I saw Jane Sanders on tv this morning and I had a bit of an epiphany.

MOVE FROM BOARD PRESIDENT TO PROVOST TO ACTING INTERIM PRESIDENT

How did Jane come to be "acting" college president?? When she was president of the board and Greene was still in the position of college president, the board decided to create the new position of college provost. A board committee, selected and chaired by Jane, was formally charged with designing this position and drafting a job description. Interviews of candidates for the position had begun. But when Greene unexpectedly presented his resignation to the board at a special meeting a new plan was devised by the board under Jane's leadership. Jane offered herself as a candidate for the provost position, resigned from her position as board president, and was immediately appointed provost. Jane's actions constitute a clear conflict of interest. Despite her essentially symbolic gesture (resigning from the board before her hiring was formally approved) Jane orchestrated the board's decision to hire her as provost. She clearly parlayed her powerful voluntary position as board president into a high paying salaried position in the administration, on the basis of insider information and a privileged position in the decision making process.

Apart from all the authoritarian management-style decisions made during her tenure as Board President, Jane clearly jumped at the opportunity presented. Thus, her actions are not only authoritarian but self-serving and ethically-challenged.

Definitely not fit to stand in the same shoes that the wonderful Michelle Obama has worn with such grace, poise, presence and inspiration. There are not many who could, btw, but definitely not Jane.
