I'm disappointed that Hugh is not a candidate for the permanent position

He's comfortable, confident, and a steady hand in the role. Would have liked to have him for 4 years, not just 2. That office is constantly swamped with internal and external people/groups pushing their own specific agendas and/or strategies they think the university should pursue. Hope the next president isn't intimidated and keeps Sherman around in an advisory roles of some sort to continue the current momentum/plans.

Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

I agree. I wonder, in the end, if they might decided he's the best person for the job, and reverse course. Stranger things have happened.

Quote:

Sherman said that some schools, such a Cincinnati, Miami and OU, will probably do well this year. Ohio State University continued to stay flat.

�Then you�ll see other schools that have really struggled these last couple years,� he said. �Some of the publics too that are still declining. ... There�s more reason to make sure that you�re adding value to the student experience, so that they understand why you come to Ohio and not go to University of Baltimore.

�I see that bifurcation. I think for those schools that are struggling and they have a high discount rate, they�re in more financial trouble and right now. We�re not. We are sitting with a very strong balance sheet.�

Another good article with lots of quotes from the president. Also points that enrollment gains have been at the expense of OSU in accordance with my equilibrium enrollment theory.
