Maybe the students should go picket Carl's house.

No one who is happy with Kleinman and Tang wants  Gene gone, UNLESS Kleinman and Tang somehow have a secret grudge against Gene (unlikely).

Ya. This what I'm being told as well. Carl out there pushing a personal vendetta against Gene for firing his friends.

[catastrophe]

No way he has that kind of power. People like Carl aren't going to stop donating because they don't personally like a guy who by any objective measure is doing a good job. They're too addicted to being able to control other stupid stuff.

lmao I had no idea Carl Ice was tight with oscar Weber but surely Carl Ice isn't stupid enough to think Gene was wrong in letting oscar go. Although based on the half-baked info that's been flowing out this week, there seems to be a high number of dudes who are huge dumbasses relative to their position

Linton and Gene are at eachother's throats, and Linton threatened to fire Gene yesterday or today based on the rumors.  Ice is backing Linton; Ice was on the BoR when they hired Linton.

omg this is so stupid

This doesn't make sense either. Why would Gene take the fall for dismissing Tomlin if he was upset with Linton over it?

Although I'm starting to think there might not be any explanation that makes sense.

And there you have it. The BOR, or at least some on the BOR, have a different perspective of what is “good for K-State than 99.9% of K-Staters.

Linton has lost his mind. I expect a resignation on his part in the next few days.

[Winters]

This is all just so gross

[Brock Landers]

WTF.  Burn it all down.

fear of one's death will bring out some interesting primal emotions.  not everybody handles it with grace.

Guys I have been busy all day, what is going on?

[Kat Kid]

Remember when he organized a pep rally for himself after announcing he had cancer? Did it ever occur to him that other faculty and staff have life threatening diseases and are in a slightly more precarious situation? That they too could use some support? No.

The guy is an egomaniac.

I mean you would have to be competent at making money, which is a pretty good thing to be competent at

No offense, but I think that’s exactly what happens all the time. Kinda the point of holding money over their heads via scheduled ongoing donations.

Carl made his money.  But, plenty out there just got normal returns on their vast inheritance

[Pete]

Now that it’s known that Carl is anti-Gene, it’s clear why Linton would do what he did.  My guess is that Linton would willingly crawl through a mile of crap to eat Carl’s entire ass and balls and drink his ejaculate, so to speak.

[Pete]

No offense to Tang, but the protest is just getting warmed up.

I imagine in your line of work you come across many well compensated people who are not good at their jobs. But I guess Kim's argument would be that they are competent at landing and keeping their jobs regardless of how second or competent they are at actually doing the job, which I suppose is fair.
