Enrollment continues to drop like a lead balloon. Funding has been reduced. Seeking a president who supports "shared governance" ?? The inmates appear to still be in charge of the jail. Hmmm. That might be a key factor

One of the sorriest most liberal schools in America. It’s no wonder they cannot find A president.

Liberals are evil and stupid. But even they have their limits. Who would want to be the president of that college?

The key takeaway is the people in charge of the college do not think anything they are currently doing is wrong.

“We would like to hire you as our new college president. Please be aware that within a year of your hiring, we will be firing you — as well as pursuing public humiliation of you for reasons of either racism or sexual misconduct. Are you interested in the job?”

No wonder the candidates dropped out. They all realized they were trying to become president of one of the biggest s**t-hole colleges in the entire nation.

They really oughta just shut the thing down before they turn out more people like Rachael Corrie, aka ‘St. Pancake’.

The candidates came into the process and found out that the inmates were running the asylum. Got smart and ran

In related news, White Star Line can’t find anyone who wants to be captain of the Titanic.

Institutional death by political correctness.

Yep, that’s where we are today.

Considering the likelihood of being fired and publicly humiliated, I would want to negotiate a contract with a nice hefty golden parachute/severance package.

And I wonder about the pay and benefits of the job. I’ve heard many college presidents make in the neighborhood of a half million dollars a year.

I also wonder if whatever jobs these people currently have, the pay and benefits are good, and just come with so many fewer headaches that they decided to withdraw from consideration?

“I think I see the problem right here.”

It’s possible that they didn’t realize they’d have to work for a ‘Karen’ until just now...hence they immediately extradited themselves.

Crap left wing loon college with massively declining student body. Just pick someone out of the phonebook. Eventually, you’ll find someone stupid enough to take your offer.

Hot potato of a job that is.
Need someone like a Biden who would be a puppet for the Marxist student body.

“We have some learning to do as a community as to why they withdrew.”

Simple answer, they’ve taken their liberal beliefs too far.

Trustee David Nicandri said the common conceit about the college is that its biggest challenge is in recruitment and retention, but he also cited a “deeper set of problems” facing the college, which he did not identify.

No one wants to address the woke dumpster fire in the room.

2 of the 3 are Veterans, so that probably immediately “disqualified” them.

A forthcoming interim president or interim administrator or permanent appointment must engage constructively and continuously with the campus community with one primary objective in mind — that we engage in the ideal model of shared governance in a collegial and constructive manner,” he said.

************************************************************

........translated into English, this means you will “share” your authority with every student and every teacher and make an effort to find common ground before doing a damn thing...

But, if something goes wrong, ALL BLAME IS ON YOU !!!

On the plus side, I highly recommend the Bret Weinstein Darkhorse Youtube channel / podcast. Bret Weinstein was the prof at Evergreen who was drummed out of the school for refusing to bow down to their absurd wokeness.
