Since 1995, BU has had
Sloan: Truett Seminary Dean
Lilley: professor of music
Garland: Truett Seminary Dean
I have no problem with Garland being selected on an interim basis, but I would love for Baylor to show its commitment to the sciences by choosing someone with a scientific background in the president’s role. A school doesn’t become top tier by having fantastic religion/theology offerings with mediocre commitment to other areas. Put a person in the leadership with knowledge of the funding, resources, and facilities needed to conduct scientific research who will listen to and can understand the concerns of the already excellent faculty.
Postings seem to be disappearing? Again, how is it that the night before the announcement, the Trib reported that Garland said “They have not talked to me”? Then, the next day, it’s announced. Did the Trib make it up?

The Garlands are wise and compassionate individuals who represent the best of our university. I celebrate this decision.
