I don’t see this as a Rankin issue. This is a Bell issue.
More about who he didn’t hire or interview for the vacancy that were qualified, but he “didn’t know him, so we didn’t talk to him.”
That’s not a good look.
It just so happens that this guy apparently met the criteria that Brian was looking for and was probably a done deal before they ever left Sevier Co.
Its not going to matter in the long run.
Both Bell and GR already have one foot out the door.
As a side note: I heard the next board meeting, since Alcoa has changed its brand to Arconic, that the ACSB will make a motion to rename the school to Bledsoe-Marsh Academy of Technology.
Any truth to this rumor?
