UMass to seek strong leader
(Springfield Republican)
The university's search committee is looking for someone with a "track record," the paper says. Also - I'm just guessing here - someone who works well in a fast-paced environment.
That's something just about every want ad says now, isn't it? "Must work well in a fast-paced environment." How many guys do you figure show up for job interviews and say, "Naww, Dude, I'm looking for something in a slow-paced environment"? I don't know anybody who works in a slow-paced environment any more except, maybe, mattress testers.
And wait! There's more!
After the meeting, Wilson [that'd be Jack Wilson, the university president] said he is looking for a leader for the flagship, but does not see the leadership limited to the Amherst campus [UMass has a campus in Boston too].
"The flagship is not a solo act," he said. "The flagship leads a fleet; it's part of a team."
So somebody else can lead the university - you get to lead the fleet! That's what I call a good deal, Bunky. Maybe you ought to call Jack.
