David Glassman the #2 guy in administration at Bradley is now also putting his hat in the ring for yet another position

http://wkbn.com/2014/04/14/ysu-president-search/

He is a candidate for the position of
President of Youngstown State University

it is looking like the above position at University of Michigan-Flint is about to be filled and Dr. Glassman is not their lead candidate

As soon as the position of President at Youngstown State went to someone else...
Dr. Glassman now trying to get the position of Chancellor at UW-Green Bay....

Seems he's throwing his hat into a lot of rings...

Is this a natural movement between jobs or is it he can not work for a certain person anymore and wants to get out?

[Da Coach]

I am pretty sure both those positions are a step up from his position of Provost at BU.

[tornado]

Green Bay will announce their selection on Monday at 10am for their new Chancellor....
Bradley's Dr. David Glassman is one of five finalists

[tornado]

Green Bay selected UNCW's Gary Miller and passed on Bradley's Dr. David Glassman.

In addition to the three schools named above that BU Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. David Glassman put his hat in the ring for...

now he's also a finalist for the top spot, President of at Eastern Illinois University

He appears to have a good shot at the spot as he is the only one with midwestern connections, as the other three candidates are from out east.

[Buesch N Chips]

He also appears to really want out of Bradley.

[tornado]

yeah - but in each case he's trying for a top spot - and you can't blame him- lots of the people look to move up to a top spot somewhere...
He's been at Bradley since May of 2010, and likely he isn't being given a lot of autonomy -
and in the five years he's been there he's seen a lot of stuff going south - and not just in Athletics - but now the campus-wide financial problems...
I suspect he has nothing to do with the problems and wants out before he's feeling the bus wheels.
He has an interesting background.

PJ Star's Pam Adams has a little on Dr. Glassman pursuing the EIU post...
a lot of what she says looks pretty familiar ....ahem ...
and she mentions two other posts he pursued this past year, but she fails to note that Dr. Glassman was also pursuing the top spot at a 3rd school, Youngstown State University.

[tornado]

Glassman is now one of four finalists - he is set for another interview at EIU Jan. 21-22,
When all the interviews are done, the EIU Board will go into discussions and have a selection to announce sometime thereafter (after Jan. 29)
The exact timetable is not made clear but the new President "will be named before or during the March 13 meeting of the EIU Board of Trustees."

Good luck to Dr. Glassman!

video of EIU students interviewing Dr. Glassman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l7GOc8hVHQ

interestingly - one of his answers to the students is that if hired, he will NOT come in and CLEAN HOUSE and clear out the good people who are already there.
Also - he addresses how important he believes Division I athletics are and but kinda stops short of claiming he is committed to DI athletics
and instead he spends a fair amount of time talking about accountability and the irresponsible spending in athletics and how it needs to be reigned in!! (scroll to 3:00)
