RE: Noel Polk

As soon as the news becomes "offcial" (i.e., once Noel Polk himself announces it publicly), I will contact The Chronicle. I suspect THEY will be interested -- not only because of NP's international reputation but also because his move will just be one more indication of how badly one university president can ruin the academic school in the space of one year. Nice going, Shelby!

No newsworthy item on me or the others (although I could have provided enough newsworthy material to fill up an entire edition)."

I wish that you and all the others (and there must be many) were newspaper items. You should be.

Get ready. There's a former faculty member who has a prelim date with the judge a week from today (Chaze and the guys from Adams and Reese will be in attendance). Stay tuned.

Interested bystander,

My particular story could have very well worked its way into the newspapers had I had acted soon enough and decisively enough. If I could go back in time things would be much different - for me and for the university.

NO QUARTER!
