What does A Chancellor Do ?


Vanderbilt University - now that the party continues having named a new chancellor for Vanderbilt. The question , that question , that damned eternal abomination of a question , continues to dwell on people's minds. Only the really smart people , who don't want to appear dumb , act like they know the answer.
So , , , , what's that question again ? " What does a chancellor do ?
Well , once you know the answer , then you'll realize " the why " , Zeppos got the job.

At Vanderbilt , there's only one thing , that's right , just " 1 " thing and nothing else , that the chancellor is required to do. RAISE MONEY ! ! ! ! ! and nothing else. That's all there is , to being Vanderbilt's chancellor.

Many people , in error , think the chancellor runs the university and that's totally ridiculous. Vanderbilt is run , by it's different departments. This is why there is soo much dysfunction among Vanderbilt's hierarchy. Everyone wants to be the boss , butt , not everyone wants to be chancellor.
Remember Joe B. ? He stepped up to run the university and he almost got run out of town. He managed to crawl back into his office and he never did that again.
The only reason Zeppos got the chancellor position is M-O-N-E-Y and nothing else. Joe B. wrote the book on " Giving to Vanderbilt " and Gee followed it step by step and he was quite successful. Zeppos already knows the book and no doubt , he 2 will be successful.
Now , do you understand what a chancellor does at Vanderbilt ?
