gut punch
dang…………….
Sure would like to see Mitch run for POTUS.
Agreed. We need a man like Mitch Daniels to lead our country.
If Mr. Daniels chooses to do nothing else, he has been a great treasure of Indiana. Perhaps he will continue to take on new initiatives and make Indiana better. Everything he touches is very much improved when he leaves it. As an IU Alum, I have been envious of Purdue for 10 years!
Good things can’t last forever. I knew Mitch back when he was Sen. Lugar’s top aide, and though we didn’t keep in touch over the years I watch his moves through politics, business, and academia with ease, innovation, and grace. Indiana benefited from his leadership in whatever role he served. I wish him well in whatever endeavor he chooses to pursue next.
A good man who has excelled in virtually every position he’s held.
He leaves big shoes to fill, and a long shadow of legacy.
Mitch, please, please, run for POTUS. The country needed you then and it needs you now, even more. Everything you touch, improves. Please, give it consideration.
He’ll probably work for Duke Energy.
Especially considering the times, MD the greatest Pres in Purdue history. Other greats rode historic and demographic waves. MD had wind in his face and surpassed all competition with grace.
As hard as it is to see Mitch step down, Mung Chiang is a treasure in his own right. A BRILLIANT scientist with extraordinary leadership credentials. He was undoubtedly at the top of Presidential search lists across the country (except Harvard, whose woke wickets Chiang could have never negotiated).
The back-to-back combo of Daniels and Chiang is literally phenomenal. No other university in the world can boast such a successive tandem. Fabulous for Indiana.
As good as Dr. Chiang may be, was there a search conducted to replace Mitch? If so, the process does not seem to have been transparent. At least for the Indiana public. Of course, I could just be out of the loop, not living in W. Lafayette. But it seems as if the Purdue faculty were also left out of the loop. “Purdue’s professor groups ‘disappointed’ in secretive presidential search” (https://www.purdueexponent.org/campus/article_c66034b8-eb12-11ec-b3b4-2344144545d2.html).
As a proud Purdue alum, AMEN to all the above comments; Mitch Daniels will be greatly missed and has done a wonderful job at Purdue.
As for running for President, his wife put the kibosh on that years ago due to their personal life. It would undoubtedly be played up against them, testifying to the stupidity and vacuousness of today’s electorate. If they were Democrats, they would be exalted…but as Republicans, they would be excoriated. It’s nothing she wants them to go through…and you can’t blame her. It’s why we have career political dupes and dummies like Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, Harris, et al. running (or should I say ruining) the country.
Tell me you’re a Republican without telling me you’re a Republican.
For the most part, I am a Republican, Sherry. ‘Sorry to have triggered you; I hope you’re enjoying your $5.25/gallon gasoline.
A great Hoosier! Just amazing that he froze tuition at Purdue since 2013.
Fabulous at Lilly, as Governor and Purdue President. Definitely has been a positive influence in Indiana. Wish him all the best.
Wow, has it really been 10 years? Well done, Mitch.
Please run for POTUS, President Daniels.
Glad that Purdue could keep tuition down while have less Indiana students and more foreign students to keep tuition down. Thought it was a land grant college set up to teach Hoosiers. Maybe I am missing something. Universities have become a scam in the US. Glad the Chinese will be running Purdue…
Yep – you might be missing some things.
There was a period of time (mid 2010`s) it started to skew out of state, and they corrected to get to a majority of Indiana residents. 2021 received a slew of out-of-state applications due to aggressive leadership during covid for in-person learning (https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2021/Q2/purdue-to-welcome-largest-ever-incoming-class-this-fall.html), so like a lot of things last couple of years , kind of discounting current ratios as indicitibe of long-term trends.
While agreeing that universities at large are coming to reckon with value provided, as both an alum and a parent of a student matriculating in 2022, I observed Purdue previous and even more, now, focuses very intentionally on employability, expectations in graduation with specific majors, etc.
As far as the nationalism comment, he was educated in secondary school in UK-sovereign Hong Kong, with subsequent university education / work all in the US. Moreover, been working direct with President Daniels for several years, including lines in the sand drawn by the admin to the Chinese students/government when there was starting to be intimidation.
The background seems appropriate, as well as the resounding character endorsements. Daniels cant go forever, and Dr. Chaimg seems very reasonable.
Ever heard of the term “diversity and inclusion”?
How about heading up the NCAA?
As much as I would like to see Mitch run for POTUS, he has always said he wasn’t interested. The one and only public office he was interested in was Governor. With Gov. Holcomb being term limited, maybe Mitch would consider coming back and being Governor again. It would be the greatest thing to happen.
He would be a much welcomed voice in what is now just the buzzing nonsense of politics. He balanced our finances and brought this state back from the brink in the first go round. Can you imagine what he would do with a state that is now afloat and flush with cash? The bold initiatives and investments he would likely make would be all the more transformational.
Draft MyManMitch 2.0
When he took the Purdue presidents position, it completed what is considered a requirement, university president, to fill the NCAA leadership position — Its now open and Mitch is ready for one more run —
Mitch we need you desperately to run for president. Please give it some consideration.
Agree with all compliments. Mitch’s voice of reason would be invaluable on the national scene.
As an independent, I’d vote for Mitch for President. I often wonder where we’d be today had Mitch ran for President in 2012.
After losing to Obama in 2012, the national Republican Party went full-blown populist and further divided our country based on religion, race, etc. to drum up support in hurting communities. With a minority president, it was an easy (albeit spineless) path for the Republican Party to take, and it ultimately led to where were are today (see: MAGA). An unfortunate reality may be that had Daniels won the 2012 election (which would’ve been unlikely), politics in the US would be much more sane in present day.
A lot of rose-tinted glasses in here…
Great job, Mitch. Thanks for your great service to Purdue.
