Wow. That's fairly big news. Lou is an institution up there. And it's also quite odd that he'd announce his retirement June 15 effective June 30. Normally these things have a bunch of lead time. Wonder if his contract wasn't renewed or if he had a disagreement with the Chancellor about something. Or maybe the announcement just became public.

He's 70 years old give or take a year.

I met him when I was in undergrad concerning the hockey program; very affable guy.

Perhaps someone more in the know can jump in, but the last I'd heard from a friend that works on the finance side of the university, SU's finances after Cantor were a disaster.

Disaster is the same word I've heard used to describe them. I've also heard from a few people that the expectation is that a lot more people will be leaving SU this summer than last. Not sure if it's contracts expiring or what, but we'll find out soon enough.

Sounded from Floyd Little's announcement that a severance package for 2016 was offered to employees, with decisions needed by 2015 years' end. Actual dates to leave probably varied depending on training, dept deadlines, fiscal year end wrap ups etc.

maybe it was the business proposal I recently sent him (again, but cc'd Kent S this time) that he flatly rejected (again) that could be a very viable alternate way to finance some of the dome and/or other framework improvements


on to the next guy, lol
