure how much longer Mean Gene intends to stick around but this guy will likely get to hire a new AD in a few years.

SLPT: Get really good at sports. The rest takes care of itself. Maybe call your friends at tOSU and find out how they pay players? It may have gotten KU a big 10 invite.

It just seems like they went two rungs down from the UP level. I get NC State is a good school. I’d just think there would be more interest from people at the Provost/other VP position type level with experience managing an aspect of an entire university from one of twenty NC State type schools out there. I thought there’d be a pool of people with this guy’s experience plus more at a university wide level.

The dean of a random college from a mid-tier large state school seems underwhelming, but what do I know.
The last UP they hired that was any good, outside of his ridiculous wife and several other weird things. Was some associate pres at Mississippi State.
NC State is a vastly superior academic school than Mississippi State.
Entire career at Power 5 Schools, has been in an atmosphere and school that has to deal with lunatics just down the road in Chapel Hill at every political turn, just like in Kansas. Good fit for K-State IMO. We'll see.
I am very uneducated about this type of thing, but I think Dax has great points here. I like the hire, and I don't think NC State's ag program is a "random college." That's tied for the most important College at KSU, IMO...I'd put Engineering and Business up there too with Ag.

It's like this; some school AD's can pull coaches like Lincoln Riley from a top P5 school and others like us can't even get a sitting G5 coach. Be happy with what we got.

This statement about a page down of the Topeka Capital-Journal article caught me by surprise with the context of the rest of the article: "Linton is the 15th president at K-State since its founding in 1863. All 15 have been White men."

RIP Jon Wefald

Yup, he's definitely responsible for why so many of us are cat fans

Total EMAW. Thanks for everything JW.

What's the early word on the new guy? From the limited social media videos I've seen, he seems to fit the prez profile pretty well

He's certainly been very visible, but I think that has a lot to do with him being new to the university. I like the guy so far.

Love something like Richard Linton loves the wildcat hand sign.

have heard small good rumblings about him wanting increased exposure in the kc metro.

8/19 interview on NPR. Some discussion on getting enrollment turned around. Mentions a plan to reduce out of state tuition for students with good GPA :ksu:

I know my kid is 8 & we’re still a long way from college. However, unless things drastically change, there is no chance my kids are going to K-State.

This is the most minimum thing that can be done.

Random chart I found estimated that instate tuition and fees are about 12k per year instate. Over 30k per year out of state!!!!! Like, i'm proud of our school and all but if you pay 30k per year to go to Kansas State, you are a maniac.

Yeah that outta state is crazy

A few of the Midwest states already get in-state at KSU and KU through the Midwest exchange. Nebraska gives KS kids in-state at UNL, but none of the other states’ largest schools participate.

Nobody in their right mind should pay $31K a year to go to school at K-State (or any other school for that matter. But less than 5 miles from my house, kids pay $60K a year to go to a school that's a legend in its own mind).
KSUPRL from everything I've seen and heard, needs to get rid of a number of people, quickly.
Relative to the existence of this blog. The burden that tuition number puts on our athletic department is ridiculous and unmerited.

I thought this was fascinating. Tuition was basically free when I went to KSU.

yeah, seeing those large % jumps in seemingly random years is kind of odd. At some point it has to give, but people have been saying that for years. Hopefully by the time my kids get there, something will happen and I can buy something fun with the 529 money. :billdance:
