Legislation is pending to limit the BoT to 21 members. Positions to be eliminated are the appointed sheeple of L&I and the Farm Fudds. Best thing that could happen to the BoT and get rid of the royalty that currently ruins our University.
SIAP: BoT Reform.
- Thread starter denniskembala
- Start date
So the proposal still allows a handful of self-selected BoT members to control the agenda??
Someone has to say it........
"We landed on the Moon!!!!"
BTW - The "Bernstine Proposal" does (next to) nothing to address the fundamental governance dysfunctions of the PSU Board. Not that anyone cares.
do the math, BarryHow many times does one go down the same road - and fail for the same reasons (failing to address the fundamental issues of governance dysfunction - and therefore failing to garner the requisite support)..... "Wagner", "Yudichak 1.0", "Yudichak 2.0", etc etc.....
Before one MIGHT consider that "governance reform" should actually address the fundamental issues of governance dysfunction, in order to give anyone a reason to support it?
I can say with 100% complete confidence that there is not a living, breathing soul on this planet who is a stronger advocate for governance reform of the PSU Board than I am.
REAL governance reform - that addresses and eliminates the FUBAR that infests Penn State.
(And I'd even go one step further and say that NO ONE who knows me would argue that contention).
But this ain't it.
Throwing a different f$cked up proposal out there - at the behest of folks who wouldn't know "Responsible Governance" if it bit them in the a$$ - is a futile and "doomed-for-failure" exercise.
Alas
11 is a majority out of 21 if the alumni are capable of electing a competent nine and that nine can sway two more, that's 11
people are policy- not regulations
Bunny's fundamental (emphasis on MENTAL) argument is that no trustee is "trustworthy" if his/her last name isn't spelled "FUNCHUCKLES"
I don't think you canUh..... I think I can do the "math"
Which ..........two do you think will ever be swayed among the Old Guard? Perhaps if we risk anarchy and no hold overs are permitted to.........govern, there might be a chance. see
Dumb and Dumber.
No one- but why can't PA's voters choose a Governor who will appoint a few trustees who aren't part of the problem? Granted, that's putting a lot of faith in the electorate, but with all the passion and noise over the BOT election it seems to me that the real opportunity has always been in Harrisburg.
The Board is controlled by a collection of special interest groups.
It does not represent any constituency of the University.
The nine that we elect are in the minority and can’t do or control squat.
