Maureen McInnis. Vice President of University of Texas. Art
history major. Looks like an anti-Stanley. But a voice from the
Big 12 has to be a great thing.

I'm in agreement. She'll make a great face for the university.
So long as she's not anti-sports (can't imagine her being so
coming from UT Austin/The Big 12) I don't anticipate having a
problem with her. Glad we took our time and hopefully found the
right person.

Serious question. over 6 months of scouring the globe for a new
President that would be a great fit for SBU. I have a
question..I really dont know anything about how to run a
University, or anything close to that, however. Isin't SB
predominately a research university, big into Medical,
Engineering,hings of that nature. Maurie Mclinnis has her degree
in history of slave and abolitionist Art. Served as Curator for
multiple musuem exibitions. How does that correlate to making
Stony Brook University, and school of medicine better? Where is
her background in medical research, Math, etc... Enlighten me
please.

Someone with a science background may have been a better fit,
but to be fair, Shirley Kenny's degree was in English
literature, and she did a lot to expand SBU's prestige.

Kenny led Stony Brook�s D1 push. Stanley then did nothing to
advance our athletics, so I�m not against the art history major.

She seems to have the right experience coming from UT Austin
with several great schools in her background. I'm not really
concerned about what her own major was at this point. I just
hope she'll be good for the university which I think she will
be.

So, it's a crap shoot. She has no experience running a school
like Stony Brook. 6 month of a national search and SB cant find
a President with experience running a medical school?? I dont
know. Sounds like typical NYS screw up to me..

As I'm sure you know, people generally look to move upwards, not
sideways in their careers when they change jobs. She was the
vice president at friggin Texas which is the flagship university
of the second largest state in the country and has 50,000
students. As good as SBU is, Texas has an even stronger academic
reputation than SBU. I think we're worrying about the wrong
things here. I think she'll do a fine job running the
university. What I want to know about is will she prioritize the
things we care about on this board (athletics and student life).

Very true. That is the main purpose of this forum, athletics.
For me at least. I guess time will tell with her and we just
have to see what she has in store for this university.
Hopefully, she loves football and Basketball.

My 2 biggest concerns are enhancing the image and standing of
SBU, and enhancing our sports programs. The Art History
background scares me a bit, but as another poster stated,
Shirley Strum Kenney was an English major, and I thought she did
a great job. Also, the lack of one word on athletics on anything
she�s said is a slightly worrisome. The UT experience is
probably a big plus, which will provide us with a perspective of
taking sbu to the next (and larger) level. I certainly wish her
the best of luck moving forward, and time will judge all.
