Power and resources are tightly held by higher administration who do not understand academic affairs/higher ed, salaries are below market so it is difficult to recruit good employees, hiring process takes several months.

Pros

It allowed me to grow professionally. Great colleagues and great state benefits. Great Chancellor- Dr. Motley. Currently they are building great facilities.

Cons

Because it is state, we were limited how much we can compete with world class universities. No dormitory but they are about to build one in the near future
