[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 191263, member: 2175"] Not quite sure where you've come down on this, and I can agree that the dogmatic "or else" gene that has clogged our political system is bad for the entire country, football or otherwise. But your contention that the administration did act, but in secret, just makes no sense to me. What in the world would be the point? The protest was real, and outside, and they made changes secretly inside? Nah. I read what the president said, yadda yadda yadda, and have seen enough of CYA to know he was hunkering down big time. April. Really? We will change in April? Isn't this just November? In short, it will all disappear by then. His resignation was good, and well handled by him. He went out saying the things he should have been saying with the very first incident of the "n" word scrawled on U of Mo walls. You're right: there was no leadership because the guy was a political "business" appointee with no academic knowledge or experience, and never made any effort to get any. Ignoring protesting students is bad form and even a bidnessman knows that. I would hope that everybody on the board, with roots at any university or college, would protest mightily if such conduct went on there. I am not a GT grad, a sidewalk fan for a long time, but I cannot imagine such conduct being tolerated at the Institute, by administration, faculty or students. And if I were a U of Mo football fan, today I would be very proud of those players and coaches for doing the right thing that the adults in the room refused to do. [/QUOTE]
