Guy Bailey named president of University of Alabama

[pmull]

Two-time University of Alabama graduate Guy Bailey has been named the next president of his alma mater.

Bailey, who has been the president of Texas Tech University since 2008, was interviewed this morning by the UA system's board of trustees, which voted immediately after the meeting to hire him.

Bailey was the top candidate for the position and the only one brought in to interview. The Montgomery native attended the Capstone from 1968 to 1974, earning bachelor's and master's degrees in English. He also received a doctorate in English linguistics from Tennessee.

“Part of my interest in this position is paying back the university for what it did for me,” Bailey said. “This is home and it's great to be home.”

“If we can do the same thing over the next 10 years that’s been done over the last 10 years we’ll be one of the top public institutions in the country. It’s achievable; the base is there, the foundation’s there. What makes it better is it’s my home.”

IDK how much input Dr. Witt had in this process but I think it is key that they have a good working relationship. I wish Dr. Bailey the best of luck and hope his time in Tuscaloosa mirrrors the progress of Dr. Witt. RTR
