@a1b2c3d5 I feel like it isn’t up to the president though! Emory is already elite (again the college and the university as a whole competes well with or even outranks some peers above and near us in USNews UG rankings on a global stage- even in US Newsweeks own global rankings), it just wants to be more elite. I suspect it knows what it needs to do in terms of getting there in terms of lay prestige, it just needs to know how to do it and the president needs to be aggressive in terms of doing their part to mobilize faculty and other administrators towards facilitating it. In terms of the college, the Deans and faculty are actually most influential…I would welcome any admins who could raise more money for and properly allocate monies to the b-school and ECAS. I won’t pretend to know what is needed in a new president. If anything get people to send feedback on the new strategic plan. That is something those less “in the know” can successfully provide commentary on simply by reflecting upon their experiences.
