Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2173912, member: 716"] I've been mildly disappointed so far; my initial perception was that Syverud is a well-intentioned person, kind of cautious, nerdy. Of course he'd go after his pet project to the exclusion of other areas (just like his predecessor), but I assumed his cautious nature would be an asset. On a number of matters, he's come across as dishonest. He offers another in the article: “Many people issued statements very quickly and I was somewhat surprised, because [B]I was unable to even locate the text [/B]of what the travel ban was that they were commenting on,” he said. “So the first thing I needed to do was figure out what actually the proposal was. Once I read the proposal I realized it had implications for the university.” That defies belief. Eh, whatever. His job isn't to make OttoMets happy. He'll be here for 7 or 8 more years, hopefully he does more good than bad. [/QUOTE]
