Am I the only one that finds this kind of stuff completely idiotic???????????????????



 
Not as idiotiic as keeping fired President Jack Thomas on board to teach a class or two.  Not sure he ever fulfilled that role though.
Correction, I guess he officially resigned his position as President.
 

 
Yeah, I'll give you that. Where are the brains of this operation, anyway?

Technically he's a faculty member, although he only teaches one "class"...Engineering Senior Project (which sounds like mostly independent study-type stuff). His wife lives in California, so I'd imagine he'll be moving out that way fairly soon.

Associate Provost Mark Mossman is now interim Provost.

 
He will be required to do more teaching if he chooses to stay. Obviously, he gets a free ride for the rest of this semester, and likely for next since the schedules have already been made and students are enrolling.

I highly doubt he'll stay, though. And if he does it will be at the QC.

If he does “teach a class”, it’ll probably just be in an advisory role, and done remotely.
