Hollis Lomax

You won’t find me in the spotlight, but I’m always in the room where the decisions happen. My name is Hollis Lomax, and if you’ve ever been on the wrong end of a committee recommendation or a mysteriously denied sabbatical, we might already know each other too well. I don’t raise my voice. I don’t have to. A well-placed delay, a quiet word in a dean’s ear — that’s how the real work gets done. And if you’re wondering why you’re teaching three sections of Freshman Comp while your colleague gets a book deal? Let’s just say it’s not random. I never forget who’s in my way.
