USF's New President 5/17/2022 5:36:00 PM
The University of South Florida selected a community leader for President. The University of South Florida in Tampa can't get it right. A university president can't be a local lawyer or local politician, or a tyrant who is a scholar in name only. Why does the new leader of an emerging state university in the heart of central Florida have a Juris Doctor not even an advanced law degree?
A few years back USF picked a woman with a Masters degree.
Back when my dad ran the medical school in the 1980s USFs leader was John Lott Brown a world renowned scholar with degrees in engineering and psychology not to mention a Columbia PhD.
My dad had even more prestigious credentials than Brown. His long resume included a paper with his name in the title (Szentivanyis Hypothasis of Asthma). President Rea Law might turn out to be the greatest thing since sliced bread but outside Tampa nobody ever heard of her and famous people want to be recruited by famous people.
My dad recruited a guy who made the cover of Time, a former Chair of Pathology from the ivy league, and a Nobelist.
