re: Auburn Getting a New President?

quote:

---

Leath was linked to trips and business deals that called into question his use of influence his role as a university president, such as hobnobbing with celebrities and political connections beyond normal duties. But more troublesome are reports such as a possible real estate deal with a regent who served as his boss, and Leath’s hiring of his flight instructor to a high-paying university position. What convinced the Auburn board that a past pattern of such questionable decision-making at Iowa State is good for Auburn University now? Auburn University is among the state’s most revered institutions. The Auburn family is known for its close-knit bond and unifying goals. The Auburn academic potential for influence, impact and accomplishment is without limit. Is Steven Leath worthy of the honor to lead Auburn University?
