The Search Resumes at Missouri

Filed in archive Jobs in Academia by Greg Cruey on December 02, 2007

The Chronicle of Higher Education had an almost humorous story recently about an obstacle in the path of the University of Missouri's search committee as it looks for a new president: football.

Evidently the committee's work was progressing acceptably until the school's football team took over the No. 1 ranking in college football. At that point the search committee was suddenly buried in requests from interested applicants who wanted to be Mizzou's next president. LOL.

The Associated Press says that the search committee decided to take a few weeks off and wait for the dust to settle.

Since the Oklahoma Sooners altered Mizzou's metaphorical anatomy ("ripped them a new one") on national television last night, I guess the search committee can now continue with the process of interviewing serious applicants. After all, Mizzou has been without a president for eight months.

None of the candidates for the job are likely to be involved in the Bowl Championship Serieslinks standings; most of them had strokes last night watching both the No.1 and the No. 2 teams go by the wayside.
