It was courageous of Dr. Govaerts to say publicly what many of us thought: it was an error in judgement for Old Main to be complicit in pressuring two long-time and competent UW directors to resign their posts. This was their punishment for trying to alert upper administration to a problematic new dean. It will be interesting to see whether Old Main now decides to visit the same fate on Dr. Govaerts. Our university needs more, not fewer, people like Sandy, Brant and Dana.

Why, time after time... over the years... the administration fails on its duty of due diligence in rooting out bad seeds, but supports them like they were family or something!?!

Followed this story from begining, and not once did the leaders of UW figure out where and who the bad players were!

So sad, once again , for UW to lose face and prestige because of failures on the part of search committes, administration, and finally the president at the crucial time to do their most important job, not paper pushing, but guidance of school and policies to a better place!!!!!!!

Idiots that don't deserve THIER JOBS!
