UConn Interim President Andrew Agwunobi to Depart for Private Sector

[RSTuthill]

@RSTuthill Compared with an interim university President role and unclear UConn Health System CEO future, how/why is reporting directly to Humana's CEO, a senior leadership role on the management team of one of the nation's leading health care delivery and plan administration companies, and FT-focus on Agwunobi's expertise a consolation prize? Still wrapped in political malarkey, yet similar if not potentially markedly higher overall compensation.

You need to understand that he is an academic. Remember when Jeff Immelt got the GE job? There were two others in the running, Bob Nardelli and Jim McNerney. They left the next day after being told they would not get it. This is the same.

Noted, your opinion, indirectly related anecdote, no acknowledgment of Agwunobi's pre-UConn Health business and health administration bio. If indeed Agwunobi was still pursuing the UConn presidency, an extra mil or so of Humana's comp's not the worst purported "consolation prize".
