Auburn hires new president - Iowa State's Steven Leath

quote:

Since 2012, Leath has led Iowa State, one of the nation's top research institutions with an international reputation in science and technology. While president, Iowa State achieved its highest student graduation rate, lowered student debt, grew research expenditures, set fundraising records and secured the university's largest private gift for an academic facility.





quote:

Leath has recently been under fire for his use of university aircraft at Iowa State.

Last month, officials decided against filing criminal charges against Leath following an investigation into whether he broke the law with his use of school aircraft.

That review began after an audit found Leath used university planes for medical appointments in Minnesota, personal flight lessons and trips home to North Carolina. He has now reimbursed the university for the flights.

I posed this question in a thread a few months ago, which hire was optically worse: LSU hiring yaw yaw or Auburn hiring 5-18 Chiz? Auburn got raked over the coals for hiring him over Turner Gill (lol)

Pretty sure she was at Alabama in HES for something like 20 years before she was promoted. She's at Mississippi State now.

LOL - you are so sad.

He's the Vice Chancellor for Economic Development for The University of Alabama System. He's basically a government liason. Considering he was Chairman of the House Ethics Committee, member of the House Appropriations Committee and on the Financial Services Subcommittee I'd say he's fully qualified for the job.

But please, carry on with your antics.

You are so damn predictable. Always trying to flip the tables to UA.

How do you feel about AU hiring Leath? Who were the other candidates for the AU Prez?

got to love that they didnt include that the investigation concluded nothing was done wrong

After a several-month investigation into Iowa State University President Steven Leath's use of university aircraft, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation has found no evidence of Leath committing any crime.

If you really wanted to turn the tables on bammer, you could bring up the baby bear. A guy who has had business partners sentenced to 15 years in federal prison. A little worse than this guy flying some state plane. A lot of people think baby bear avoided a similar sentence only because of his last name

Hopefully that guy who greeted Chiz at the airport has moved on and won't be there to greet this guy.
