There’s jobs for everybody in health care.”</p> <p>Before joining UNTD, Brown was provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at Wayne State University in Detroit. He was also dean of the College of Health Professions and Social Work and an interim dean of the School of Dentistry at Temple University in Philadelphia.</p> <p>“I’m very familiar with all facets of health care,” he said.</p> <p>The match between Mong and UNTD started in May with a newspaper article and a phone call.</p> <p>Lee Jackson, the chancellor of the UNT System, read about Mong’s retirement from <em>The News</em> after a 46-year journalism career. One thing the article didn’t mention: Mong’s post-retirement plans.</p> <p>Jackson called Mong and asked him to lunch. Over that meal and subsequent meetings, they talked about whether Mong might be interested in the UNTD gig.</p> <p>Jackson spoke Thursday of Mong’s deep ties with the Dallas community, keen interest in higher education, and unusual management experience.</p> <p>“He’s been not only a journalist, but a business leader for the corporation in a changing industry that has some similarities to higher education,” Jackson said.</p> <p>“To keep adjusting what you’re doing in the face of a very competitive arena and maintain success and profitability is not a bad preparation for what we’re now discussing in higher education,” Jackson said.</p> <p>“For the first time in hundreds of years, people have assumed that the business model of higher education was just one thing: You come and you sit in these desks for four years and you get this piece of paper. And every assumption is now up for grabs in higher education.”</p> <p>The timing worked out because Jackson was also talking to Brown about a new role in the system that would build on his research and management strengths.</p> <p>Brown is expected to start his new job Aug. 1. By state law, regents must wait three weeks until Mong can officially be named UNTD president. These next 21 days will be an audition period of sorts for Mong, Jackson said.</p> <p>Mong said he plans to meet with everyone from faculty to staff to community leaders.</p> <p>Jackson and the regents made an unconventional pick with Mong. And they’ve done it in an unusual way: They made the decision fairly quickly, without posting the president’s job, conducting a national search or forming a local search committee to help out.</p> <p>Jackson he said he knows people will have questions. “I understand and I respect that,” he said. And he said that Mong knows Dallas and the importance of education and economic development in southern Dallas County.</p> <p>“He is a thought leader,” Jackson said, “and he’s known and respected by community thought leaders.”</p> <p><em>Staff writer Dianna Hunt contributed to this report.</em></p> </div></p><div id="ctx-sl-subscribe" class="ctx-clearfix"></div> <link rel="stylesheet"

That Golden Parachute worked like a charm! I notice there was no mention of salary in this piece, but I’m sure you’ll be doing better than you would on Social Security! By the way, did you get in on the DMN buyout, or did you miss out on that one? Hope you didn’t leave anything on the table. <div>Interesting how you think “every assumption is up for grabs in higher education “. I think there IS one assumption we can make with some certainty: the cost of education at UNT is gonna go up soon, and KEEP going up. Hey, WHO NEEDS RETIREMENT when there’s still money to make, right?</div> </div> <div class="reply"> </div> </article> </li> </ol> </div>  </div> </div> <div id="right" class="right-column
