****ie is just a petty li'l ***** who chases me around from thread to thread, tossing out random insults because I have humiliated him too many times on other threads.

Highly likely, his wife. Not a joke. Ask around.

Yeah, that tracks with EVERYTHING I've heard about him. He just doesn't give a **** about Athletics. But some of our denser porsters want to crown him because the IPF was completed during his tenure. He loves the attention, he enjoys it when people praise him, but he seriously does not care...

Which is exactly why 3 years of Stetson pumping "Florida law" courses into students' heads can lead to a higher bar passage rate than 3 years of Miami teaching "national" and "black letter law" concepts. In my third year, I was on one of UM's two "national mock trial" teams (the ABA...

Completely correct. I would also point out, Stavridis has a PhD (not a JD), so he IS considered an "academic". I was certainly not trying to buff his resume by making the reference to Law School. I was simply pointing out that a Law School Dean (and, indeed, also a School of Law & Diplomacy...

Yeah, the graduation throne is a big joke around UM, but Tad didn't need one and Donna didn't need one. Julio had one built and dragged around to all of the different graduations, he can't be bothered to use the regular chairs that everyone else uses. Personally, I don't care all that much...

Correct. For years, Stetson had a near-perfect FL bar passage rate. It was because the curriculum was geared so heavily to Florida laws. Nobody gives a ****e, nor do they even really track, the Stetson bar passage rates for the other 49 states. There has long been terminology that describes...

Yes. And he had a graduation throne built for him, as he presides over graduation ceremonies. But you get the big picture. Whatever he was supposed to do for the Med School over the past 6 years has not happened. And now he is slapping down the Law School dean for his 2-year tenure, 75...

Wrong. "Bar passage rate" as a determination of "good law schools" is a joke. I could get into the numerous reasons, both generally and specific to UM, but I don't want to bore anyone. UM's bar passage rate has been lower than other Florida-based schools for a while, and there are some valid...

Yeah, I am conflicted on Shalala. I can certainly acknowledge the multiple mistakes that were made on the Med School side. At the same time, she devoted a lot of effort to improving the undergrad side of UM. As a person who has earned nearly every degree at Miami EXCEPT FOR an MD, I am not...

Yes. I had multiple people working at UM tell me that many people realized the mistake that had been made while it was still Frenk's first year in office. Stavridis would have been much more of a LEADER for UM. Funny, but UM's Med School did pretty well under 20 years of Tad Foote, with his...

And let's not forget that Tad Foote was the dean of the law school at Washington University in St. Louis.

Shut the fvck up, you rusty cvntbucket. I am a three-time alum of the University of Miami. Don't you dare condescend to me about Miami academics. If Admiral Stavridis can be considered for the job by the entire BOT, and come in second, then he is BY NO MEANS unqualified for the job or...

:100:

That too...

That's a bold strategy...

All of the reaction from Varona and the rest of the law school community gives every indication that it was not mutual.

Yes. I said it six years ago. I'm still saying it.

It's hard to summarize, because so little ACTUAL TRUTH has been given. It happened quickly, with no advance warning, and many have complained about the lack of transparency. I would also add that UM Law has struggled with fund-raising in prior years, and we survived. It took longer than it...

Yes. It is partially quoted in the Miami Hurricane article. But here is the full letter from the e-mail that I received from President Frenk in May:
