Republican Hypocrisy (Mitch Daniels edition)
http://www.indystar.com/article/20120627/NEWS05/120627045/Lemme get this straight: A guy that badmouths public institutions/employees because their unions (those that still exist) supposedly insist on massive salaries and generous benefits that states can't afford will now become President (i.e. Employee) of a public (i.e. GOVERNMENT) institution and automatically get a nice fat salary and generous benefits? *ugh* Republican hypocrisy is sickening and never ceases to amaze me. Why doesn't he just go back to the hallowed private sector since Republicans like him practically worship the ground corporations (i.e. "people" according to SCOTUS) walk on?

George W. Bush Budget Director, Governor of Indiana..............
He's a Republican too, so I guess that makes him qualified too, I guess.........
As much as many major university administrators act like they are running businesses, education isn't really business. You aren't producing widgets and selling them on the marketplace. You are educating young people and supporting research activities in the public sector.
I know that conventional wisdom indicates that anyone can be an educator or an education administrator. It's just a little scary to me to see someone like Mitch Daniels heading a school like Purdue that has so many good programs that could be screwed up by someone clueless at the helm. ("Why do we have all these professors in engineering? Can't we replace them with some cheap, on-line courses like DeVry?"
at taxpayer expense, of course.............
The board has spoken, however and, apparently Mitch is their "man". 
Not surprised, unfortunately.
