Royce Engstrom Greatest President In Montana History

Royce was actually a decent provost. As President he was in way over his head - a disaster.

The Peter Principle at it's best.

In an organizational structure, assessing an employee's potential for a promotion is often based on their performance in the current job. This eventually results in their being promoted to their highest level of competence and potentially then to a role in which they are not competent, referred to as their "level of incompetence".

Royce told his last-ever meeting with the Board of Regents that he was focused on enrollment "like a laser."

The Regents, probably associating "lasers" with melting things down or blowing things up, took him seriously.

I thought he said he was focused on it with his taser.

After a men's hoops game just before X-mas, I saw the greatest president wondering around in the upper stands by himself. No one with him. No one talking to him. No one in the vicinity looking at him. Looked lonely and lost.

Saw that. He was wandering around kind of looking for someone to talk to. He finally cornered Haslam down on the floor, who looked uncomfortable during the brief conversation.

Let's face it, he helped put U of M on the national scene.
I suppose it could have been worse.

"Lost" pretty much describes his legacy.
