DEVELOPING: UT PRESIDENT’S JOB MAY BE IN JEOPARDY

posted by paulburka at 7:31 PM

A source tells me that UT president Bill Powers may be in danger of losing his job as a result of his opposition to Governor Perry’s insistence on a tuition freeze. After the Perry-appointed regents approved the freeze, Powers expressed strong opposition to the decision, stating, “I am disappointed that our very thoughtful proposal, every penny of which would have gone to students’ success which itself will keep the cost of higher education down, was not adopted.”

I do not have an official confirmation, but I was told that the situation is fluid and may be happening as I write. My understanding, based on what a source with knowledge of the proceedings has conveyed, is that Regents’ chairman Gene Powell asked Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa to recommend that Powers be fired. Cigarroa refused. The next step will likely be a special meeting of the board to take action. I have no indication that notice of the meeting has been posted.

I will continue to make attempts to confirm this report. If it is accurate, the impact on the university’s reputation could be devastating. UT will have to undertake the search for a new president at a time when top-grade candidates will be unlikely to be attracted to a position that is subject to political pressure.

Major donors will flip their shit if this happens. UT has had a pretty good run of presidents (who have to fundraise, gladhandle, and smooth tensions among the academics there), but if we have to find one ITE because of fucking SECESSIONIST PIECE OF SHIT rick perry THE KNOWN BUTTFUCKING AGGY, we will end up hiring some community college graduate OH FUCK THEY SHOULD HIRE ME

I'm all for keeping private school tuition to reasonable levels, but $10k tuition is definitely not enough to keep up a university. And low state-school sticker prices mostly end up helping the upper-middle-class students anyway.

A. Your tuition was massively subsidized; they should have a sticker that reflects the true cost and then improve financial aid for lower-middle class kids.

B. Having done a MS at a flagship state school after Ivy UG, I can say this place is SPS and underfunded.
