A Freudian slip that betrays the true nature of his interim presidency, that is, unless he is a nouveau Queen Victoria, as in "we are not amused..." The Board's arid bleatings a day ago set one's teeth on edge, but this sanctimoniousness coming from a non-academic corporate guy in presidential robes is beyond the pale. He can't really believe that he has much if any autonomous executive authority. He must know that he could become the next fall guy for the powers behind the throne who orchestrated the overthrow of Calhoun. <br /><br />My loyalty is with the students, not the hypocrites in the administration. At the board meeting last week, the students said that they were the ones in Springfield and on the streets in Chicago last spring fighting for CSU. I second that emotion. I did not spend time at meetings and protests last spring myself to protect the jobs of Angela Henderson, Patrick Cage, Renee Mitchell or Cecil Lucy and the rest of Watson's team that remains intact across the campus. It was clear from the videos and transcripts of the board meeting that the students are fed up with a tone-deaf Board of Trustees and administration. I doubt condescending and sanctimonious letters from the Cook Building will sway them.Ann Kuzdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168556306929918973noreply@blogger.com
