I have seen mention on this board of removing Doty via a no confidence vote. I believe that the DMBA vote this Friday, if constructed as everyone believes now, will be tantamount to a 'no confidence' vote on Doty's leadership. I also think he will get a marginal victory on Friday. But, w...

Imagine how pi$$ed you'd be if you were a newly-fired College Technology Officer in a college that is preparing to spend $1,000,000 on an online program for 10-15 people. At $50,000/year, that $1,000,000 could pay 5 CTOs' salaries for 4 years. It's good to know where the priorities are...........
