BEST BUCKEYE FOR tOSU PRESIDENCY

ORD_Buckeye

Best Buckeye was saved from a thankless job filled with the daily conflict of contending and opposing viewpoints. I don't know Ravi Bellamkonda, but he appears to be someone of extremely high intellect (Research profile) and to understand how the higher education game is played at leading universities (e.g., MIT, Duke, Emory).

There will be criticism about the speed and lack of university-wide consultation. I suspect he will settle in quickly and we might look back in a year with a thumbs up. I understand not wanting to go through a long search process and stumbling around after a post-appointment learning curve. This appointment is preceded by two short-term presidencies and you have a highly respected scholar in an expanding field who has been serving in his high-level OSU administrative post. He also will be aware of the intensely local cultural guardrails.

Personally, I would not be surprised if he is a great success.

Same here. He was the best we could have done. An extended national search would have come under the influence of both Wexner and the state legislature, and who knows what those two entities would have dropped on our doorstep.
