Doty one of 2 finalists

Date: Apr 5, 2005

So, is one to assume that Doty was not one of the first 4 finalists? If so, then he's a 2nd tier candidate at a 4th tier university.

Some interesting things:

So, the endowment of the Coggin College of Business at UNF ($23 mill) is about 2/3 the size of USM's total endowment ($35 mill). That's very interesting. Many of you have wondered by SFT hasn't put energy toward an endowment for the U overall.

The benefits of an endowment are largely future-oriented. The benefits from grants and contracts are now-oriented. That should clear it up (i.e., he and his friends aren't future-here people).

What happened to the first group of candidates? They had 5/4 finalists, Doty wasn't there, and they were scheduling visits. What's up?

Now they are in an abbreviated, secondary placement situation?

He leaves tomorrow, till Monday it looks like. I noticed the other candidate writes in a less formal way to the search chair.

What is the story on this? Has Doty been forced to seek another job by thames, is this a result of his seeing this administration's incompetence, or a combination of both?

Budget cuts, if they come, could really hurt us.

Another missionary to spread the USM gospel --- looks like the Jacksonville Beach area is covered.

So, the first candidate's visit ends today also. This process could go quickly. By April 22 or so the word could be out.
