Patricia Brennan Quotations

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.

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.
