Schulz dumps us for Washington State

[chuckjames]

If possible, lets try to keep this out of the pit.

Kinda hard not to, when it's quite obviously a political issues in the state of Kansas.

Most state university systems won't see funding again like they did in the 90s. That doesn't mean that they are all doomed. There are solutions out there. It requires coming back from the edge of the ideological precipice, but I think Kansans are at that point now. Ripe opportunity for a moderate governor to come in next term and be hailed as a savior, which would precipitate more moderate politics in the state going forward. Situations have fundamentally changed, but I don't think they've changed in such a way as to make K-State unviable as a competitive state university...at this point.

Too bad you guys didn't protest. You could have felt responsible for this.

[Brock Landers]

I will be interested to read the reasons he decided to leave.

He probably saw the mean comments on that pic of him and his wife at Disney World.

'clams gonna 'clams

i'm not sure what you mean by this but if you're insinuating that my support for our current ad is because i'm trying to be contrarian, you are mistaken.  a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.  good luck to k-state finding someone willing to come here and do more than schulz has done at k-state.  he does a lot of stupid crap on twitter, ya i know. 

[nicname]

Sports Nicname is very happy about this. Non-sports Nicname would prob do the same thing as fAnimal if I had to deal with being an education admin in Kansas.

Never really understood the Schulz hate.  But I don't twitter very much either.  Maybe we will get a stud prez to replace him though?  Should we look for a prez with prior D1 prezing experience or take a flyer on a hot, up and comer prez from a smaller school?

Ednksu shut up about your stupid thing.  I'm trying to do something.

[Dr Rick Daris]

Not sure how to spin this as a positive but I'm willing to listen to someone who wants to try.

[DQ12]

Seems strange that he left.  But whatever.  I'm sure the next president will be fine, and hopefully not be as meddlesome and childish as Kirk was.

See ya in hell, ya filthy Animal.

Rumor is he left for the dank nugs

[Kat Kid]

Just a reminder for a lot of dumbasses in this thread claiming this was a "lateral" move or that the financial situation in ks is fine.  With the obvious qualifier that this salary is obscene, it bears mentioning.

This is simple-he thought he wasn't getting paid enough for how much he was doing/was going to asked to do in the near future.

Campus carry a reason he left? Jesus Christ.

I've gathered while up here that Wazzu's last pres was beloved.

From wiki:

E-Flo[edit]
Floyd was often referred to as “E-Flo” for his approachable style with students. The nickname was given to him originally by the University of Missouri student newspaper, The Maneater.[8] At WSU, Floyd was known for sitting with students in the student sections of basketball and football games. He gave out his personal cell phone number to any student who asked for it – once famously to an entire group of student reporters at the WSU student newspaper, The Daily Evergreen, during a meeting with them.[9]

Buttons were created by University of Missouri students bearing the phrase “I [heart] E-Flo” in 2005, and a similar version of the “I [heart] E-Flo” buttons were created by students at Washington State University on social media to support Floyd in his fight with cancer. The WSU newspaper, The Daily Evergreen, ran a series of articles with the “I [heart] E-Flo” buttons accompanying each article.[10]

Voluntary pay cut[edit]
On November 21, 2008, Floyd asked the WSU Board of Regents to cut his pay by $100,000 in light of the difficult budget the university was facing.[11] His salary had been increased from $600,000 to $725,000 in August, making his salary $625,000 after the reduction.[12] It is the largest known salary-reduction of a university president. Floyd said he wanted to "lead by example." Two other university presidents gave self-imposed cuts that week as well.[13] On June 16, 2009, Floyd announced an additional 5% cut to his salary along with other executive board members.[citation needed]

well there ya go. Good for him.

I don't know that I'd say he wrote open carry down on his T-chart when he an Noel went to the Olive Garden to hash it out, but he was very critical of open carry, and that is a small part of the bigger politics in the state that he obviously saw as a problem. It's the salary and it's the politics. And also the mean tweets, but not quite as much.

I have no strong feelings about this one way or the other
