Total bullshit...

 

[Dryden]

So Dr. Gee, after raising billions of dollars advocating for the real mission of the university, is being ushered into retirement over some shit he said about sports?

About sports ... in a closed door meeting ... attended only by other faculty ... six months ago.

Christ on a crutch.

That's a paddlin'

I didn't like the comments made; but to be forced out is way over the top. Fingers crossed Gene Smith is now disposable before he gets his way and destroys the 'shoe.

 

[Bucklion]

I'm sure Karen Holbrook is available.

 

[Bucklion]

BTW not to be Devil's Advocate but are we sure this comes from pressure over his comments from BOT or donors or something? Are we sure he isn't just hanging it up because he's tired of the negative press when he says off the cuff stuff? Or is that what we think, that it's the press and not University pressure? I guess I am confused as to what caused this decision exactly...

Well he would be the anti-Gee...he could talk for days and never say anything offensive...or anything, for that matter, at all.

I detest the media in this country with every ounce of my being. bloodsuckers, all of them.

On the other hand, the bowtie to sweater vest would be a smooth transition.

Don't you just love it how they're rejoicing right now? Like they (media) just accomplished something in their F'ing lives.

 

[colobuck79]

Its only partially the media's fault. The bigger part of the fault lies on the board, faculty, alumni and the rest for not staying the course and telling the media to piss up a rope. So long as the people continue to let this kind of thing happen, it will continue to happen.

To be honest, the only thing required of this job is to not fuck things up ala Holbrook. Grossly overpaid like all university admin jobs.
