BOT public meetingPossibly important to BSU sports, but I doubt any President is going to be going against the grain of budget restraint and carrying out the University mission, where sports is on decline as an important priority.

To a private meeting? with another member of the BOT, not "BSU." You have issues you want to discuss with someone privately, and you set up a meeting, but then a 3rd party shows up to kill whatever dialogue you may have had and you're ok with that? Again, Frank Hancock was ON THE BOT, not a member of the BSU administration on campus. And if Hancock ostensibly wanted to discuss with Pence Hall overstepping his role then have you just violated whistleblower laws? Have you shut down dissent? Just curious. OR maybe Hancock had other, personal issues he wanted to talk about. Hall should NOT have been there. It was a surprise to Hancock and that is wrong. Assume for the sake of argument, the Governor either sees the meeting scheduled on his calendar and asks Hall what he knows about it, or had previously had discussions with his confidant about BOT issues and Hall had mentioned Hancock and then the Gov sees the calendar and calls Hall for an update in order to be prepared. Neither is terrible, neither probably a violation of any law. Of course if Hall takes it on himself in either case to show up, he is out of line. If he did and the Governor mishandled that awkward event, at least didn't plan it. I agree the Governor would just be wrong inviting Hall and surprising Hancock, who after all is also an appointee, and who might expect a private meeting for a serious issue. Can only go off what Hancock indicated, which is that he was quite surprised that Hall showed up. But, at any rate, its done. So ulimately it doesn't matter. Just feel it's bad form. |

Of course as chairman Rick should introduce the new prez. My point abut Hall being front and center is he doesn't introduce and then get out of the way..... Lurkin, if you can come up with a solid reason as to why Frank Hancock, who was on the BOT, would like about the BOT/hall overstepping, please share it. Perhaps you can provide a rational explanation as to why Hall would show up uninvited to a PRIVATE meeting between Hancock and the Govenor. Yeah, maybe the Govenor invited Hall, but he didn't include Hancock on that invitation. It was a personal meeting Hancock had requested. How and why did Hall mysterously show up there unexpectedly? Perhaps you would like that to happen to you and would be fine with it, but most people wouldn't. Try to keep your politics out of personal in this case. And finally, and I'm done with this, I know enough well connected people on campus who were privy to things that went on with Hall (and continue to go on) I wasn't there, and I wasn't privy to the dispute between Hancock and Hall. And, just a guess, but neither were you. I would gladly leave my politics out of this, but there are a lot of people at BSU who don't like Hall just because he's a Republican, and they want him off the board. The academics on campus were throwing a fit about the possibility that a non-academic might get hired as the new president. They were scared to death that we might get another Mitch Daniels, or another business-oriented type. THAT'S why there's this hatred for Hall the last couple of years. I'm neither for or against Hall, personally... but it seems that he has BSU's best interest at heart, even if he steps on some toes. |

Current NKU President Jeffery Mearns...........Degree from Yale and a Law Degree from University of Virginia...............Had some issues at NKY regarding his handling of sexual assault claims, although to be fair no matter how a University President responds some campus morons will complain.

It's kind of strange, but I think this guy lives down the street from me.

New Bsu president will be introduced to us tomorrow. By Rick hall of course, who will I'm sure keep himself front and center. Yeah, he had the gall to thank the people who selected the new prez, Terry King, and the cabinet! That bastard even went out of his way to introduce the new VP Kathy Wolfe before everyone left! What a schemer! |

Will he prioritize Men's basketball? He did seem to be quite involved with the program at NKU and oversaw their transition from D2 to the Atlantic Sun, then finally to the Horizon league. His Twitter page has a lot of basketball related stuff on it. twitter.com/presidentmearns?lang=en |

Well, JoAnn Gora was involved in men's basketball at Ball State and that worked out so well. Went from bad to worse.
