The really scary part of that article was the [Mark May] with Perry and BoT. They really are trying to turn UT into a diploma mill, and if they force out Powers, they'll probably get their way. I couldn't imagine having a board of trustees with a sizable portion not only completely disloyal to the university but actually operating against its best interests.
Oh wait, I can: Shades of Jim Rhodes packing our BoT with fucking car dealers in the 1970s.
Fortunately or unfortunately its not gonna happen.. Abbot the AG who is running for Gov & the majority of the legislature are all UT grads or fans and support Powers beyond 100%. Perry tried, but his boys got impatient and started to move too soon, and everyone in the legislature cried fowl including the LT Gov, it woulda been a full on war but Perry & Co backed away, they are still there but they lost alot by moving to soon. So Perry will make his Alma Mater into a diploma mill once he's the Prez
