No Republican running, so it's a choice between Dems.

Option A: Callie Rennison LINK

She is endorsed by Linda Shoemaker. That's all we need to know to be certain that we don't want her on the BoR.


Option B: Dave Gross LINK

He is a financial economics professor at CU who is not endorsed by Linda Shoemaker. That's all we need to know to be certain that we prefer him on the BoR.

Two faculty members running to join Jack Kroll in violation the BoR conflict of interest policy. Yippee.

I really wonder why this is allowed.

Also, it seems that it's really hard to get anyone to run considering the few candidates we're seeing in any of these races. Makes question even more whether the BoR should even be a political thing tied to congressional districts. I'd much prefer the various stakeholders (e.g., faculty rep from each campus + various trustees) occupy those BoR seats. But it's the system we have despite such a pittance of the funding actually coming from tax dollars.

It is prohibited under the conflict of interest rules... Unless the BoR approves it, which they have done with Jack Kroll. He abstains from matters like a recent raise to the employees.

For me, the whole point of a board is to have independent people overseeing the university. If the board is just going to be stacked with employees, then what’s the point? Just form an internal committee and do whatever you want.

Here is the policy (2.A.2 is the passage where the approving vote of six members is required):

Rennison it is. Not even close.

I'm confident she'll be better than Shoemaker.
