You mean Chip Pickering, the former US Congressman that ran on a platform of family values and quit congress to go work for a Lobbyist while leaving his wife and 5 (yes FIVE) kids for his mistress that he has supposedly been romantic with since college?

Sad.

Looks like the Chancellor's Residence still has the three hole golf course behind his house.



The Phi Tau's may or may not have used to get fricked up and hit golf balls at his house.

this may be a good hire


It's not and won't be. He wasn't even on the list of candidates. A list that actually had highly qualified candidates that would have been home run hires. There were rumors floating about this potentially happening and everyone spoke out against it. I have not seen one positive response to this hiring.

Yep, people were publicly voicing their concerns that this very thing would happen last month. This was one of the most corrupt processes that I've seen take place. The IHL didn't even try to hide what they were doing.

I've hung out with that dude fairly extensively and he is awesome in person, politics aside.

Apparently it’s getting weird at the naming ceremony. Protestors and chanting and all that. Sounds like a tense situation.


ETA: some smoke about Boyce backing out. I don’t blame him

I know Glenn personally.
I am not angry about anything so I can be unbiased. Would it calm your nerves that he turned it down more than once going back months? IHL trimmed the list from 35 to 8; not Boyce. Maybe it was shady. I really don't know. It might be though, Ole Miss got the best guy out of the 9 (8 short list plus him).

Guy hasn’t even taken the job yet and you’re out here claiming it is a shite hire.

You have no idea how it will turn out. No clue.

Are you the same guy who convicts the suspect the same day he is arrested? Trial be damned, amirite?

I’m pretty apathetic about the whole situation, but the issue isn’t necessarily with Boyce. He may turn out to be a great hire.

The problem is the back door, change of process, that the IHL pulled to sneak him in.

He could be the best candidate, but then why not let the process play out in public like planned? Why secretly vote to give him the job halfway through the planned hiring process? Why not at least make him even apply for the job?

I cannot answer these questions. Apparently the IHL was satisfied with his candidacy.

So you missed the part where he turned it down more than once, I guess.

I know, but that's why people are upset. IHL publically announced a plan, and then within 24 hours changed it all and made a final decision without any additional input.
