Instead of taking the time to recognize them each individually, I'd simply like to offer up one big collective, **** you.

too many members. which ones actually meet to make decisions and which ones are there to look important? i am sure they are important in their own vocations, but which ones actually have an interest in the day to day operations of the school?

Fain, Miller, Bass these are the top dogs. The senior members I would think also have a lot of say.
 
Hold up. A Rod on the BOT?

LOL Miami will do anything if you give them enough money. We've seen plenty evidence of that.

LEARNING FROM HIS FATHER'S EXAMPLE (Just another dude)

Lennar Corporation had always been part of Stuart Miller's life. As the son of Lennar's cofounder, Leonard Miller, the younger Miller grew up in 1960s Miami watching his father's business grow. Miller did not take his position as the boss's son lightly. He had inherited his father's hard-working and entrepreneurial nature and desired to make his own way and earn his own money as soon as he was able. At the age of 11 Miller began mowing the lawns of Lennar's model houses. By his teens Miller was working odd jobs around Lennar's construction sites to save money for a car.


Miller left Florida for Harvard University. After receiving his undergraduate degree, Miller attended the University of Miami Law School, being graduated in 1982. Having achieved his educational goals, Miller returned to the company he had grown up with. He was intent on demonstrating his leadership skills, helping grow the family business, and continuing his educational development in the realm of business.



MANAGEMENT STYLE (Get your BS hip-waders on)

Throughout his tenure managing Lennar Corporation, Miller focused on making every employee feel accountable and responsible for the growth and success of the corporation. At the same time he made extensive efforts to foster an atmosphere of creativity and fun in and around the office. Miller believed that empowered and happy employees were vital to the success of the company.


Early in his career with Lennar, Miller attended a seminar at the Disney Institute, a management training program run by Walt Disney Company. He returned to Lennar impressed by Disney's philosophy that motivated employees to be friendly regardless of their positions within the company. As a reflection of this philosophy Lennar began a tradition of wearing name tags that bore only first names and no job titles. In a company that was growing so rapidly that many employees did not know all of their coworkers by name, these name tags fostered an intimate and relaxed environment.


For many employees Miller's management style gave everyday business an unexpected twist at Lennar's Miami headquarters. On Fridays, before regularly scheduled meetings, Miller played music and danced with employees. He did not assign parking for executives and had no reserved space himself. Miller also instituted the production of lighthearted holiday videos that were distributed and shown to all Lennar employees to laud their accomplishments and encourage further success in the upcoming year. Miller mixed this creativity with a disciplined approach to management. All employees played a part in Lennar's commitment to maximizing return on net assets. Each of Lennar's 50 divisions sent Miller a monthly, one-page report showing whether it was meeting its financial goals.


Of the many influences in his life, Miller found the writings of children's author Dr. Seuss especially relevant and applicable to his business philosophy. Miller was known to use Seuss's writings during business meetings and training sessions to boost the confidence of employees or illustrate an important lesson. For example, to break tension in a meeting with U.S. Home Corporation managers during the 2000 acquisition, Miller sat on the conference room floor and gave a reading from Dr. Seuss's classic book, Oh, the Places You'll Go! . According to an article by Evan Perez in the Wall Street Journal , Miller and other executives wrote their own nursery rhymes in the style of Dr. Seuss. "Where's the Wow?" taught that to stand out from a crowd requires ambition that comes only from within. "Where's the How?" told of using research, practice, and simplicity to succeed. The books were illustrated by the company's advertising firm and published in hardcover for internal use.


Miller was responsible for starting the Lennar tradition of using a children's fable to demonstrate the company's values. Each new employee received a card imprinted with "Scratchings from the Little Red Hen," a story adapted from a popular children's tale. Lennar's version told of a little red hen digging for worms during a drought while an arrogant rooster waited in vain for worms to come to him. The hen was able to eat and prosper because of her work ethic, whereas the rooster's lack of initiative left him weak and hungry. "It's a very simple story," Miller told Perez. "It speaks about challenges and how you deal with them" (July 27, 2001). The little red hen story became a rite of passage of sorts for Lennar employees. New employees were encouraged to recite and memorize this tale of an underdog. The fable also illustrated the creativity and drive Miller brought to Lennar in his own tale of challenges and success at the helm of one of the largest house building corporations in the United States.

(The above, if true, shows why he may have bought Goldie's line totally.)

All you need to know about Stuart Miller is that Nancy Pelosi, a very good friend of Shalala; has enabled Lennar to be a big developer of the former naval base in San Francisco bay, Treasure Island (Yerba Buena Island). Friends in politics get paid off really well by contractors, so Pelosi and Shalala are in for big paydays for their government influence on the government property turned private development. Benefits to Shalala include the UM purchase of Jackson and the naming rights and donations from the Miller's for the medical school.
 
Nothing helps because simply the BOT do not care probably sitting around a table drinking Arnold Palmer's and watching a Polo match like a bunch of idiots
