PAYOFF

"In his e-mail, Nichol said that the Board of Visitors offered him and his wife "substantial economic incentives" to refrain from characterizing the decision not to renew his contract on ideological grounds or make any other statement about his departure without board approval."

[Fumblerooskies]

Nichol said he plans to return to the faculty at the school of law and resume teaching and writing.

Yeah...wonder how that is going to work out.

"Mine, to be sure, has not been a perfect presidency," Nichol wrote in the e-mail. "I have sometimes moved too swiftly, and perhaps paid insufficient attention to the processes and practices of a strong and complex university. A wiser leader would likely have done otherwise."

Academ-ese for "My bad. I suck at this."

I love how long AFTER the cross incident this took place...I mean let's be honest, that's why this happened




Correction: the millions of dollars lost which were because of the cross

[jcmanson]

The cross was the main reason, but this sex show was the pin that broke the camel's back.

wrong.....this was the second year in a row they allowed it. If that was so bad they could have fired his tail last year.

and, according to that article- the Adult Expo thing sold out. Seems like it was pretty well recieved.

My guess is was the whole disappearing 12 mil pledge issue

I forgot all about the sex show...LOL...where does this guy think this school is located? Europe? What an idiot

Bingo! The guy way overreached in his assessment of how "liberal", the school's alumni doner base is. All of this crap may have been fine with the student body and faculty/staff, but there are obviously some wealthy alums with a little better moral compass who have decided enough is enough.

And based on their attendance at last year's football game, most of their alumni are old as dirt (actually, as old as the school is, most of their alumni are DEAD).
