Al- exander failed miserably on that front. It’s why his excuse is be- ing flagged nationally by college academics and administrators. Said one longtime Pac-12 athletic department admin- istrator: “Promise you, ADs roll that stuff up to the presi- dent and his/her people so fast. The ADs answer to the presi- dent. It’s their direct report so don’t tell me the AD received multiple (sex-assault and rape complaints) and the president didn’t know.” What’s evident is that the trustees at OSU didn’t do enough homework before hir- ing Alexander. What comes next is parents of survivors from LSU speaking out, more reporting on Alexander’s poor leadership at LSU and maybe a looming “no-confidence” vote by faculty at Oregon State. Maybe students in Corvallis will protest. Maybe parents will. Oregon State is our state’s flagship land-grant institution. Its whole purpose is to serve the state. Alexander’s leadership now hurts the mission. I keep thinking about how much more difficult it will be to recruit, ed- ucate, innovate and attract grant dollars. Alexander’s bosses don’t just include the trustees, either. They include students, alumni, donors, tax payers and the com- munity. Basically, us. It was a lousy hire, but the trustees at OSU must know they need to end up on the right side of history on this one.
