Rumor swirling around campus
(Preview)
All morning I'd been hearing that Angie Dvorak stormed out of the dome saying she was going on "leave of absence" for an indefinite period of time. Just a minute ago I heard that the story was true, but that it was Lisa Mader. I'm pretty sure by tonight we might hear that it is true for one of th...

question for board participants...
(Preview)
We all know the kinds of beliefs that many of Shelby's supporters (e.g., Billy Hewes, etc.) hold about certain segments of society. We all know that Reuben Anderson is an African American. We all believe SFT clearly lost yesterday.
Question: how many times do you think the "n" word wa...

What if Shelby is Wrong?
(Preview)
"Shelby's Right,"
I see you keep posting the same email on this website over and over again. So what if Shelby is wrong? What are all his followers going to do? What is SGA going to do? What are YOU going to do?

WAY OFF TOPIC: quick dinner

First, I apologize for going way off topic and FS can delete this post if she wants.
Where can I get some really good grilled fish under $9 other than the Cresent City Grill (for obvious reasons).

What if Shelby is right?

Fact: Shelby’s actions have all been taken within the system of the university’s governance. He has followed policies and procedures.
Fact: G&S have acted outside of the system as evidenced by their e-mails indicating there improper and unwarranted investigation of Dr. Dvorak....

Just got off the phone with my mom. Gave her a 5 minute history of USM's crises. In reference to Thames, she told me to tell everyone on the board don't worry, "he'll get 'his'. . ."
Way to go mom! You rock!!!

Quick question about downtime on the board

Did the board "hiccup" for anyone else awhile ago--about 20 minutes ago?
I am thinking about setting up an alternate board, just in case this board ever crashes.
Thanks,

IHL
(Preview)
Shouldnt the IHL be questioned about their original decision to appoint the lawyer who ended up representing Thames to "ensure fairness" in the hearing?
Seems to me at best this was a very poor decision bringing into question the board's competence, and at worst it was an attempt to influen...

Roy Klumb speaks in the HA
(Preview)
After reading the article in the HA by Nikki Davis Maute, it is very apparent to me that Klumb intends to "sit" on the settlement issue until the May 20th meeting. If I am not mistaken, I believe that Justice Anderson requested that the settlement be addressed ASAP so that the "healing at the univ...

a guy who "won" to you?
This photo was taken, I believe, after the hearing reconvened and Anderson announced a settlement. Perhaps the Printz photog can tell us if it was taken before the annoucement, but I believe it's from after.
Not a happy camper if you ask me!

"He informed us that he was fixing to make a personnel change that he felt was in the best interest of the university," Klumb said, "and he sai...
