Pros

People not in senior roles are hard working and committed

Cons

We are being run by a narrow-minded, clueless group of lawyers who are out of touch and surround themselves with individuals only like themselves. Salaries and number of VPs at this campus have skyrocketed and demoralizing.

Pros

Great comprehensive university with exceptional new faculty hires with strong research and teaching scholars in the last 5 yrs. Great staff and students!!

Cons

Transition of new administration is taking too long and making numerous communications mishaps with no transparency. Unilateral decisions are made without much input from real stakeholders.
