James Clements to Lead WVU

I find this a bizarre selection. He's only been a provost for less than 2 years, and he's spent his entire career at Towson. Now he comes to Morgantown where he needs to fill in a multitude of administrative jobs (I really can't begin to list how many openings there are on campus at the moment - lots and lots of jobs including all the biggest ones). It's an incredibly risky choice - and this from the people who brought us Mike Garrison. Here's hoping it'll work out - but we'll see.

Especially with Health Sciences and all that nonsense, this is going to be a huge challenge for someone with so little experience. OR the BOG likes it that way, and plans to increase the autonomy, well, no, strike that. Increase the separation of the HSC from the university, making it more controlled by the state.

As always peeps, you need to be reading Hippie Killer for the best chatter about the matter. I found this there in the comments. Also, Hippie Killer is a fellow DBT fan.
