Wow! The potential corruption which can go in in the office of college and university presidents is now out there. My husband used to work on a college staff and he told me that essentially, the college president is about raising money, just like a politician, and that he is also, essentially, a dictator. Most of the time the trustees will go along with the head rolling, etc. I guess in this case, the choice was too threatening for people to stay totally quiet.

I think the fears had more to do with Goldin than with their positions on the board.

Dan Goldin ORDERS you NOT to click the related thread below: Related thread: Will Massachusetts' Attorney General Tom Reilly do anything about Dan Goldin's recent $1.7 million dollar severance package, and especially the aerospace lobbyist / Boston U. board member Gerald Cassidy who brought this on tuition payers and U.S. taxpayers that subsidize B.U. (and most other universities nationwide)?

How nice, now Goldin has the money to finish that dream house in Mailbu. How in the hell did he think he could run BU from the living room of his new home in Malibu?
His wife was not even going to move to Boston, just show up at the high profile dinners and fund raisers.
What a great job, First Class airfare to and from Malibu, going home on the weekends and not taking part in most of the activities that the President of a University is expected to do. Why the hell isn't he looking for nice academic job, say at Pepperdine?
Where can I sign up???
