The first pres. got his name in the paper for being caught driving drunk. The then board knew that he did not get along with faculty, but did nothing. After the meeting, I remember screaming at a woman Board member (whose name I don't remember) "How the hell bad does he have to screw up until you notice it?" And screaming is no exaggeration. But this board screw-up seems worse to me. How hard is it to say no? It is as if Yowell has something on them. Would he have resigned?
