What conclusion can the reader draw about Mr. Gau?
A.
He graduated from the University of Texas.
B.
He worked for the University of Texas before he was picked to lead the business school.
C.
He is personal friends with Mr. Faulkner and other administrators.
D.
He wanted the job more than the other candidates did.

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.
UT President Larry Faulkner said Friday in a letter to administrators and search committee members that he spent the past three weeks trying to decide whether to choose Gau or look for an outsider who might bring a higher profile and shake things up.
"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. "However, my hope does not extend to the point of being willing to take a pass on the strongest candidate just because he comes from the inside."

The answer is B. He was chosen from the "inside" meaning he already worked there. Someone who would have been picked from the outside would be someone who didn't work there.
