It’s hard to imagine mishandling this as badly as she has. She’s lost any trust she ever had with the alumni. You have to let her go & bring in someone new to start over.
I understand the reasoning, but man, adding Alcorn would be such a tax on us.
If they did it the right way (get rid of 75% of Alcorn administration) it wouldn't be bad. Streamline administration and increase professors and you're on to something. Sadly, they would never, so you're right.
It's kind of like school systems, some counties have 3 or 4 of them in just 1 county which means duplicate administrators and lots of wasted money spent on them instead of the kids in the systems. There's 152 school systems in MS in only 82 counties
152 School systems (not just schools) Each with their own Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Transportation Director, Maintenance Director, Etc and staff, plus kin folks .
Alcorn County has 2, the county school district (made up of 3 high schools and their associated middle and elementary schools) and the city of Corinth School District with 1 high school (and its associated middle and elementary schools). I guess I assumed most counties in Mississippi had the same county vs city setup.
Ahh, got you. I thought that was low.
You cut those school districts in half( Tippah County-Ripley has 3 districts) that is a lot of $$$ that could go to the actual schools.
I don't know if this is still the case but at one point Bolivar County had six school districts
Florida Population: 22 million
Honestly, "The W, Mississippi's University" would be a pretty solid and unique name.
Wild. I just looked up Texas.
Monroe county has three school districts, two city, Amory and Aberdeen, and one county district. The county district has three different school systems in it K through 12.
Of course this will become less and less of a factor in the next decade or so but 50 years ago a lot of the student body at the W was made up of young women from very wealthy and affluent families. Many of these young women went on to marry men who became very successful and wealthy and many of those women have now inherited their own family's money. My point is that while that was along time ago those ladies (and their husbands) are only in their early seventies and have a lot of wealth, influence and pride in their Alma Mater. So these aren't just "mad women" these are mad women with money and power.
With all due respect to Ohio State, they don't have a trademark on "The".
