General Discussion

Needless to say, she (and I) were extremely upset. The weasely admin caved to threats from the state Attorney General and Lt Governor when they threatened a take-over similar to what they executed at Indiana University if she weren't fired.

The President tried to calm faculty and staff by assuring them they they would "vigorously defend" the suit and that "they would reveal their evidence at trial." This was widely interpreted as meaning they had jack shit. Mearns (the President) was also sued personally in his capacity as President since he said the firing was his decision. He settled first, and while his settlement has been kept quiet, the word is that it was 6-figures as well. In other words, students and taxpayers get screwed to placate our psychotic state government.

This is GREAT news.
