Guest oldschooler Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 [quote][size=5][b]Zimpher gets 12-month extension[/b][/size] BY LORI KURTZMAN | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER The University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees has been so busy with other matters, chairman Jeff Wyler said, that it hasn’t gotten around to one itty bitty issue: Whether to extend President Nancy Zimpher’s five-year contract. “We’ve had an awful lot of stuff going on,†Wyler said Tuesday, just before the board unanimously approved a 12-month extension to the president’s contract. The year buys the trustees additional time to negotiate with Zimpher, [b]whom they want to keep at UC for “a very long period of time,†[/b] Wyler said. [b]“We don’t want her to leave here for the next 20 years,†trustee Anant Bhati said.[/b] Zimpher, 60, is in the fourth year of a five-year contract with UC. According to her employee agreement, dated Oct. 1, 2003, she was supposed to receive notice after her third annual performance review whether the board planned to extend her term beyond the fifth year. Problem was, Zimpher hadn’t received her review, which caused some to question whether the board was dragging its feet. In October, the Cincinnati Business Courier ran an editorial calling on UC’s trustees to extend Zimpher’s contract to show their support for the university’s leader and fend off some of the headhunters who might be calling her about high-profile higher education jobs in the state, including the soon-to-be-vacant presidency at Ohio State University. Trustees patched the problem Tuesday, lavishing praise on Zimpher – “With every day, our degrees are becoming more valuable,†student trustee Nick Furtwengler said – while she sat at the head of the table looking slightly embarrassed. “It’s all a part of the fishbowl, right?†said Zimpher, who declined a raise this year in light of the $27 million in budget cuts spread across the university. Despite the overwhelming support she has from trustees, Zimpher is not universally liked. Her decision last year to oust popular basketball coach Bob Huggins infuriated local sports fans to the point that they began printing T-shirts that called for her removal, and booing her at public appearances. That resentment lingers. But there was nothing but love at the trustees meeting Tuesday, [b]where her contract was pushed to Sept. 30, 2009. [/b] Zimpher said she was honored by the trustees’ words and said she expected that negotiations to further extend her contract would be swift – so “we can get on with the work that needs to be done.†[b]Zimpher makes $343,350 a year and received $41,202 in deferred compensation, $10,000 for a car allowance and memberships to private clubs totaling $13,040 in 2005-06, according to university documents. She lives in a condominium donated by trustee Buck Niehoff and her employee benefits for 2005-06 were valued at $122,232. Last year, she received a $75,000 bonus.

Those are private institutions, and can maintain any standards they want. UC is a public institution, and is intended to be generally accessible to all students.

The Grad program at UC is #2 only behind Harvard! We also have the top Interior Design and Industrial design schools in the nation as well. Not to mention half a dozen other great programs in the DAAP college alone. Nancy hasn't done shit. All of these programs were well recognized way before she took over.

Interesting fact about DAAP, no two walls meet at the same angle in the entire building. I always thought that was pretty cool. Jason, which field in engineering were you in?

As for the angles, I am 99.9% sure as I was a Student Orientation Leader and we had to learn weird facts such as this about the university. And you're correct also, there are no 90 degree angles.

Doesn't mean that you manufactured that nice car from scrap though. She doesn't deserve all the hate but she doesn't deserve that much credit either. Check the university's donations during her time and check who has pulled out their support. Also, as a university President, you can't maintain the academics at the cost of athletics...which she has done to a certain degree. See Bearcat basketball attendance.

[/quote] I also explained the only reason I like the football team is because no one roots for them and I feel their coach deserved some following and respect. That is why once the bandwagoners jump back on I will quit following them. I definitely have the critical thinking and common sense. You can't read I guess? Or are you just a fucking dumbass?
