Frank and Gary and their lawyers are now in one room, and Shelby and his lawyers are in another room, and Anderson is going back and forth trying to cut a deal between him. Appears the judge does not think there is enough evidence against our profs to continue.

Fire Shelby, Could you check with Gary and Frank and ask if there is STILL an need for contributions to their defense fund? Surly they can say yes or no to such a question. Their answer may clear up many of the discussions now underway on the FS Board (if you get my drift) Otherside

For discussion purposes only I pose this question. What if the "wealthy alumni" had not got their way in July '01 and Horrace Fleming was granted another 4 years. Where would the University be today?

The morning's session strained disbelief. Shelby et al are monitoring the emails of whomever they deem dangerous (i.e., those who disagree). A frightening prospect.
