Dr. Donde Plowman Her CV is here - http://tennessee.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Plowman-CV.pdf IMO, this is a two to three year plug. Otherwise I can't give you a single reason we bring in an almost 70 year old who has never served as a Chancellor before.............. Then again, this is UT.
My thought is that Keith Carver is being fully groomed for this position at Martin and isn't quite ready to take the reins yet. Nor do I think he wants to uproot family until his youngest is out of high school. Side note - his son is one of the top kickers in the nation for the 2021 class.
I met this woman about seven years ago . She spoke to our class. Seemed nice. Her research was well-written and meaningless.
having worked in both, the real world of large corporations and the fake world of academia are really not that different.
It was a joke, but I did have an experience with a professor once, it was in the auditorium at the student center, chemistry I think, I guess a person yawned, and the professor went off on this kid for like 10 minutes, ran him out of the auditorium. I was like, what a dickhead
We have all had those. I also had the math instructor who asked the class on the first day which way home plate pointed, and I answered "toward the catcher" and he said "You get an A for the class." I got an A that semester (though, in reality, it was because I actually earned an A, but you never know).
Most of the course was with the T/A but he did a lecture, and sold his notes, once a month, combined all of his classes, so the auditorium was full. He seemed to be irritated he had to teach a class. All I could think was, don't be a [penis]
I can almost guarantee you that if you or anyone come up with a good succession plan for the chancellor UT will do the opposite.
Pretty sure all it would have taken to get some T&A from my Chem 130 T/A was asking. And that wasn't just me, that was pretty much any male.
