SU Human Resource Complaint Towards Heather Lyke

[Cusefan95]

Sounds like she is the front runner and was brought in to replace JW specifically. Although it would be odd to interview if they were going to “promote” her to the job. Wonder if the new Chancellor will be sensitive to having a diverse team in place and like the fact she has prior AD experience. Hope JW has some say in the replacement but doubt it.

I will be utterly stunned if she is hired. Even if she was the most qualified candidate in the world - she was also a key player in the apparent Kent/John rift which led to turmoil and dysfunction. If she’s hired, it’ll be an ongoing situation since the alliances and enemy camps will remain set. The university needs a reset.

Having said that, any company I worked for would always go through an interview process, even if they were 98% sure of an internal candidate they were going to hire. One reason is you don’t want people to feel there is a “union line of progression” in management jobs; the other is occasionally an outside candidate will blow the committee away and justify changing plans.

Also, there was that whole thing she did at Pitt.

She's definitely not the front runner, and most likely on her way to Michigan. I don't want her to take over here either.

The tweet was just a poor attempt at humor, I was just saying she's a better choice than any name on that "list"

You’re clearly behind the eight ball on the AD discussion, though I don’t blame you at all. There’s been a bazillion comments in various threads—as well as some inside info over the past few weeks—and it’s hard to follow. She’s not the frontunner anymore. Hopefully.

Yes, Tirico has zero applicable experience for the position.

Unfortunately she does and they are mostly bad fast pass on her, send her packing with the one who hired her. The sooner the better for SU as a School and Athletic Department.

I’m still trying to get my head around why we should be worrying at all about hiring as AD someone who was recently fired by a fellow conference member for nonperformance.

Because she shouldn't have been brought in at all, after being let go from Pitt. Syracuse shouldn't be a rehab center for someone who was fired elsewhere.

Ed Orgeron was an example of it working?

P picked him off the scrap heap.
