  • Will BYU get a new President this year? And will he be a GA?

    BYU recruited university president applicants and were told to send resume to Merrill when he was PB. He was released as PB and put in as BYU Pres were he served for seven years. This year will be seven for Cecil. Wonder if BYU will get new President and he will be GA. Or they will go off the GA pipeline and call a nonga this time as BYU president?

    No, but maybe they will call a Tongan.

            Is Jon M. Hunstman still a G.A.?

            If so, he's my choice for president of BYU. I am confident that he can do some great things down there.

              I would do it, if asked.

                    Too bad we only get a "nay" vote.
                    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                      But then everyone would know who you are.

                        Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

                          This is an honest question, I am not being flippant, but could a woman be president? Or does it HAVE to be a GA?

                            haha, I guess in theory it could be, but the reality is that there is no way in hell the board of trustees would think of that. After all, most of the church thinks that a woman doing anything professional is in violation with the "Proclamation on the Family." A woman president for BYU? Not a chance.

                            I think GBH established a pattern when he appointed Bateman. That it was reinforced with Samuelson tells me that it will be the future of BYU. Who knows though, maybe Monson will change the pattern and appoint a "normal" Mormon academic.

                              Too bad. I was so hoping for Sherri L. Dew.
