Sally Mason retiring!!!
- Thread starter Pitcher24
- Start date
Sorry JR but you are way off - I got a look at the secret New President's checklist:
1. Redecorate the mansion
2. Fire Gary Barta
3. Make sure Iowa is still holding classes and doin' academic stuff
4. More night games at Kinnick
5. Remove ban on tailgaters puking and peeing wherever they want.
6. Visit the Hospital. Find out why it keeps infringing on football parking
7. Expand President's box at Kinnick
8. Law School's are cool. See if we have one.
9. Lower academic standards for 4 & 5* athletes.
10. Check approval rating at HR
Oh, and BTW, the football team at Chicago U sucks. Duh.
Just heard on the radio today that the U of I will be paying Mason $350,000 per year in retirement or 60% of her former highest years salary. If true that is one hell of a retirement for seven years employment. Any one know if there is any truth to this or is it BS....
True, president emeritus will be her title. She is not required to do anything during the first year of this new title. When they hired her in 2007, they gave her tenure. But the BOR has been trying to oust her for a while so they probably feel it is worth it to get rid of her as president.
Oh, Pretender.... wanting someone naive enough to believe that you have any unique insight whatsoever. What a hoot!
Tell us more about how "they" did this and "they" said that. Show us how the BOR has been 'trying to oust her...' Perhaps with your special knowledge of the matter, Sally Mason will have cause for action against the board!
(After all, that was the basis of your little rant on here recently when a certain coach was relieved of her duties. What is the difference now... other than the obvious, of course? )
Once a Pretender, always the Pretender!
You are denying that THEY gave her tenure?Originally posted by 5Fan5:

You know, 5, you should really pay more attention. Her five-year contract was not renewed in 2012, she received a vote of no confidence from the dean of the College of Education and she has been thoroughly criticized for her performance by both the Governor and BOR.
You should really try to get out of your dark hole more often so you are somewhat aware of what is happening in the world.

Would that be the same "they" that you now want others to believe are trying to oust her? Seems about as inconsistent as you most of the time.
Speaking of getting out... why don't you back away from the keyboard for awhile? Wiki really is not doing you any favors lately. Speculating and pretending to know things that you have absolutely zero first hand knowledge about. Really makes you seem more foolish than ever.
Sorry, it was a poorly worded sentence. The Dean of the College of Education received a vote of no confidence under Sally's tenure. There were issues with emails being ordered deleted by the provost and Sally praised him for this.
Whether the BOR is an embarrassment or not, they have been vocal about how Sally has or has not handled issues.

"They" is the BOR. I don't need Wiki, 5. I just pay attention to what is going on in Iowa. I don't need to speculate or pretend.
FG is just another in a long line of clown fans that will take shots at Iowa and at the same time refuse to acknowlege or call out what goes on in Lames.
So now that Iowa has a campus in Des Moines what next for ISU? ISU and the bor played a game and woke the giant. Think we will see the bor step back from the cliff they created?
I hope Sally comes out publicly after she is no longer is working for the university to explain things from her end. I doubt she does but in the long run it would be very good for the state for her to pull back the bandage on the bor
