Lex Anteinternet: New UW President chosen.: Today In Wyoming's History: April 2 : 2026 Brig. Gen. Shane Reeves, currently the dean of the Academic Board at the U.S. Military Aca...
I posted this the other day.
As noted, I don't feel good about this choice.
What's more, I"m not really sure why I don't feel good about this choice. I just don't.
Part of it is that I'm tired of guys who leave the state, spend 30 years doing something for the Federal Government, and then coming back in when they're darn near retired or retired. But there was very little chance that we were going to get a local for UW President and indeed, for the most part, few locals would be qualified.
Except here, one actually was. The fellow who finished second works for US already and is in agriculture.
For that reason, he seems a better fit to me.
Added to that, right now I'm not trusting military figures too much. We're in an illegal war and it part of the way we got into one is that we have a military that's way too large. That made sense during the Cold War, but it doesn't now. In my view its time to go back to the original military establishment system for the US, which would mean that we'd have very little in the form of a standing Army and a Navy that had to rely on reservists I don't think we need West Point anymore at all.
And I fear that this fellow might have been brought in because of the Freedom Caucus's shots at UW. Where does a serviceman fit in, in that fight.
I dunno.
An article about the topic:
University of Wyoming campus sizes up its next leader, but lack of online access raises questions
I know more than a few guys who were career servicemen and I considered it, so I'm probably just paranoid right now. And its not like I wrote to the Trustees either.
By the way, this is them:
