Not getting in done in the classroom either - we are #100

While this board is mainly about sports with a heavy dose of football, some us do care a lot about the academic side of the University - at least I do. In a recent study published here in Jacksonville, UT ranked 100 in top public universities. Michigan was number one

.

I post this because I think there is a direct correlation in the chaos of our athletics department and the poor management of the University in general. Below is the ranking in the South - we are still number 30 even in our own region. Sad. Yes, there are some strengths (MBA top 22, accounting and supply chain departments top 10) but I firmly believe we are not moving forward in a big way until we get some leadership and better decision making. I am not and have not been a fan of the current President, who in my opinion is awol from most major decisions. He seems to manage from behind.
