Was this the same bozo that had the 10,000 square foot house built for the President while he was president?
(I should not call him a bozo, its unfair to Bozos)

Doesn’t Michigan employ a couple of convicted Weather Underground nut cases as tenured professors?
This doesn’t surprise me in the least.
YPSILANTI, Mich. — The president of Eastern Michigan University was fired, months after top university officials were accused of covering up the rape and slaying of a student by publicly ruling out foul play.
The president, John Fallon, confirmed that he was fired Sunday evening by a unanimous vote of the Board of Regents, The Ann Arbor News reported in its Monday editions. Board secretary Jackie Kurtz on Monday confirmed the firing to The Associated Press.
Fallon told the newspaper that his termination letter was delivered Sunday night and did not state a reason for his firing. The letter said the board had voted unanimously to terminate his employment contract effective Sunday — two years after his five-year contract took effect.
"As a citizen, I am disappointed in this hastily called meeting, without any opportunity to be present or to respond," Fallon told the newspaper. "I have a story to tell and intend to tell it."
The president's dismissal follows an independent law firm investigation and U.S. Department of Education report, both of which found that the 23,500-student public university violated the federal Clery Act, which requires colleges and universities to disclose campus security information....
Reading the quote, without clicking on the link, tells me nothing about the univ. pres. That’s not a comment on your c/p ability, it’s a comment on the newswriter’s. Maybe it’s time they fed the monkeys?
Doesn't this make them accessories?

an autopsy would have been performed - how could this be covered up?
This is something I don’t see in this part of the article.
....so, a black man is accused of assaulting and killing a white woman?
This is obvious racism....
Seems like more than just university officials should be concerned for their job. How about the hospital emergency personnel? Attending physicians? The funeral home? Anywhere along that chain someone should have noticed indications of trauma. Was there no police investigation? A coroner?
Unless the university had her secretly cremated and just delivered ashes to her parents, someone should have noticed this. Incredible.
Is that Orange Taylor wearing an orange jumpsuit?
Thing of it is. If I had a daughter who died while at a university, the university could have told me that a trio of the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and Spongebob Squarepants had killed her. OK so what? Why would I believe anything the university says especially given the fact that they almost certainly have liability issues? That’s crazy! That would be like accepting the version of the other driver in a traffic accident.
If I’m in that position I’m going to believe the official police reports if I believe anything.
Unlesss —— this is one of those deals where the university is the “controlling legal authority”. (And they may well be).
Which is to say that the local police force, DA etc. etc. have no say whatsoever in the official communications?
If that is the case, all I can say is that that’s messed up.
WRONG! Everyone involved in covering up information about Dickinson's slaying should be on trial for obstruction of justice.
Gosh, how did I know that would be the case?
Am I racist? Or just applying knowledge based on experience?
I wonder how long the media will keep this around.
"It's now time for the university to move forward," Bunsis
I had agreed with the first rational statement, until he put both feet in his mouth with the second...
Dump Bunsis, too.
Nobody should be able to move on from murder... or the attempt to minimize it's permanent grief to dozens of family and friends.
Move on indeed!
Yes, but all value systems are equal just differnt doncha know.
I do not see how the president thought he could get away with it. The truth was obviously going to come out.
Load'em up move'em out, as well as anyone else that had direct knowledge of this. Damn there is going to be BIG pay out for the tax payers on this one.
of course, the university acted immorally, unethically and irresponsibly, and you ask yourself why and we know why.....
