In his WDAM interview Shelboo said "I can't make everybody like me. I've tried that and it doesn't work."
I must have missed his attempt to "make everyone like me". At which point in his presidency did he do that (I was out of town for several days last March; did I miss it?).
He made me not like him exactly 35 days after he took office. Thrilled to know he's still "having fun"! Was Caligula having fun at this same point in his career?
If we go back to 1995 - we revisit original Lucas years, the Fleming years, the Lucas year, and the Thames years --- I refuse to believe that 1995 -2001 are the years where we basically tanked. When a president knows in 2003, we might me in some kind of trouble and chooses to do nothing, not tell a soul, and continue to want all of us to be potential millionaires as long as we play his game, I place the blame on him, the guy making the big money, playing with the big money, and losing all of our money if we don't get SACS accreditation. Is it going to personally financially hurt him? No. Hell, he's just "having fun". Well, I'm not having quite as much fun as he is, and I'm out looking for a new job where a president has less fun and pays more attention to running a university, instead of RUINing it.
