Patricia Brennan Quotations

For right now, we are operating under the correct principles. We hear an awful lot of exceptional cases. This is a big system and there are many ways through it.

Many (academic staff) are outstanding scholars and teachers. We want to help them have a say in running the campus and help them have reasonable career progression.

This is not a juvenile walking into a bank and robbing it. It's frequently kid-on-kid crime.

The goal is to address the fact that the university needs a large and varied mix of people working well together. If our structure interferes with that, we need to re- examine our structure.

I find Pat a terrific academic leader, very straightforward and a good communicator, and well-versed in the workings of a complex university. He is decisive and responsive in decision making, seeks and incorporates input to important decisions and has an excellent interpersonal style.
