Well that just about confirms the things that have been said about Pood on earlier threads. And who will be Dean of Arts and Letters? Dvorak?
Pood isn't even capable of writing a job description. His e-mailed job description for Assoc. Dean was the laughing stock of several universities. It listed that the position required using everything from a mainframe computer (do these even exist anymore?) to a stapler and staple remover. Every time I see Denise von Hermann, who got the job, I want to ask her how her stapling is going.

Then he should be perfect. THere isn't much need of job descriptions in Shelby's University. And competence is a deterrent to the job, not a requirement for getting and keeping one at Shelby U.

Wonder who would take Pood's place. I wonder how this plays into the other grapevine news that Hudson and Dvorak are no longer on speaking terms. "
Sounds like a reward for a job well done (for Pood, that is)--he kept his mouth shut this whole time (i.e. during the "crisis"). Since he is without tenure, this move would definitely serve to keep him a loyal Shelbot. He can then join all the other unqualified, ineffective administrators Shelby loves to surround himself with.
Maybe Shelby has discovered one or two very small places---very tiny ones: infinitesimally tiny, even---on campus where order still reigns, and has decided that Dean Pood, messenger boy, is the perfect dude to manage those places too, so that chaos and misrule will be literally everywhere on campus. Shelby will leave no stone, no rock, no pebble, unturned to re-recreate the university in his own chaotic petulant, wheedling, childish, incompetent image. The only problem with Pood is that he is taller than Shelby, and that could disqualify him; but, then, of course, nearly everybody is taller than Shelby. That must be why he's getting rid of Hudson.
