What a total goof!
Disney’s Goofy replaces Kyle Farmbry as Guilford College president
If Goofy can be transformed into Robin Hood, as depicted here by an Argentine (we think) artist, then why not an ascension to the Office of the President at Guilford?

In a shocking upset, it seems as though fictional cartoon character Goofy, of “A Goofy Movie” fame, has usurped Kyle Farmbry as the new president of Guilford College. This left many scratching their heads, staff and students alike. Why would the College’s board of trustees select a being that doesn’t exist, let alone an incompetent one?
The reason for this change in leadership is likely the fact that the Walt Disney Company has gifted Guilford with $1.5 million to start a film school on campus, but that comes with a bit of a catch.
Students are already vocalizing their dissatisfaction with the College’s new president. It seems the choice of Goofy as Guilford’s leader has completely delegitimized the image of this institution of higher learning, where even the president is not elected because of his values, but because of the mega-conglomerate that owns his copyright.
“What kind of Mickey Mouse organization is this?!” one student reportedly said during a protest rally.
“Despite what everyone may think, I ain’t no dippy dog,” Mr. Goof told The Guilfordian. “I may seem like a clumsy idiot in TV and the movies, but I have plenty of experience with college!
“Why, I was even enrolled at the same time as my son,” Goof said, referring to his child Maximilian “Max” Goof. “The way I see it, the world owes me a livin’.”
The Guilfordian has reached out to Max Goof, but he has declined to respond.
