Pilarz to step down

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Is it a given that the new prez will be a male or a Jesuit? Just axin'.

Go all in. Hire a lesbian.

crap...i always asked willie what he was going to do if buzz didn't meet his demand of landing 5 star bigs.  take this as your one and only warning buzz...your next.

just read that pilz lived in a dorm with students...didn't go to mu for my undergrad...how the hell does a priest live in a dorm?  would have been enough to get me to move, but i'd definitely send my niece to mu if i can get her a room next to a nun.

What was the name of that priest that lived in the 'lanche?

kinda went down that path already

[4everwarriors]

Why? Is Ellen Degeneres available?

[The Process]

What was the name of that priest that lived in the 'lanche?

All of them.

[MU Chi_IL]

Pope Francis to Marquette is what I hear.

He wants the bling of a NC Ring, the papal seal is so blah.

All joking aside, I would assume something not good is going on, so a pray is probably in order.

[79Warrior]

What was the name of that priest that lived in the 'lanche?

We called him Fr. Drink

[Lennys Tap]

Why? Is Ellen Degeneres available?

She could coach the dance team (Intesity, or was it Immensity?) in her spare time.

Conventional Wisdom suggest Tim Lannon of Creighton to replace. Former MU guy. Been on the Board of Directors at MU for a few years now too.

Maybe, but Lannon was a Creighton guy long before he was ever a MU guy.  And, he got the Creighton gig right after Pilarz was announced in '10--so may have been that was his preference.  Also not sure if he'd want to switch gigs again this soon.

The talented liturgical music writer and musician, Dan Schuette, FORMERLY SJ, lived in a dorm.   Note the 'formerly'.  

[mr.MUskie]

Is he taking Larry with him?

[avid1010]

i predict buzz's father-in-law gets the job...

A lot of the Jesuits live in the dorms.  There's almost one in every res hall at MU.  They have bigger apartments than just typical dorm rooms.  And, I think Pilarz specifically chose to live in a dorm instead of the JesRes.

Father Pilarz lives in Campustown.

i'm not one for organized religion...but it's a cool gesture.

that said, i'm not picturing how that would work.  i was far from crazy in college but girls overnight and swearing like a sailor at any sporting event on tv was minimal behavior. 

[GOO]

Yea, that seems really bizarre to me. Anyone got any behind the scenes information
speculation
rumors
gossip
complete b.s. that will fuel scoop for weeks?

Great post. Very funny.

I doubt there is a true scandal. He wouldn't be Pres for months longer
if there was a selasious scandal waiting to cone out.

My bs guess is he was in over his head with too many demands.

I don't think he ever lived in McCormick, he wanted to but I believe he was persuaded otherwise. I'm pretty sure he lives in Campus town.

Zingy's wife is available.

Goose, you're alive!

I hear Fr. P is just going fishing.  He slays them with jigs and crawlers.

[forgetful]

They actually just updated the bylaws to allow for a layperson when they hired Pilarz. So no, it doesn't have to be. But I'd assume they'd give Jesuits preference everything else being equal

Probably, not a bad idea to go with a layperson.  The primary job of most university presidents is to have a lot of connections to help raise money.  Being of the cloth reduces the connections one builds from a career in business.

To move to the next level of institutions MU really needs to build its endowment, a layperson president could facilitate that.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

He lives on the 4th floor in Campus Town East. (Down the hall from my buddies) Whover the new president is I really hope they are much kinder to greek life then Wild and Pilarz ever were.
