Reporter,

If the Board decides not to extend Thames' contract, it will mean that a majority is now admitting that it screwed up. (Not exactly how it screwed up, but if it gets rid of Thames, I think we'll be able to tolerate that bit of uncertainty.)

If the Board decides to give Thames four more years, under present conditions, that doesn't prove the conspiracy theory true--such a decision be made by really obstinate, foolish individuals who can't admit making a mistake. (And no one here believes that anyone on the Board is like that, right? ) But I think it would convince most of us that the Board expected Thames to be awful and wants him to keep being that way.

Why this FS motion and not last year's no confidence vote by the whole faculty? (I know,
I know, we were acting "emotionally without all of the facts"--supposedly.) But that message was very clear and the IHL didn't hear it then. It makes them look worse to acknowledge it now, though of course, they should. Better late than never.
