When asked in 2009 how he turned around Grand Canyon University, he said this. "We had a lot of very young, entrepreneurial go-getters which contrasted with the old Grand Canyon environment. Over the next year I replaced a lot of people at the university, and I also found that some talent that was better utilized in a different way, in different positions. We had to clean it out, which did involve firing a lot of people. It took three years to change the culture and arrive at the point where I wanted to be."
