I don't know. Cornell is an Ivy with a lot of ties in the northeast. At almost $6 billion in endowment last year, they have more money than we do by a good shot.
This whole thing was weird. I participated in the presidential search last year, answering questions they sent over about what I thought was important and so on. Not that I am anybody who's opinion matters to anyone, but they did do a lot of work to ultimately do nothing last fall. Then this time around, it seems they took very little input until they had three candidates (the third of which didn't seem to really be under serious consideration), and it seemed Fuchs was far and away the frontrunner from the moment they publicly announced it.
Fuchs sounds like a good pick. Higher education is in such a transitional period right now that I would almost rather be Will Muschamp dealing with fans that a university president trying to figure out where to steer the ship.

Was Fuchs born in the South? If not, we just keep perpetuating the notion that we are covered up with Yankees.
