Pitt’s Chancellor’s Leadership Team

You can't articulate why it makes a difference. You are crying about something irrelevant. Go get some fresh air.
Btw, the President of the WVU Foundation is a Pitt alum and former Pitt Trustee. You hire qualified people regardless of where they went to school. M
That's one person, and the Foundation isn't the University.
I understanding you are attempting to take the high road here, but again, find me a similar example where the entire leadership team (or cabinet) does not have one alum while having multiple alums from the biggest rival.
Seems the same people are just looking for something. I'm about to take a break from this place. It's become unbearable.
If you can tell me why it matters I will go look. If we switched out the CIO and GC with Pitt alums that have otherwise identical resumes what demonstrable difference does it make to Pitt Athletics or Pitt as a whole?
If you can't answer that question then you are complaining for no reason. There are plenty of legitimate complaints to make regarding Pitt Athletics. You aren't making one of them.
He made a great point.
Question: How many Pitt grads on on the PSU leadership team?
Answer: None -Zero - 0
They wouldn't have a Pitt alum privy to inside PSU info, or responsible for key decisions especially when it comes to football or basketball.
Why would a PSU grad even as a Pitt employee want to help strenghten Pitt football or basketball.
In addition alums of any school who work at the CFO level usually are boosters, donors, to the school they graduated from and have top level connections at that school. Inside Pitt info could easily end up with PSU administrators???
This is plain and simple a bad idea!
She is doing a good job. The people at Pitt have turned Pitt into a circus. Big difference.
Being President of a foundation is very different from someone on a Leadership Team who plays a role in every key Pitt strategic decision.
Having a grad from a rival U, actually a U that hates Pitt and Pitt hates them, gives that person the opportunity to shape Pitt strategy in a way that could benefit his or her U. Not to mention this individual is privy to all top level Pitt info strategies, inside "scoop" stuff, etc.
We're not saying it has to be a Pitt grads on the team but don't include rival U grads like PSU people that we compete and recruit against everyday!
As stated, you have no idea what the leadership team is or does. It's just the Chancellor's most senior staff in the various departments. This is not a committee that meets on Athletic hiring decisions. The President of the Med School is not going to play a part in deciding who the next women's soccer coach is.
You are talking about conspiracy theories. No one is risking their career to feed "inside info" to their Alma Mater.
Oh I totally agree with you. I was just pointing out the fact that I didn't go to Pitt,
yet am a supporter.
I know Art very well. You folks have zero idea what you are talking about. The University as a whole is so much bigger than sports in general, sorry to inform you.
Why has Pitt dropped the ball on obtaining various properties and buildings within its campus footprint?
I don't know the answer to that, but I would bet my life that it's not because the President of the Medical and Health Sciences Foundation isn't a Pitt alum.
Who makes these decisions? Pitt should be buying every piece of property in and around Oakland, and they should start throwing their weight around to close off vehicle traffic down the main drag of campus.
If the President of the Med School is on the Leadership Team he or she certainly would!
The Leadership Team in any organization is exactly that a Leadership Team who does meet on a regular basis to discuss and make key organization and strategic decisions in all areas!
I report to the CFO in my organization and attend Leadership Team meetings as a support person.
In all entities the Leadership Team is comprised of the heads of each major disciplines:
CEO
CFO
Legal
R&D
Operations
Commercial
etc
These are the people in a U who would listen to the experts and after gathering key data would decide how to proceed in areas like hiring a coach, building an on campus stadium, etc.
Once they make a decision it might need higher approval like a Board of Directors or in a U a Board of Trustees.
It's important to understand things before you comment!
It matters because Pitt is very likely the only outlier with this situation among the FCS programs (and all of the NCAA?). I have not said and do not believe that the Leadership Team members are being intentionally destructive towards the University. If anything, this is a sign that Pitt doesn't care enough about athletics, because they are likely the ONLY school to have this be the situation. However, I will say this. If these people are advising the Chancellor and the Board of Trustees on various matters, it seems like having someone in the position of adviser would be beneficial to Pitt if at least one of those people received a degree from the institution and had that experience as a perspective when doing their jobs.
Pitt has gone downhill in academics and athletics since Gallagher took over.
No no no. They are just people who have their pictures listed on a website. They don't actually get involved in decision making.
You misunderstood my post. I am telling you that you are wrong based on my own first hand experience at Pitt. You are speculating based on your own anecdotal experience with unrelated companies.
Art Ramicone, who is in charge of the Med School and on the leadership team, has no role in hiring decisions in Athletics. That is AD Lyke's job, along with the Chancellor and certain BOT members.
Would you like to defend the Gregory A. Scott hire that was made recently? This should be good.
Agree I dont know the structure at Pitt but typically a Leadership Team makes the decisions you're talking about like hiring and firing coaches.
So you explained the structure at Pitt.
Bottom line is you dont want a rival U guy or girl involved in making key decisions especally if they're tightly connected to the rival U.
If a PSU person had a say in the Pitt football coach hire and they go back to Crappy Valley each Saturday to cheer for PSU I'm not sure how they might look at things?
Our Pittsburgh based company was interviewed to build the psu ice arena, because we built the home of the Penguins. We were told prior to the interview do not mention PITT, do not wear anything PITT, do not wear anything resembling PITT's colors. The job went to the Centre co. contractor who had never done an ice arena before. They take care of their own and would NEVER have a PITT grad have anything to do with anything there. We should do the same.
I think he is closer to the right answer. Pitt's doesn't have a description of the leadership team, but a quick search pulled a definition from American University:
The president's cabinet is composed of the senior university administrators who serve as the university's officers and who report directly to the president. They work closely together with the president, trustees, and academic leadership to provide advice, develop and implement university-wide initiatives, and oversee operation of the university.
I'd just give up. There is just a set of extremely miserable people here. Pitt = horrible at everything they do, no matter what.
Ok, I'm done. I'm telling you the way things work at Pitt based on my own experience at the University. I'm trying to share some inside (although it's hardly that) information to ease your concerns. You tell me I'm wrong about Pitt and someone else is right based on a quote you found on the website of American University? C'mon man. Furthermore, the quote from American hardly suggests that people on that team at American are involved in Athletic decision making, but I digress.
You are clearly committed to being miserable, and for that reason, I'm out!
That’s the stuff of which dreams are made of.....you actually think there is one iota that happens?
PAA, Schenley, etc. should have been bought. Pitt and UPMC (SHOULD BE) pushing for and campaigning for people that are running in elections that are Pro-Pitt and Pro-UPMC. They should be the big dogs on the block instead of being treated like the red-headed stepchild.
Not really disagreeing just sayin none of that happens with Pitt facing Pgh politicians inside congested , getting more congested and otherwise in large parts a dump ......Oakland
It’s going to get worse before it gets better.
I am a Gannon grad and I have been a huge Pitt fan by birth. But the point is, NONE of them on that committee are Pitt grads and 2 are PSU grads. That is an optics problem if anything.
Ah, another candidate for pres of the trash Pitt brigade, Hey, parrot what's the difference between Buckley and yoj. I;ll Tell you.. Buckley was intelligent. Get lost Pitt hater and woman hater. Can't wait till the women come out with your stories, but wait, guys who beg on the street for change don't harass women.
The PSU grad job title: Art Ramicone serves Pitt as Senior Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer.
If you are telling me the CFO has no input on decisions regarding athletic funding or athletic capital projects - you are sadly mistaken.
We need to get the resident snowflakes led by the backup kicker to stage a sit-in in the BOT office until this guy is gone!
Pitt only cares about one thing in regards to athletics and it’s $$$$$ , they thought they could get similiar results for less money . They were wrong , probably to the tune of 6000 fans /game . With ticket , parking , concessions and donations around half million dollars per game . I don’t care where these people went to school I don’t want them making anymore decisions affecting athletics .
For whom? You honestly think most people know and/or care?
This is just something for the vocal minority to blame and use as justification to not donate.
Since Pat Narduzzi was not a Pitt grad I have to wonder who he actually recruits for, Pitt of his Alma mater.
