LB has been at the forefront of stupid on Covid. When other California Universities went back to school, we waited. When we did go back, and other schools made masking voluntary, I believe we were the last school to keep it mandatory. Despite a return to normal for much of the country and the world, we continue to spend inordinate amounts to hold our graduation in Anaheim stadium, instead of on campus. Students will again not get to cross the stage, a long term tradition. While we are desperate for donors to fund our programs, she has alienated many of them with the ditching of traditions like Pete and the 49ers.
But, I simply see her as a huge step-down from the last two Presidents (Maxson and King Alexander). FWIW, I don't think this specifically as regarding athletics (Maxson was not particularly good for athletics, but in my opinion was great for the University).
