UWM Chancellor named MU President

[Ari Gold]

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 ..

1) We've yet to see how successful he'll be
2) You didn't say "Bing Satya Nadella"

Good one!

And he won't be successfully.  Because when his bio says UWM the "WI brain" is automatically programmed to say "sucks and will fail."

 Curriculum Vitae, it is what you call you resume if you make more than $25,000/yr.



+10000000 I'm literally laughing out loud in the office!!!! Thanks for brightening my day.

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.

It does seem like a good 80 percent of people in Milwaukee hate marquette for some reason.

Not Marquette per se........they hate Chicago. See the connection?

I don't know if you're aware of it but the interweb has this fancy thing called Google.  You should check it out.

Why do you people keep calling it the interweb.  It is the internet.

[mechaghidorah]

It's the Wisconsin Inferiority Complex.  If it's from here it must suck.

Good thing Microsoft did not think like some of you here (Google Satya Nadella)

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.

Yeah, not sure what to make of this hire for Marquette.  Looks like he has a good resume.

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?

wow, a lot of people waking up feeling bitter this morning. It's going to be a long day - pace yourself.

People will always find something to complain about. LW is a domer, Pilarz doesn't care about bball, etc...

I'm sure if we do get Shaka people will be on here complaining we didn't get Howland instead.

Tell that to Microsoft and they conducted a worldwide search

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.

[PBRme]

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

Dammit, KB, he's a mechanical engineer, not electrical.

And I happen to have found God many times in engineering classes. "Dear God, please let me pass this course"

See the article that topper linked. If you're not convinced, go keep an eye out for him at Holy Family this weekend.

A UWM life guy? 6 years makes someone a lifer now? I CAN'T BELIEVE BUZZ LEFT HE'S A MU LIFE GUY.

+1.  Only through divine intervention did many of us get degrees!

BoT can't shock us twice in one day can it...

Sur 'nough

[Tugg Speedman]

Has their been an official announcement as to what time this will happen?  Will MUTV stream it

(I'm wondering if he will take questions ... I wonder what the first or second one will be???)

You can do it....and appreciate the fact that these guys have the same neighborhood tastes as you, Novak, etc.   All good
