GW's new president must always "meaningfully incorporate faculty, and staff, and student voices into major decisions about the university’s future.” --Erin Chapman, President GWUFA

@gwhatchet Don’t forget about staff. We run the university and should have a voice in the next president selection as well.

Terrific editorial: "The next president must be everything that LeBlanc was not – considerate of the student body’s wishes, invested in...the long-established academic &social culture at this school and dedicated to uplifting students from historically marginalized communities."

[The GW Hatchet @gwhatchet]

EDITORIAL BOARD: To prevent the next University president from becoming LeBlanc 2.0, the Board of Trustees needs to bring students and faculty to the table to pick a replacement who is genuinely receptive to the GW community

Hi GW! We are currently working on a story about students’ reactions to Leblanc’s recent announcement to retire after the 2021-2022 year. If you are interested and would be available for a brief interview sometime before Friday, we would really appreciate it!

The Hatchet will publish a special edition this coming Monday, May 24.

shoutout @gwufa1 @sunrisemvmtgwu and everybody who exposed the terrible job leblanc was doing. I’ve had a bad taste in my mouth ever since the board spent $500K on the lamest event ever introducing him...good riddance!!

George Washington University President Thomas LeBlanc to retire in 2022 ... via @laurenmlumpkin ... That would make five years at the helm when he steps down. He has had plenty of faculty critics. https://t.co/vNH7nGJMqE

The Board was set to decide whether to renew his contract in the coming weeks.

@gwhatchet Why not the end of 2020-2021 school year?

@gwhatchet big “you can’t fire me, I quit” vibes
