The search committee for the Dean of the College of Health rated the 3 external candidates as acceptable (two by 10-0 vote, one by a 7-3 vote). The internal candidate (Joan Exline) was rated as "unacceptable" by 7 of the 10 search committee members.

Don't be surprised if Joan is appointed Dean in spite of strong opposition to her candidacy. She's a lapdog for Shelby (as demonstrated by her willingness to fire Terry Kinney without cause).

This will be the next example of autocratic leadership that is detrimental to the best interests of the university.
