Well, now we are getting somewhere. (And have you noticed we now have a couple of threads with some substance?)

I'd say if Barbour appoints Satan it will be a wash. Anyone else, we'll come out better.

Date: Dec 15, 2005

It was the only honorable thing for him to do, as he has such a poor attendance record this year.

IHL press release

http://www.ihl.state.ms.us/newsstory.asp?ID=365

BOARD OF TRUSTEES ANNOUNCES CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP
12/15/2005 (Jackson, Miss. ) -

Mr. Roy Klumb, a member of the IHL Board of Trustees from Gulfport, Mississippi, has respectfully submitted his resignation from the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Klumb cited business and personal reasons, indicating he no longer has the time required of him for the appointed position.
“Roy has often presented a different point of view, and his voice will be missed in our deliberations,” said Board President Virginia Shanteau Newton. “He has served the state well for nearly a decade as a champion for a quality education at an affordable price. It is with deep regret that we accept his resignation.”
Mr. Klumb was appointed to the Board in 1996 by Governor Fordice. His appointment was set to expire May 7, 2008. According to Mississippi state statutes, Governor Barbour will make the appointment to replace Mr. Klumb during the next legislative session.
Under the leadership of the Board of Trustees, IHL governs the public universities in Mississippi, including Alcorn State University; Delta State University; Jackson State University; Mississippi State University including the Mississippi State University Division of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine; Mississippi University for Women; Mississippi Valley State University; the University of Mississippi including the University of Mississippi Medical Center; and the University of Southern Mississippi.

"Missed" ?? Like a sore tooth maybe.

Date: Dec 15, 2005

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! (just had to get into the spirit of the season and all...)

Wow, this is the first piece of good news for USM that I've seen in a looooong time. So glad that delurking from my Winter Lurkitude coincided with this good piece of news.

Let's hope that Klumb's replacement will at least know what the IHL *does* before accepting the job (and that s/he is not a Fish and Game Commission wannabe).

Truth (now THIS is some good dirty laundry that's long overdue for some washing!)

I nominate Frank Glamser to take his place.

Would Frank's status as a "consultant" constitute an undue conflict of interest?

Is this the end game to give SFT a place to go to get him out as president?

If he goes now, he would even have a hand in selecting his replacement.

Don't you love it when a plan comes together?

Date: Dec 15, 2005

With only 11 members does it now take only 6 votes to oust a president? Hmmm.

Date: Dec 16, 2005

There once was an idot named Roy.
He'd open his mouth and annoy
Anyone with a brain
Who was even half sane.
He's gone now. O boy and O joy!

...In a phone interview, Klumb said his businesses in Gulfport and Tennessee, as well as his College Board duties, take up most of his time, and he wants to spend more time with his children.

"It was just time," Klumb said....

From the CL article: "Klumb received a bachelor's degree in political science from Mississippi State University."

I thought somebody said on the message board that his degree was in ornamental horticulture.

My favorite quote from the Sun Herald article is the last line:

"I've enjoyed it, and I've learned a lot," he said."

That was a very expensive education.

Please don't tell me that the Bulldogs in Starkville objected to his presence on the IHL in view of the impending search for a new president of that school. Don't even think about it

Kumb was on the search committee for Lee's replacment at MSU....

Why not Michael Moore or Howard Dean? They fit right in with the USM faculty.

I nominate anyone from the Tupelo-based American Family Association, perhaps even the saint Rev. Donald Wildmon. Something must be done to bring these godless, liberal, un-American, know-nothing Mississippi faculties into line! Fire 'em all, I say. Let's replace them only with god-fearing, Bible-quoting, gay-hating, un-worldly men who know how to educate a child (with a paddle if need be).

Klumb resigns from College Board By Rachel Leifer and Reuben Mees

http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051216/NEWS01/512160305/1002

"University of Southern Mississippi President Shelby Thames called Klumb a friend and was surprised he resigned. Klumb supported Thames when he came under fire for administrative decisions he made."

...

"Stephen Judd... said that Klumb often created a philosophical divide between himself and the members of Mississippi's academia.

"The bigger issue is that the new structure will enable the members of the board to do the larger job and maybe he was not comfortable with that," Judd said, explaining a recent change in the college board's philosophy."

...

"... one thing we clearly disagreed with Roy on," Judd said.

"He wants to be involved in the daily runnings of a number of universities - not just Southern Miss. At times he was playing a" little too close to the process instead of standing back and letting the universities run themselves."

In the photo that accompanies the HA article, Roy bears an uncanny resemblance to barney Frank.

I'm sure that both Roy and Barney would be offended by the comparison.

Now pay close attention, children, because this will be on your final exam. Here we have a classic example of what your textbook calls "stereotyping." You will note that those who complain the loudest about stereotyping by others are often the very same people that frequently use the technique as a derogatory hit-and-run slam on people or groups whose views they do not share. Those who stereotype in the manner get their reward when they hear the "yes, yes" rumble from their sympathizers. Stereotypers of this variety, while appearing on the surface to be open minded and flexible, are usually rather rigid and single-minded.
