story: after considering an outside search to fill one of its most visible positions, the university of texas named one of its own employees friday to lead the mccombs school of business.
george gau, 54, will replace outgoing dean bob may, who will return to teaching. in a career dating to 1988, gau has earned a strong reputation for starting joint ventures with businesses and creating a nationally recognized real estate program.

"there was a hope by many involved in this search that we could recruit the right person from the outside, in part just because we had gone inside for so long. i was among them," faulkner wrote.
