[RubberMallet]

haha he can take it. ...maybe

[BJWilliams]

Rubber if I want to brown nose I'll go out in the sun for a couple hours...heck then I'll be nice and brown all over

[thepostman]

that is a big maybe!!

He did try to come up with something whitty to say. Didn't work out so well

[BJWilliams]

I make jokes about my skin color all the time. I think I joked with somebody once after being in the sun for a while that I ended up Cajun style instead of sunburned

'Help me Obi Wan Kanobi, brown nosing is my only hope..."

[jmdickens]

Yes, BJ is a "yes man". It worked for the academic dean of the law school so why not BJ?

[jcmanson]

Beej, what does the phrase "brown-noser" mean?

[BJWilliams]

basically its someone who is a kissup for no other reason than to garner favor from a superior, particularly to improve chances of a promotion or other sort of advancement

[jcmanson]

K just checking

[Sly Fox]

Moving right along ...

[BJWilliams]

That said, unless Eagle (and the people he talked to) have some sort of axe to grind over it, I dont think there needs to be much worry about the so called "kiddie corps".

[rogers3]

Just noticed that the former Dean of Engineering is not listed as a current faculty member. It looks like he has been replaced by a guy without a Doctoral degree. Is he just another one of the new young "yes" men? Anybody knows what happened to Ron Sones?

[BJWilliams]

Interesting. nothing was mentioned about that to my office (and we have done quite a few stories out of the school of engineering and so my partner in the office here has some good contacts over there and could probably find something out)

[SuperJon]

Your parenthetical statement was three times longer than your actual statement.

[thepostman]

what else is new?

[jmdickens]

Geeze, tough crowd BJ.

Just look at the law school dean compared to some of the accomplished faculty members....So much for integrity

[BJWilliams]

We know dickens...you hate Staver...youve pretty much made that clear...

and yeah, just one of those millenia I guess

[thepostman]

He's a pretty easy person to dislike. Ron Godwin is the most unlikable of them all and he is pretty dang old...just sayin...

I do not hate anyone BJ. I do not like the fact he is a 7th Day Adventist in a position of authority at the school. I do not like the fact he has fired so many people who did not share his narrow view of religion and history. I do not like the fact that he is considered a possible suspect of aiding and abetting a criminal that was his client. I think he uses the law school to promote himself and not Christ. Yeah, nothing substantial.....

Is Staver really a 7th Day Adventist? I mean I read his bio and all... I'm not sure how he's lacking in any way compared to the rest of our faculty.

Yes. My experience with 7th day Adventists in South America really concerns me about what they claim to believe.
