Sullivan....most people may not realize....was about to be fired in September of 2012. She was originally hired and given a list of priorities to realign the school with cost-savings and bring in modern technology (more on-line courses), and given a time-frame to show progress. By summer of 2012...she was showing almost no progress and the university council decided to dump her and move on.
The professors at the college engaged....got student involvement, and some state newspapers to go along with their agenda....thus keeping Sullivan on. As far as I know...cost-savings have yet to be demonstrated.
In this case, and many other universities around the US...you simply don’t have the dynamic characters to look at budget issues and university happenings...dispensing justice, budget cuts, and wisdom. You need a non-academic in charge....like some Army General...who is looking out for the student, rather than everyone else.
If Colleges and Universities want Federal dollars and loans (their life blood), they had to enact draconian system to punish and demonize men, especially if the men were not guilty.
One word: liability
Teresa Sullivan followed the basic Liberal Lie, to wit, “All males are evil and capable of everything imaginable. All females are imbued with the light of Gaia.” Everything else follows.
