I think I'm gonna start a rumor that Bernard Muir has been promoted to Provost, and then scan the horizon for the towering inferno when the Cardboard server erupts into flame.

I am not sure it would. It would be regarded by many as a mixed blessing. He would no longer be the AD, and some would say that it would be impossible to find anyone worse. Others would say that finding someone worse was inevitable, as Muir would be doing the hiring. Others would say the whole thing was Shaw's fault. Just when you think you have the Cardboard figured out, somebody will come up with a new angle.

The problem is that Muir would then be responsible for hiring his replacement...this would not be a good thing
