Students and faculty are icky
Witt gives provost more authority over university
Alleged University of Alabama President Robert Witt (whom I have never actually seen in person) is sick of having to actually run the University, which takes away from the vital work of schmoozing rich people, and is turning that all over to Provost/Actual President Judy Bonner. This is not me judging his motives, that's what he says:
I need to free up as much of my time as possible to make sure we reach our goal in the capital campaign.
He even knocked down a couple of direct reports; the VPs of student affairs and research now report to the provost and not the president. If Witt plays his cards right, he might never have to leave the mansion.
