Devastating loss? Let's try and cool off the hyperbole here. There will be a list of well-qualified candidates who are more than capable of leading this university. The deification of this guy is becoming absurd.

I feel like Lovell is leaving us at a much better time than say if he would have left a year or more ago. The university has to be looking pretty attractive to potential suiters to replace him at this point. Fresh water science, school of public health, the new interdisciplinary research center, innovation campus, (and a new union/addition in the works, albeit slowly) all are developing or have developed to a a point where his departure does not hurt as much as it could of if he would have left sooner. Some of the things he has managed to bring to the university, UW and some of the other state schools were drooling to get their hands on. And they are here and aren't going anywhere at this point. So from an academic and university standpoint I think that he left us in a good position to continue moving forward with all the groundwork already in place.
The reason I don't think its isn't necessarily a bad thing (also not saying it is a great thing either) is that now we have an opportunity for someone to come in, improve upon what has been left by Lovell, and possibly care a little but more about athletics, something we know Lovell wasn't going to magically start supporting more than he already did.
Also, from an academic standpoint, it is a chance for someone to come in and not only build upon what had already been done by Lovell, but to see the potential of the university with a fresh pair of eyes that might look at things in new ways and possibly add new dynamics to the equation. Because of the stability of the projects Lovell had left behind, they will continue to grow, but new views and ideas can start to form with our new chancellor as well.
So we will see. I think it could work out well for us if the right man or woman is picked to be Lovell's replacement. And honestly, I am somewhat excited. I know that I find the job to be an attractive one at this point, with all of the programs that we have at our university that are unique to just us in the state, lets hope possible candidates do as well.

I don't necessarily think Lovell has left any substantive impact on the university one way or another, aside from spending unprecedented money on marketing UWM out-of-state (and maybe the new union, which might not ever actually happen). So the issue becomes how UWM can ever possibly become stable at the administrative level if no chancellor ever stays long enough to get his visions off the ground, and how that instability translates department-by-department. I just wish he had taken Laliberty with him; that man is a professional double-talker who is impossible to deal with.

I would like to thank Lovell for toughing it out as UWM Chancellor these past three years. As Fran stated, he should be commended for getting by on a measly $330,000 salary while having to put up with all those really mean Republicans in the state legislature. We can only hope to attract a qualified candidate willing to sacrifice under such difficult circumstances. Sorry, but this is completely inappropriate, IMHO. What Chancellor Lovell has done for UWM is remarkable, and the university is at a crucial time in its growth and stature. Losing him right now could have devastating results. I am a huge supporter of UWM athletics. But first and foremost, I am a huge supporter and alum of the university. Don't forget, if the university becomes irrelevant, so does athletics. Exactly my thoughts, I will not add any more.

Two words: Bob Greenstreet
No need to look outside when the perfect person to run this university is right there in front of us. The fact that I'm a SARUP alum had nothing to do with this.

Bob and Stan are both great guys. I suspect the position is attractive enough right now to entice a lot of candidates from around the country.

I would love if Bob got the job. I am somewhat biased being an architecture student. But i honestly think he would so a great job. Engineers and Architects think in a way that is great for growth of the university in my opinion.

Bob was interim chancellor for a while I think before Santiago came on board. He was good then but my guess is the campus will look for someone with campus administration experience. Just a guess.

I'm hearing Johannes Britz. He's definitely qualified. Greenstreet would be an excellent interim seeing as he has the unique experience of having done it before.

Hate to see Lovell go, really do. But can he take the so-called 'A.D.' with him? If we lose another AD this fast, I may actually be the next AD.
