Pottsie got a vote of No Confidence at his previous job before getting ousted as the Chancellor as well. Maybe they should hire someone who hasn't been fired recently for this position.

How do Boards of Regents work in states that have them, i.e. are the members elected, governor-appointed, etc.?
I think it varies from place to place and the practices aren't necessarily consistent with the names they use to describe the boards.
In VA, where there was a recent controversy over a coupe at UVA, each school has a Board of Visitors appointed by the Governor, subject to Senate confirmation. In the face of reduced state funding about 8 years ago, and having the benefit of the 2nd largest endowment of any public university in the country UVA exchanged a reduced state role and funding for more autonomy. Despite that fact the Board of Visitors remains and certain of its members ousted the President last year only to see her reinstated after massive campus outcry and revelations of undue influence of a very narrow sliver of alumni over the Board of Visitors. The state Senate is currently considering the reappointment of one of Board members central to the coupe. It seems like even when you've got $5 billion of your own money and the state has agreed to largely butt out of your business, it's still tough to keep the politicians out of university affairs.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
Shirvani was a very stupid hire. He was practically run off from several previous positions. I don't know what the hell they expected by hiring him. Shirvani is a disaster and Bresciani is a disaster. One down....one to go.
I understand Shirvani being a poor hire because of his ragged record at other universities but can someone fill us in specifically why this bill was introduced. They're not firing him cause he was poor at his last job. What triggered this action?

The Esteemed Legislator from Tioga weighs in on the Chancellor situation. He might be a Douche but he's a powerful one and it appears he is in Shirvani's corner.
