Cobb was fired in late May after 13 years as athletic director. | ||
| + | The public's input will be considered too. An open forum will be held July 24 for people who want to share their thoughts on what qualities they think the next athletic director should have, the university said. | ||
| + | A new athletic director is expected to be named by early fall. | ||
| + | "This is a critical hire for the university and our timeline is aggressive," Bill Spindle, UAA vice chancellor for Administrative Services, said in the release. "We are committed to finding the right leader for a program that has brought much pride and honor to UAA. I'm confident that working with an extremely well-respected search firm will result in the hiring of a dynamic leader who will continue to move our program positively forward." | ||
| + | UAA said the search will be confidential "in order to attract the best and most-qualified candidates." No finalists will be made public, it said -- only the final choice. | ||
| + | In addition to Eastman Beaudine,[http://www.theswellseason.com/discuss/topic.php?id=299456#post-315001 DirecTV Emerges as Frontrunner to Purchase Hulu], UAA named a committee that is a blend of university employees and non-employees to assist in the search. | ||

Other members include Jeff Edwards, a member of the hockey team from 1994 to 1998; Bobbi Olson, a longtime booster and former chairwoman of the Great Alaska Shootout; Deborah Narang, a UAA math professor and the school's faculty athletic representative; and Bill MacKay, retired senior vice president for Alaska Airlines, a long-time UAA corporate sponsor. | ||
| + | The makeup of the committee resembles the makeup of the second committee formed for UAA's recent search for a hockey coach. That committee was revamped due to public criticism of the original committee, which consisted solely of university employees, none of them associated with hockey. | ||
| + | Eastman Beaudine is headquartered in Plano, Texas. A 2009 Sports Illustrated article called it "the nation's top sports executive recruiting firm." On its website, Eastman Beaudine says it has placed more than 40 athletic directors at major universities. | ||
| + | The job opening is posted at . Applications will be accepted until July 24. | ||

| + | == Some Perspective on Student Loan Debt Fears == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>College is expensive—and getting more so in recent years, with costs advancing at a rate far exceeding overall inflation. And many students borrow (occasionally heavily) to meet the expense—including some who have no immediate hope of repayment after graduation. With government college loan rates potentially set to reset higher in July, this has ignited fears of a potential debt-drag on US economic growth. Yet, given some perspective, these fears seem very unwarranted from a market and economic impact point of view. | ||
| + | The issue at hand seems to be the scheduled July 1, 2013 expiration of 2007 legislation that gradually reduced student loan rates. If nothing changes, rates would double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. Student loan delinquencies already exceed credit cards,[http://dcportal.dc-hosting.pl/wiki/index.php/U%C5%BCytkownik:KevinLee883#David_Drake_Discusses_the_Current_State_of_Crowdfunding David Drake Discusses the Current State of Crowdfunding], and some fear the rise would crush recent college graduates. | ||
| + | Higher rates would clearly impact the students and graduates involved. Yet the student loan market is government-guarantee dominated—there's very little private sector exposure here. In fact, the government is currently originating roughly 93 percent of overall student loans,[http://szxslt.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=19138 ], up from 77 percent prior to 2008. So for inherently private sector stocks and markets, the direct effect is minimal at best. | ||
| + | Another reason the effect is minimal is only would be impacted. The affected rates are only on —issued after July 1,[http://www.hrs-salzhausen.de/mediawiki/index.php?title=Benutzer:Taylor830#Is_It_Time_for_Your_Financial_Checkup- Is It Time for Your Financial Checkup-], 2012. Preexisting loan rates are unaffected. | ||
| + | But this all assumes July 1 comes and rates shoot higher. And that’s a speculative bet at best. Just last year, Congress faced the on this exact topic—a looming automatic rate hike on July 1. Yet,[http://wiki.npl.ch/wiki/Benutzer:Taylor185#Wholesale_Inventories_Unexpectedly_Drop_in_May.2C_Sales_Up Wholesale Inventories Unexpectedly Drop in May, Sales Up], when push came to shove, a last-minute extension was passed on June 29. Hence, it seems there’s plenty of time to figure out a deal before the automatic rate increase occurs, particularly given Congress's penchant for last minute can-kicking. | ||
| + | And talks are already underway. Many and varied versions of bills circulating Capitol Hill presently seek to forestall the rate doubling. are getting little attention and stand next-to-no chance of passing. Other bills with broader support seek to extend current rates. Still others, like a , tie rates to 10-year bond yields plus a spread. That's similar to a proposal in President Obama's budget, though the spread and terms differ. There's currently ample time and political will to prevent this student-loan-fiscal rock climb. And importantly, while many may unfortunately carry student loan debt, the unemployment rate for those is presently 3.9%, down from its recent cyclical peak of 5.1%. Hence,[http://sj.sanya.gov.cn/Review.asp?NewsID=394 Chevron Lowers Second Quarter Expectations After Production Snafus], the number of folks with a degree, too much debt and no job is seemingly a small share of total borrowers. | ||
| + | Last year, when the extension passed, it was an election year—perhaps a factor in its passing. Yet in a very realistic sense, politicians are nearly always on the campaign trail. We're betting relatively few of them decide they want to look as though they're putting a big squeeze on higher education, and will vote for politically popular proposals pushing out loan rate hikes further. | ||
