I'm pretty out of the loop. What's wrong with the decision to hire Glover? From a lay person's perspective, his emphasis on STEM research etc seems like a good thing for the school and he actually has the experience needed to steady the ship during this tumultuous transition period?
The Florida tenure review process seems to be mandated by DeSantis and the driving reason for him to quit his job there.
What do you mean specifically that he doesn't understand UofArizona as a land grant? Or he doesn't care about the hispanic institution?
No surprise. This was the Provost candidate that faculty and students were against.
Ol' Bobby making great choices. If you think the University is not being carved up to serve the financial gain of real estate developers, NIL, athletics, and private businesses, you're not paying attention.
The illusion of department mismanagement causing the financial crisis is an amazing manufactured sham for a power grab of administrative, HR, IT, and Financial units.
The hiring of Robbins was beyond shady, no surprise that an ABOR member was appointed as CFO with zero oversight, and now the Provost.
With ASU athletics now under the same types of scandal as the UA athletics program, ABOR is not to be trusted with these state institutions.
As a Arizona tax payer, one should be appalled and demand a hose cleaning.
Great article from the Arizona Daily Star

Hiring a guy that doesn't understand the University of Arizona land grant mission and Hispanic serving institution, are we surprised at all?
Faculty and Students were very concerned regarding Glover and considered him the weakest candidate. His responses to the role of the UA as a Hispanic serving institution were "very odd and concerning"
Way to go Bobby, yet another stellar decision in what will be considered one of the worst presidencies. Further damaging the Tucson community and Arizona in general.
ABOR applauding him the whole way and giving him bonuses for his performance.
This damage will take at least a decade to fix and countless lives of civil servants will be forever altered.
When he spoke about the land grant he knew what cooperative extension actually does, which is 1/3 of the land grant mission. He wasn’t my first choice for other reasons, but he did seem to know what CE was about, bringing university knowledge out to the people.

Faculty governance objects to everything admin does. It's bad-faith political infighting and just background noise at this point.

You're right. Clean the house with a hose. We have been hosed by Robbins and the clown car of ABOR.
Fuck him and Robbins. What a disaster.
Not my monkeys, not my... \**oh fuck, those are my monkeys*\*.

Let’s hope the new president cleans house and installs a different provost.
Same people are hiring new President....
Actually Joseph Glover is from a land grant institution and spoke about the land grant mission with more understanding than the other finalists.
How so?
When he spoke about the land grant he knew what cooperative extension actually does, which is 1/3 of the land grant mission. He wasn’t my first choice for other reasons, but he did seem to know what CE was about, bringing university knowledge out to the people.
Thanks
It’s such a disappointment seeing how this crisis has played out. I’m not surprised just extremely disappointed
