There was more news today about the ongoing saga of the state education officials, who want to fire our college president, and the president, who doesn't want to go, and has requested a formal hearing.
We do now have an "acting president," so the University business can proceed in a more-or-less normal manner. Our official president is still barred from setting foot on University property.
Previous "word" had been that the hearing would be held in mid-September. Not so. The newspaper says that the state education board has hired two additional "outside" attorneys for the upcoming fight, not only for the hearing, but for any forthcoming lawsuits. The judge to preside over the hearing has been chosen. The university staff and faculty got another email about several ongoing audits on campus, urging us to cooperate. Now, the word is the hearing will be perhaps in mid-October, but the date has still not be set.
I have a feeling that when the hearing finally occurs, the fireworks will be visible for several miles.
I just keep humming that old Roy Clark song, "Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone."
