  1. This is just heartbreaking
  2. My longstanding theory is they are going the rewrite history and write out slavery, Obama, and make Fat Boy the new Washington
  3. Fake Red Fives posting on a fake surly website
  4. In response to the deadly flooding in Texas
  5. This country is lost
  6. We give him praise on this day!
  7. No it won’t. Signed, A Black
  8. And then in 3 years, those American refugees will be welcomed with open arms to New Bethlehem
  9. Well Fat Boy isn’t for anything. He’s for whatever people who pay him the most money tell him to be for. He has no morals or thought process. I think Dems better be prepared for meddling by Fat Boy and Nazi Miller in the midterms. They need to be preparing for that to happen like yesterday.
  10. I don’t think the Dems have money so they aren’t dumping money anywhere. Swalwell was on PSA and they were discussing how big money dem donors are hesitant right now. i just want to know who made the call on Colin running again in Texas.
  11. It’s a mental illness. These people need help
  12. Microsoft laying off 9,000 per the reports
  13. Well more leaders (Presidents) are leaving once they get their years in to get that salary and can retire. The average years of service for a President today is around 2-3 years. Are consultants to blame for that? Ehh, maybe. What I’m finding is those who insist on using consulting firms for critical, executive positions do so because either the BoT or the President has no educational background/experience. Where I’m at now, our sister college needs a college President. So our Chancellor (that’s another story in itself) and BoT decided to use a search firm and pay them $150,000, all while we are in a “budget crunch.” What happened? It was declared a failed search. So they are going back out again this summer, using the same firm, paying the same 150k, and will come up with something that’s probably shit. A friend of mine and I have a theory—we believe those who are hired because of the search firm are told to enter into an agreement that when they get to a certain level and they need to do a nationwide search, they must use the search firm that found them their job. That keeps the firms going. But yes, there are some of my colleagues who really, really, really suck at their jobs—VPs, other Deans, etc. I’ve been told more than once that people like me because I’m a genuine leader who cares about higher ed and making the college run more efficiently while having student success compared to other leaders here who just want the paycheck. I appreciate that, sure, but it’s doing so much damage that we don’t need right now.
