Because Elmer is a man of the people. I love that guy so much. He just seems to get it.
I think it is well within the realm of possibility that Elmer may end up playing some sort of role in the rebuilding process, which would be an incredible story.
I have always liked Elmer but he is up in years and respectfully, he no longer has all of the resources with which to have a major role.

I said it was paraphrase Mr Nitpicker :D

Just being on the Board or around even as a Figure Head would soothe a lot of angst

Since he is now President of the BOT's he is the one who should be more vocal than the rest. He is the spokesman for the Board.
There are some good men on the Board who need to be retained. I believe a complete overhaul would be short-sighted, at least short term.
I see much more of a reason to send Nasser packing today or tomorrow, than any board members. IMHO

Was N71LU the plane Jerry was using? I noticed that C&c Aviation Llc is the owner with an LU address and its flight history is blocked on fightaware (although there are still ways to get this info).

Due to the circumstances, the flight history of the jet Jerry was using should be made public. There are reports out there that there were flights to Tijuana last summer (not sure if its with this LU plane). I'd like to know what official LU business we have there.

Doesn't need to be a major role. Just a voice. Or a resource. The man has been around since the start of the school. He consistently taught us "Methods are many. Principles are few. Methods may change. Principles never do." It's one of the best things about him. He has strong principles but knows his preferences and methods might not always be the best thing to do. Let him speak into the principles and allow the leadership to figure out the best methods to implement them.

Jr is allowed a certain amount of private use of the jet. Beyond that, he has to reimburse costs to the university.

Yes, N71LU is the university jet. It's kept in a closed hanger at Freedom Avoation next to where the school of aviation planes are kept. Interestingly enough, Jerry used N71LU as the license plate number on his personal vehicle. So it's easy to see how he might think it's his jet to use at will.

Since Jr likes his sexual escapades, he probably flew there since prostitution is legal in Tijuana. The women get a permit from the local department of public health to work as a sex worker. The permits are contingent on them getting examined by a physician, and getting clean bill of health, and free of any STDs. There is a red light district there that many American like to frequent. I used to know a guy I worked with who worked for an NGO to provide these women assistance to get out of that lifestyle.

Unless you have family member living in TJ or manufacturing business interests in TJ, most American's would go down there for the beaches, but those are usually that live on the west coast. I wouldn't believe that JR would go down there for beaches and sun bathing, especially since there are closer and more beautiful beaches nearby in Florida or the Mexican Gulf.

Tijuana?
TIJUANA?
:vomit
Wow. Setting all the moral implications aside, with the resources to go anywhere he wants, whether it was for beaches or hookers, if he flew that far to go to a cesspool like that he should be cancelled just for poor taste.

I posted something about the younger generations awhile back, someplace.

And it's going to get worst, in all facets of life. Especially in the Christian world.

You also posted that Jerry would be back running LU in a short period of time. That among your countless other nutty proclamations gives you 0 credibility
