I should say I was/am supportive of the Sasse hire. However, I did have some concerns that he sometimes thinks he’s the smartest person in the room and wants to transform the “business”. I think he gets this from his time working as a consultant at the management consulting firm (he had to sell himself as having the answers customers are paying for…).
This is one reason he wasn’t a very successful senator (= not impactful or transformative).
UF does need to change with the times and technology, but he should be taking input from many sources and not assume he has all of the answers. Then he needs to try and build consensus. As best he can with Faculty, which is always resistant to change, but especially with his own board and the state legislature (which has to fund any changes).
