Shelby is taking credit for "not cutting" the insurance. The article (link below) indicates it was in force pre-SFT. http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060210/NEWS01/60210001 And guess who the insurance agent was for 2005. This is a classic example of faculty logic.The fact that the insurance was in force when Thames took office means nothing .Each year is an independent event in the world of casulty insurance.To the credit of the Thames administration,he chose to insure heavily while many other schools did not.He should be proud of making a good business decision and so should the faculty and student body. In my humble opinion the faculty doesn't live in the real world. What part of "I'm not on the faculty" don't you understand? For your information, I have owned or co-owned two businesses. I simply pointed out a fact. I did not criticize President Thames on this issue, but I did object to the gratuitious and unnecessary inclusion of a friend's name, which was thrown in for no apparent reason. I am sick to death of this "real world" garbage. Please tell my faculty friends with mortgages, children, car payments, crunched houses, and everything else that goes into "life" what "real" is.
This is not true. It doesn't work that way in the higher education world, friend. Maybe you and your friends ought to make an efort to understand. It is not a year-to-year thing. And besides that it is IHL who makes this decision not Tiny Thames and his minions.
donald, I'm replying because you reference my name and or remarks in two of your three posts.
It's impossible to tell what you're replying to. When you hit "quote" please go back and select and delete the parts of the quote that don't apply to what you want to say. Activeboard makes it hard to do quotes anymore, but a little effort will make your responses clearer for everyone. Thanks.
