Dr. Judy Bonner Named President of UA

[ALTideUp]

There it is.

Judy Bonner was named permanent president of the University of Alabama at a specially held meeting of the UA Board of Trustees today at the Bryant Conference Center, making her the first woman to hold the post on a permanent basis.

Bonner was named interim president in March after Robert Witt, who had been president of the Tuscaloosa campus since 2003, was named chancellor. She served in that role until the board hired Guy Bailey on July 11.

Bonner has served in some capacity at UA since 1981, where she began as an associate professor and head of the department of human nutrition and hospitality management. Following that position, she served as special assistant to the president and assistant academic vice president. From 1989 to 2003, she was dean of the College of Human Environmental Sciences, followed by three years as provost and vice president for academic affairs. She has been provost and executive vice president since April 1, 2006.

I agree. This choice is sending out a lot of red flares to me. If she is so blamed good, why didn't they pick her sooner? Then, they suddenly decide she's a great choice in less than a week of Bailey announcing his resignation. Plus, this sounds like an interim pick, kinda like Mike Shula. This smells to high heaven

Wouldn't Dr. Witt have had to sign off on this decision?  If not officially then at least consented to the Board's decision??

Dr. Whitt and the BOT must have been pleased with the job she did on the interum basis. Although President Bailey resigned yesterday I am willing to bet Dr. Whitt and the BOT has several days notice or more the resignation was coming. I doubt the decision to name Dr. Bonner President was an overnight knee jerk reaction.

Does the term "alternative lifestyle" ring a bell?

just sayin'

question ? 

we have a Congressman down here named Jo Bonner,

isn't this his sister ?

Interesting.  For those of you in the know, do you see any issues with her and CNS down the road? My thought if there were issues between the two, she would be the first to go.

You mean she prefers sewing and knitting over hunting & fishing?

As Dr Witt told us, he may have taken another job but he is still very much involved with the Bama. He worked too hard to get the University to where it is today and she was working along side of him during this time and I just don't see him letting anyone destroy all of his accomplishments during his term here.

He had to sign off on her hiring and I trust his decision.JMHO
