Interim Chancellor

[DenverOfTheEast]

What’s up with Lenoir-Rhyne not doing so hot?

Lost accreditation with some programs, pushed out President or urged retired, AD pushed out for football and basketball drop off, etc. etc.

[appdaze]

Their football team only had 2 losses last year and only have 1 loss so far this year and you are saying they are falling off to pretend you know what is going on. You don't. She was the AD of the year and had a great program going and was pushed out for petty political reasons. Your schtick of pretending to know all sorts of things is getting pretty old. You don't know anything about how bad Laney was. You don't know anything about the LR situation.

[Stonewall]

She was sabotaged.

[AppStFan1]

She was sabotaged.

I don't know anyone at L-R so no clue what exactly happened other than seeing publicly someone in media said she got screwed. What was the big reason?

What programs?

l-R has offered some big pay raises to some App faculty, which is why I was surprised to hear of this.

She hired a bad basketball coach and had to fire him and rehired a new one that the most famous alum Rick Barnes frowned upon. She coulda hired 2 different LR alums that woulda made the LR faithful happy, but went her own way and now she's on her on.

LR football should dominate D2, she didn't get approval over an project and rubbed the trustees the wrong way, being AD of the year is a political award and LR athletics should be the top athletic program in all of D2. LR was good in football before she arrived. (LR is in Hickory a great city with money people, Moretz, Hawn, etc.) -
it's in a bad conference where they have more resources than the teams they play, she has nothing to do with that.

My schick is one of knowledge, contacts and creates jealousy amongst members of the cabin.

Some of you get your info from Facebook - if you're a person that reads that and then post here your'e the gullible one.

If they e lost accreditation for some programs that could be a huge problem for them.

Buying LR campus would be quite a coup for us.

Can't afford that and won't happen anytime soon, if ever.

But quite honestly App State needs a place to house spring sports such as Golf, Tennis, Softball and Baseball to be competitive in the Sun Belt.

The Hickory campus should double in size with enrollment after the Hurricane and maybe taking on students from UNCA, Warren Wilson, Montreat that have been affected in that region -- those are the ways to capitalize on growth.

Told she was a shining star that became a perceived threat to the power structure. Internal politics took her down. I’m not inside so it’s second hand but seems plausible. We have our own problems to deal with.

So, they took out the rising star and put in place a do-nothing yes man. They got what they wanted.

Funny how when someone is a threat to a machine power structure they will do anything to take them down. I hope she lands on her feet and is appreciated by someone for doing good. We definitely do have our own problems.

We’ve seen it before.

There is good opportunity here. Cementing our place in Hickory should be the #2 LTG for the Admin. Hickory will be an exburb of CLT in 10 years, more so than it already is. There is lots of room to bring 21st century manufacturing and a base to educate in STEM, where App is currently lacking. Hickory is also the perfect hinge point to administer both Boone and Asheville. UNCA will also have problems coming up and refocusing the school and downsizing redundant admin make sense for the state.

We know the enrollment cliff is coming. While it hasn't affected NC yet, it will. The NE and rust belt have already given us the blueprint. The 1st ones to go have been the small non-elite private schools. That fits LR.

Higher education in the next decade will look much different, a rebound of trade skills and apprenticeship is coming.

Is DOTE Laney?

Tell that to UNCG, UNCA, WCU had the tuition thing going as did UNCP. Bennett College is hanging on by a thread. The worse is not here in the state but it has visited us already it seems.

I have a Laney in my family if that counts....

To yall talking about buying LR, tbh, we are having a very hard time finishing projects that are underway in campus. Let's finish the current projects, and enjoy those when they are completed. Been hearing some not so good stuff since some have access to the books now.

Also, not trying to act like I know something, just trying to reel in expectations.

[BallantyneApp]

i've seen enough. Hire Heather and call it a day.

i've detailed in my mind what should be the #2 goal. We'll have opportunity in the next 10 years. Getting into STEM now vis a vis Hickory/innovation campus is a must.
