Look - we get the letter from SACS stating that distance education evaluation is a problem, don't start any new programs. Then, in less than a month's time - SFT (through Grimes) tries to ramrod through a program that violates this letter's recommendations.  Does this not tell the board that he apparently does not understand or care what SACS says?  This is unbelievable.  Count   "

Counting the days, the statement reminds me of Lisa Mader's statement earlier in the week when interviewed by the Hattiesburg American.  She said

"They believe that we need to move forward and not dwell on one issue that has been played out, unfortunately, in the media where an internal issue should not have been discussed or placed," Mader said Monday. "And thus they are moving forward with other issues and events and programs and academic affairs of the institution."

Seems like Klumb, speaking for the board, is just repeating what SFT position is.  If he is "representing" the board's opinion, I wonder if there is a "minority opinion"?
