That’s a loss for LU and a huge win for SEBTS.

Congrats to Dr. Prior. This is a major loss for LU. SEBTS will treat her well, as they should. More departures, unfortunately, are on the horizon. Many fine, long-term, well-respected faculty are looking to take their excellence elsewhere; it’s only prudent that they do so. Tough times.

What a strange thing to say. I just do not get it.

[thepostman]

Oh my. Good job Jerry...

[Jonathan Carone]

It’s either an inside joke comment between two people who like each other or it’s an out of touch joke from a guy who doesn’t get it.

I hope - and think - it’s the first.

[JK37]

Are inside jokes meant for Twitter?

It’s obviously an inside joke between the two. I have no problem with the comment
To become the Academic institution that I think we all want LU to be it needs to hang on to these types of Professors. It needs to ask why they leave and why they can’t attract top talent. The answer is evident but is contrary to the Leaders Philosophy so nothing will change

What is it you have against people exercising their right to choose where they live and work (including student athletes)? She's obviously a VERY smart lady, and she decided this is what is best for her. I wish her well.

And sometimes it is. Like in this case.

I certainly have disagreed with some of the things JLFJR has said and done recently, but that doesn't mean we need to read evil intent into EVERYTHING. On reading his tweet, it never occurred to me for one second that it was anything but friendly banter between friends, which included a high compliment about her passion for her work.

It's just that I am a firm believer in loyalty to a school, team, business, etc

[thepostman]

Sometimes God calls people to move on ballcoach. It isn't your job to judge every decision people make. It'll be ok.

[Jonathan Carone]

I prefer loyalty to Jesus over loyalty to a school, team, business, etc.

Loyalty to an employer is giving them your best while you are in their employ.

Legit question here. Did you stay in the Army til the mandatory retirement age?

[ALUmnus]

This is a big loss for LU. A published author, respected academic, generally positive notoriety, and from what I hear a very good teacher. LU needs more of this and right now is in short supply.

However, it doesn't surprise me. With the witch hunt that is underway, though I'm not accusing her of this, if it was found out she was one of Ambrosino's sources, it wouldn't shock me. And the school's reputation has to be embarrassing for her in the circles she runs in. LU isn't her only employer, and Jr. has attacked some of her other colleagues. SEBTS is a good school, and it's moving more in her direction in their sociopolitical philosophy. It makes sense, and I was expecting her to jolt much sooner.

When I decided to make Army a career, I said I would do 20 years and retire, regardless of rank or assignment when time comes. The day I was eligible to put in paperwork for retirement, I did.

And was the army your first job? Did you stick around with your employer after the army until retirement?

Loyalty is a two way street

But you could have served longer than 20 years. Why didn’t you? Why were you disloyal to Big Green?

[ballcoach15]

I retired. I didn't leave the Army and go join the Air Force.

[olldflame]

I retired. I didn't leave the Army and go join the Air Force.

No, you joined the civilian force. The grass apparently looked greener. I want to be clear there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. It's just a bit disingenuous to insinuate others are somehow disloyal if they decide to change jobs.

It’s why he’s been called #fraudcoach from time to time. He only places expectations on others not himself. It’s what makes him so endearing. “Transfers are ruining college athletics”. Yet stays silent on transfers who come to LU. People shouldn’t leave their jobs. Yet he has left his and is perfectly fine when others leave jobs to come to LU or any place he deems worthy.
