Subject: Interesting Author: What What? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:45:33 04/14/05 Thu Just received this site in an email.

[> Subject: Is it true what they say? Author: Dan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:07:00 04/15/05 Fri There's no such thing as bad publicity? The press has jumped all over this deal. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Yeah, at OC Author: David [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:49:45 04/16/05 Sat ...when the former president wants to oust the current president, he simply goes to every big donor in the business community and tells them to squeeze the university until the current president resigns. Punish the students, that's the way to oust a prez! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Doesn't hindsight suggest... Author: OC'91 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:34:22 04/18/05 Mon ...that Jacobs truly needed to go? Lot's of things have happened since that would seem to suggest him moving on was the right thing to happen. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Oh, hindsight probably suggests Author: David [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:50:27 04/18/05 Mon ...that he should never have been hired in the first place. It's just sad that a president who spent the last five years of his presidency in hibernation would further hurt the university by telling donors to stop giving money because he doesn't like the guy who replaced him. And yes, I think O'Neal has the school on the right track. I'm more on the outside now so I don't see as much, but I've generally liked what I've seen. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Interesting Author: TKB [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:08:40 04/16/05 Sat Someone sent me the email too, I didn't sign...partly because I don't know enough on the situation. By the way, what's up with people anonymously siging a petition? That's weak. Furthermore, President Brister was very good to me during my stay at OBU. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
