Ha. Not a chance. But that would be pretty cool

Not by any stretch. Worthen has several more years I’d imagine.

Average tenure is 7 years, that was a precedent set by Oaks

It may hurt his chances if he shows up to interview with a mullet. Blending in at CCU has its price

I could see them hiring a woman. It's not a priesthood calling afterall.

And the woman President of BYU couldn't go on to become the general RS pres

You could make a case for Astrid Tuminez. She’s the current president of UVU

Why would she be qualified to run a university?

Just throwing out a woman name! Didn't say she was qualified.

That's how we got Kamala as our VP. That's a bad way to find candidates

No serious & ambitious woman (or man) should want a position they didn't earn & comes w/ a pat on the head.
