He should have been fired when we lost R1 designation. As far as I know, no one was fired over that debacle.
Not commenting on the firing opinion. Just for the record, State first gained R1 status in 2010 (under Keenum, he started in 2009, not saying his leadership led to that status, because I don’t know) R1 status was lost during the 2015 cycle (Research activity itself did not fall; the classification was based on a change in the metrics used during that cycle, which pissed many universities off. State wasn’t the only one to lose status.). State regained and has held R1 status since with the 2018 cycle. The cycles aren’t set times either. It’s whenever the Carnegie Foundation thinks it’s necessary.

Maybe the republicans should've replaced CHS with him****
The irony here is that the MSU presidency was the final piece of the immaculate resume for Keenum until Thad got ready to retire, at which time he would get the Senatorial appt by the sitting governor. That got botched when a certain powerful Mississippi based lobby for whatever reason decided CHS was the pick. Two disasters in one.

I realize I’m getting old, but never as much as in threads wanting to get rid of Keenum. It’s beyond obvious most of you never experienced MSU under the influence of a president with no MSU ties, beholden to a college board under the dominance of Ole Miss grads.

By reading this thread and knowing little about the ihl, it reads to me like they are of the same value of the ncaa which tells me the ihl needs to defunct itself and let BOT run the universities independently. Again, I know nothing but that’s what I get from it.
