<p>Typical IU to name an old white guy president. What else should you expect from southern Indiana? Ora should have been named, more qualified.</p>

<p>Read part of their reasoning for what they did.....which one was more likely to NOT leave if not appointed president. I think it will be fine. And he's from Australia so technically he's not the old southern white guy you are referring to.</p>

<p>Hazmat, this is a very strange complaint to make considering the person he's replacing (Herbert) is black, and has been president of the school since 2000.</p>

<p>See the following link: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Herbert%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Herbert&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>According to your reasoning, I guess I should assume that if they named another African-American person president of the school, they were prejudiced against whites, hispanics and Asians. I prefer to think they just tried to pick the best candidate overall.</p>

<p>NOT my quote........critical reading is a skill worth acquiring.</p>

<p>"critical reading is a skill worth acquiring" <=== Translation: I didn't make that statement DUMBA**! the retard below was the one bashing the decision made by IU. </p>

<p>HAHAHAHA sorry this was an opportunity that I could not pass over LOL.</p>

<p>I apologize to hazmat--my reply should have been directed to A2Wolves6--but then I shouldn't be too critical of him, either. He has posted tons of wonderful stuff all over this site that is most helpful and informative.</p>
