Can't explain why, but this is a non-starter for several reasons.

Has nothing to do with gender, by the way. BYU could definitely hire a woman as president.

Women are hired as managing directors in the Church, which are basically the highest level non-GA jobs in the Church. Would be comparable to a CES president level position, maybe even higher.

President Worthen’s time should be coming to an end. Would the BOT hire a woman?

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

Does BYU still have a mandatory retirement age at 65?

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

That is not my assumption at all. I'd be all for a female BYU president, but the

Sherri Dew?

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

It also undermines women by tokenizing them by just their gender. There are some

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