Apparently the Governor's announcement yesterday taking out three of the Board of Trustees' members who had been investigating Watson's hiring actions has emboldened Watson to fire the man who brought us up from the basement of the financial abyss over the past two years. Glenn Meeks, untenured and unafraid to speak up is the first in what no doubt will be a series of firings.
What a morally bankrupt and cynical little place we have here. If you support our role as subsidiaries to Emil's machine then keep your head in the sand. Faculty may be the only ones to call a halt to this aggressive, vindictive reassertion of "presidential power." This is the place you want to work? Start speaking out if you do not.
The Senate Higher Ed Appropriations Committee and the Senate Executive Appointments Committee (Boards of Trustees) both meet tomorrow. Get on the phone and leave a message with ALL of these people telling them your opinion of the goings on at CSU, the need for new leadership, the need to keep Rozier and the other trustees, the patronage plundering that Emil Jones has practiced through his hand-picked President Watson. Tell them something. It may not work, nothing may work, we may remain a patronage dumping ground forever, but we have to try to liberate CSU from the most egregious abuses of this most corrupt political machine.
