Evidence of Loser

AAUP Censure?

The next AAUP national meeting is in June. In theory, AAUP could (upon a report by Committee A) bring up a vote for censure of USM.
I believe that this could aid in the cause of removing Shelby.
My question is, will this do more harm than good?
If it will NOT do more harm than good, we could star...

Having considered the agreement, it seems that there is still a threat of a lawsuit by Dvorak. My theory is that S&G were informed that if they did not accept the agreement that Dvorak would indeed sue and that the IHL would terminate them immediately. The facts are not very important to Thames, the IHL...
