Holy sh^t didn't see this one coming. What happened with the Kearney hire?
Is this good or bad? And what about Kearney?
Is he a Shaka fan???
Surprised. Lovell done deal.
Interesting hire...three degrees in Engineering, including a PhD from Pitt...
Howland fan? ;)
If he is from Pitt does this make him pro or anti Howland? Maybe it explains the reports of Howland withdrawing his name?
Jeter wouldn't having a problem not knowing who the president is :'(
Jeter to MU!

Yeah, a formal announcement of the new President of Marquette University.

I'm never gonna get any work done.
This seems to fit a lot of what Marquette wants (tied in to Milwaukee and the surrounding region, fundraising ability, devout Catholic, relatively young).
HOWEVER, the red flag in his tenure at UWM was hiring 3 ADs in 3 years (Rick Costello, Andy Geiger, and Amanda Braun). Costello wasn't up to the job, and he got hoodwinked by Geiger for a paycheck. Braun seems to be qualified, but her tenure isn't even a year old yet.
Hopefully the news of Cords staying on for a full year more as the interim will help get the ship right on that side of the University and let the Cords & Strong duo get the right hire in place to work with the new basketball coach and Lovell (and show him how critical athletics are to Marquette's identity).
What happened to the Kearney hire?
All this misinformation and leaking of candidates names is making MU look like rank amateurs.

Or absolute genuises. Im almost convinced CBS 58 got their information from this board. Which is their own fault.
What an exciting (and incredibly stress inducing) time at MU! Hoping for some more big news tomorrow.
And I fully agree...all these "source" discrepancies don't shed the best possible light.

Understandably, bball is a focus at MU. But, as president, he'll also be involved with fundraising and both short and long term goals and vision for the university. Many other things to go along with his bball requirements, some, arguably, more important.

Certainly raises some questions. Bringing in someone from outside can be a plus, just as promoting from within can be limiting. If we truly did a nationwide search and the best we could find was right down the road.....makes me wonder about the process and those conducting it.

What if, after a thorough search, it became evident that Lovell was the best choice? I'm trying to figure out how that invalidated the search in any way. If we had just hired this guy after one day, everybody would have said we should have done a thorough nationwide search, no?

I certainly don't have a dog in this fight, but if ties to Milwaukee are part of the evaluation then it is definitely possible that the best candidate was just down the road.
Do we really believe that after a nationwide search, a guy in our back yard was really the far and away best choice? I'm dubious.
And I don't think Marquette should aspire to be UWM.
The way the Internet has performed this week makes me seriously question my Weather Channel app when it tells me the sun will rise tomorrow.
Just saying, on paper it seems like the Law Dean was a more impressive find. That being said I realize this is about fundraising, so hopefully he can bring in big money.
From my 50k foot level, he seems to be less of an academic than Kearney, Wild, Pilarz, and in that case it's good. Based on his past experiences I feel like he has some business and political savvy which is good. I hope he has a dynamic personality, students see and hear from him on campus and alums see him at the games.
First it was Luis Bennett for. Men's Soccer. Now this. We're going public folks! Low academic standards here we come!

When I was a student I had a private meeting with Father Raynor after writing an editorial critical of his lack of presence on campus. He basically said that fundraising was his primary responsibility and used that as an excuse for a lack of presence. I politely disagreed (suggested he should have a State of the School type address at least once a year for students) and still believe the MU President has a critical responsibility to lead and inspire students in addition to fundraising.

Well, the comments section of the JS Online article tells me that he hates basketball.
Off topic, but I also learned, "95% of Milwaukee can't stand Marquette people. (We are) just a bunch of self-serving, elitist snobs who add nothing to the community while rambling on and on about how great Chicago is." Also, apparently we "lay in bed at night, snuggling (our) yellow sweater vest and dream about what life would have been like had daddy had the connections or money to get (us) into notre dame?"
I am guessing somewhat lost out on either a job or girlfriend to an MU alum
Mehhh doesnt seem overly impressive but who knows? ?-(. Let's hope the committee did their due dilligence.

How does this reflect badly on MU? Why do we constantly twist everything into a negative for MU. This had to stop.
It makes the local media look like idiots (which they are). It's their problem, not ours.
As was mentioned before, I'll bet they got Kearney's name from this board. Between that and running with Shaka getting hired based in tweets they lost all credibility.
Now watch them run an editorial about the dangers of listening to social media when news is breaking. What they should do is fire the person that wrote that story to send a message to the rest of their staff to stop reading this board and do real work.

I don't believe anything until its reported on Twitter
I got my master's from UWM, and also work there. Academically, getting Lovell is a much bigger coup for Marquette than people probably realize. He's been involved in numerous high profile efforts at UWM, from Innovation Campus in Tosa, to one of only four Freshwater Sciences schools in the country, to a new Public Health building, to higher research emphases and funding, to more competitive incoming classes, etc.
Sports-wise, it's hard to say. UWM is obviously no MU when it comes to funding on that side, but I hope he realizes that basketball is not going away at Marquette.

And c'mon, there's no way the best candidate could be in our backyard? Remember when you all said that about Buzz? Now you're wearing your 2013 BIG EAST championship T-Shirts and still talking about the Elite 8.

You seriously need to find an outlet that'll allow you to stop dwelling on the opinions of UW-hyphens who pretend that they went to UW-Madison.
IMO, this feels like a case where the new president was essentially decided a few weeks ago, but they wanted to wait until the end of the academic year to announce it. When Buzz left, and the lack of a president became a perceived issue in the search for the new basketball coach, the announcement timetable got moved up. Also, they did not want it to appear that the new basketball coach was more important than the new president. So, this already done, but yet unannounced, deal goes public, clearing the way for an basketball coach hire in the next couple of days.

Hey, I was called a sanctimonious clown. lol. I've been called worse by better.
Lovell would be an underwhelming hire at best. Ill concede that uwm has made significant strides as a research university (still a distant second) in the last decade but I'd have equally significant concerns about the way money has been spent within the UW system and lovells lack of oversight on that.
Also I've yet to see proof that he is Catholic or holds the correct values for a major catholic university.
He's been a UWM life guy. Seems to be way outside of his perceived career arc, which eould be taking over for ray cross as us system president ( he sits on the uw board) when Ray rights the ship and retires.
Lovell is a great hire .. another (former) neighbor of mu_hilltopper until UWM bought a new Chancellor's Residence ..

Yeah UWM stuff, I guess we may have the preconceived notion that we are superior to UWM, in which case we would prefer to find candidates for positions other places.
However, based on track record, the hires have been excellent. Additionally, hiring someone from the area likely increases the odds they stick around and they appreciate the culture more than a transplant.

Well, if a nationwide search leads to UWM, you did something wrong.
And what evidence is there that he is a "devout" Catholic? Hopefully, he'll have the university adhere to Catholic teaching. MU could sure use as dose of that if it's true.

A Chanclellor from a publicly-funded school seems an odd choice for President of a private university where a good deal of his responsibilities will involve raising money instead of spending tax dollars.
He is very well connected to the MKE Corporate community and as an engineer probably a better person to relate to a lot of the privately held manufacturing and other companies in Wisconsin than an attorney

I'm disappointed and a little embarrassed. If MU was to hire internally, they'd say that we already have the best minds at the university. If we hire externally, we should have gotten someone with a strong (ivy) resume, not someone from 3 miles away after a 'national search'. By Comparison REBECCA BLANK WAS A FUCKING FORMER SECRETARY OF COMMERCE and now she's UW chancellor. We get a former UWM professor.

Gotta be fair. Gotta give him five...errrr...six years before you judge.
This certainly shows a commitment to the engineering program. That's not a bad thing.

Yeah, not sure what to make of this hire for Marquette. Looks like he has a good resume.
Well, considering it's neither Greg Gard nor Saul Phillips it's no shock you're not sure what to make of this hire.

We passed on the Dean of the Law School who has strong Ivy resume.
See my post above and thanks for proving my statement "if he is from WI he must suck."
Regarding Rebecca Blank (side note, I hate her "Friday" song) ... lots of articles and criticism that hiring politicians as University presidents has not worked that well for many. They are hacks (not saying she is, saying it in general). They hire them because they can work the capital building for tax dollars. It's a money grab.

Well, if a nationwide search leads to UWM, you did something wrong.
And what evidence is there that he is a "devout" Catholic? Hopefully, he'll have the university adhere to Catholic teaching. MU could sure use as dose of that if it's true.
Please ::)
Quote from: mu_hilltopper on March 26, 2014, 08:18:49 AM
I've always wondered what that means to people, "adhere to Catholic teaching." The only time religion came up in my 4 years at MU was during THEO classes .. maybe a few moments in a Business Ethics class.
Where do (did) you people find religion in MU's academic class time? Was there an engineering class where the Prof stopped for a moment and pondered what the Pope said about volts and amps?
Obviously he'll need to ban meat in the dorm cafeterias on Fridays during Lent.
Hugely important part of the Marquette experience.

I think the idea that UW presidents being politicians only works if youre in proximity to the cap, and even then at UWisconsin, a lot of that work is delegated to the system president, system board, and lobbyists. Blank might have connections to federal research dollars, but UW is still in line for a ton of that And again Lovell's career arc seemed destined for UW system not for a private university.
Perhaps I should reel in embarrassed a little bit. But still, disappointed. Lovell has an underwhelming resume and is from the university a few blocks away. And bringing a public university guy to a private school might prove to be a bit of a challenge. MU only receives some state funding for the dental school and doesnt have access to funding and grants from the state that UWM does.

Maybe it's just you that they hate. Can't imagine why :-[

A Special Message from Chancellor Lovell
March 26, 2014
Dear UWM Campus Community,
It is with mixed emotions that I would like to inform you that later today I will be introduced as the first lay President of Marquette University, effective August 1, 2014.
My decision to step down as Chancellor of UW-Milwaukee has been the most difficult one of my professional career. I know that many of you will be surprised by my decision. Those closest to me, however, know how important my Catholic faith is in my life, and having the ability to integrate my religious life with my professional life is something that I always wanted to do in my career.
When I accepted the full-time position of Chancellor in 2011, I never anticipated leaving UWM for a position at another university in Wisconsin. Several months ago, when I was approached by Marquette about its presidency, I declined because I could not imagine leaving UWM at that time. But in recent weeks, as several people asked me to keep an open mind, I began to hear a calling to serve at an institution where I could more openly share my Catholic faith.
My decision has been extremely difficult because of my love for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and my tremendous respect for the faculty, staff and students of our campus. I believe in the core mission of UWM. Over the past six years, I have had the privilege to serve a great university whose reputation continues to grow both nationally and internationally. I have publicly stated and firmly believe that UWM has the most innovative and entrepreneurial faculty and staff that I have ever encountered. Great things are being accomplished at every corner of our campus with minimal resources, and that is a tribute to the strong commitment of our faculty and staff to serve our students and the people of the state of Wisconsin. Because of the dedication and hard work of our faculty and staff, I could not be prouder to lead UWM, and this is what has made my decision so difficult.
I want you to know that I will continue to serve the university and strongly advocate for more resources for our campus until my term ends this summer. With the support of UW System President Ray Cross, I will remain at UWM until the end of July so that I can help the campus complete work on several projects that are critical to our future. Along with finishing the academic plan, strategic plan and new budget model, I will complete my work on the UW System's Budget Allocation Model Working Group and further the efforts of the UWM Strategic Enrollment Management Council.
In closing, I would like to thank everyone at UWM for your efforts to make this a great university. I have been proud to serve as your leader for the last three and a half years, and I am confident that UWM will continue to make significant strides to become a top-tier research university that is a great place to learn and work. I will continue to promote UWM and spread the word about the great things being accomplished by our campus even after I am no longer Chancellor. I will also work hard to strengthen and build partnerships between UWM and Marquette, as I believe that by working together, Milwaukee's two largest four-year academic institutions will help address many of Milwaukee's problems, drive growth within the region and increase the prestige of both universities.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Lovell
Chancellor
I like the hire. He has relationships in the city already. Will be able to put that to good use. And while UWM may not be as prestigious, it is a much larger more complex university to run. He has done a great job there and will be able to be successful at MU.
Plus, he seems much more relatable to students than our past president.

I find that pretty funny.
I love the way people think that talent can't be down the street and has to come from far away.
For those worried about his resume, I thought Apollo 13 was a great movie, and hell, 7th Street is already named after him!
Sounds like a good hire
Does this mean the UWM v. MU basketball "rivalry" will return?
Well, he ain't meetin' with Shaka today, aina?
I'm not going to knock the hire because I don't know enough about him, but is this concerning to anyone else:
"But in recent weeks, as several people asked me to keep an open mind"
This all happened in a few weeks?
From an engineering perspective, MU has improved the perception of the school over the last decade IMHO. I base that on the number of people from MU that intern and work where I'm at (I'm not always in Tel Aviv).
But....there's already a specialty engineering school in Milwaukee...MSOE. It's wayyyyy better of a program. Now, the one school that I think/perceive MU to be known for is the Law school. So, I'm surprised they went with more of an engineering background versus legal one.
Also, I'm sorry, but call it my MU snootiness, but I thumb my nose at UWM. I know a lot of people that went there and that place from an academic standpoint....I don't have a ton of respect for. That's me and my perception, and perception is reality.

Yup. Now they're our neighbors. That's my kiddo trick or treating there (name drop name drop name drop, lol). Seriously though- The husband just texted me to see if I could whip up some blue and gold cupcakes to take over there when he gets home from work. Yup, I'll get right on that while I'm home all day with 3 very small children (actually if I can get the baby and the 2 year old napping together in the afternoon, I'll enlist the 4 year old, and see what we can do).

Very strong. The hire has potential to be a great hire. I like the idea of building the across town relationship and think both institutions could benefit if they play off each others strengths and weaknesses. I know neither will have a say in what the other does, but there certainly will be benefits to a stronger relationship between the two for the community as a whole. Eng. Dean Bob Bishop and the University have done a great job with the Eng. School and this hire should help the program continue to move in a positive direction.

Yes, as is the case with every other Tier I law school. Those days are coming to an end though. Tuition is completely out of whack with market demand and several law schools have already started reducing tuition for incoming classes. Not to mention the feds are up to their ears in student loan financing and will turn to law schools to wonder why the F they're charging so much still...but I digress.

I think it would be hard to pry him away too. I doubt he would go anywhere. He loves the law school. He loves being there. He has had chances to move on and has not. I'm kinda glad he's staying there...Big for the law school, for certain.

Also FYI - just talked to UWM student/friend of mine - "Yeah, that guy's bright and really smart, but is sooooo socially awkward. A typical engineer. Choked away our graduation speech last year. Just not a good public speaker or person to interact with."
I know it's one guy but....ladies and gentlemen...our new MU President in charge of getting donations!!!!

Yes, as is the case with every other Tier I law school. Those days are coming to an end though. Tuition is completely out of whack with market demand and several law schools have already started reducing tuition for incoming classes. Not to mention the feds are up to their ears in student loan financing and will turn to law schools to wonder why the F they're charging so much still...but I digress.
Not to change the topic but....In what century is The MU Law School Tier one? Tier One is top 50 and MU is near the bottom of tier 2 and was tier 3 in 2010. Don't get me wrong it's a great school if you want to practice in Milwaukee but outside the Chicago-Milwaukee area there's no name value to be an MU Law grad for hiring purposes.
Whomever was in charge of this should have been in charge of bigeast.org over the offseason.

I think it would be hard to pry him away too. I doubt he would go anywhere. He loves the law school. He loves being there. He has had chances to move on and has not. I'm kinda glad he's staying there...Big for the law school, for certain.
That's good to hear. I didn't really know much about him until recently. Sounds like a real strength for MU

Nice, timely update, well done.
Was the 5 MB photo really necessary? Like, am I supposed to print it out and make a poster or something? Unless it's a hot chick without much clothing, pictures just don't need to be that big.

Mistaken terminology on my part. You are correct, sir.

The quick announcement forced by Brent's departure and the head hunt from UWM both don't sit great with me. However, with publications like this on his CV:
The Response of Balls Undergoing Oscillatory Motion: Crossing From Boundary to Mixed Lubrication Regimes
I think he's a keeper. But seriously, as an eng grad I'm happy to see an engineer with ME and BioE experience in as President. The law school is probably a big cash cow. Does the snub mean the law school dean will move on soon?
Jaybee was a grad assistant on this project.

I didn't see the article until after I made my post but i'm glad he "prays everyday"
I'm disappointed and a little embarrassed. If MU was to hire internally, they'd say that we already have the best minds at the university. If we hire externally, we should have gotten someone with a strong (ivy) resume, not someone from 3 miles away after a 'national search'. By Comparison REBECCA BLANK WAS A unnatural carnal knowledgeING FORMER SECRETARY OF COMMERCE and now she's UW chancellor. We get a former UWM professor.
You are embarrassingly ignorant when it comes to academia. Seriously. Don't comment on something that you evidently don't know anything about.

Wouldn't it be awesome if he ended his speech today with "GO WARRIORS!" The place would go nuts!
Guys, please stop judging the quality of academic and bureaucratic appointments of a university by the reputation of the average undergraduate from that university.
By equating the two, you are wrong. And the confidence with which you make such claims also makes you look silly.

This is a quality hire and much better than I thought we would get. Solid Academic background, Experience and already lives in Milwaukee and understands the culture surrounding MU and embraces it.
Hopefully, this will provide a foundation to our coaching search.

Speaking to a very large audience of barely post teenagers that are probably hung over and their proud parents is a vastly different skill set than engaging affluent and connected individuals one on one. To assume one assures or does assure an ability to do the other is folly.
Additionally, Dr Bishop, the dean of engineering is an "engineer" and not necessarily a great public speaker(he's average) but one on one and in small groups he is fantastic and that is also reflected in all the donations that he and team have been able to pull into that college.
I really can't articulate if this is a good hire or not, but on paper and from afar it looks like a solid hire. I look forward to seeing him in action and hopefully he will be a very impactful leader

Favorite book: The Perfect Mile by Neal Bascomb
Favorite hobby: Running and triathlons
The perfect Mile is about Roger Bannister ... runners like him (and me) that read this book, and part-take in early morning interval training (I do too) think Bannister breaking the 4 minute mile was not a sporting milestone but one of the great achievements in human history.
What I'm saying is he is one of "those," like me. He lives for hitting the wall, riding the lava field, admires Comrades and Badwater. Barefoot or socks? Galen Rupp is a god. Duel in the sun! Oregon project.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, this is all good, very very good! MU made a spectacular hire!!

I'm pretty happy that a lay person is running Marquette. I think its a solid move for the school.

What are you running from?
Why don't you get strong so you can turn around and fight?
j/k - I don't really care what you do for physical fitness
It's more than exercise, its a way of life, a prism to look at the world. To put it another way, readers of the Perfect Mile and list running and tris as their hobby might say they are Catholic, but that is not their real religion.
Again, this is good, very very good.
Maybe MU will start getting recruits from St. Patrick ... Iten Kenya.
I think we have a new contender...

Quote from: MU Curler on March 26, 2014, 07:08:01 AM
I got my master's from UWM, and also work there. Academically, getting Lovell is a much bigger coup for Marquette than people probably realize. He's been involved in numerous high profile efforts at UWM, from Innovation Campus in Tosa, to one of only four Freshwater Sciences schools in the country, to a new Public Health building, to higher research emphases and funding, to more competitive incoming classes, etc.
Sports-wise, it's hard to say. UWM is obviously no MU when it comes to funding on that side, but I hope he realizes that basketball is not going away at Marquette.
