He's squirming, also claims Alumni in minority, even though 80% want Statue back, Joe recognized. Is hedging on Freeh report, in no hurry to do it. Babbling about research & economics.

Bowing down to the Dandrea/Dunham line...."There are no issues before the University related to the Freeh Report".......oh, really.....squandering hundreds of millions of our $$$$$ is not relevant?

"Freeh Report has nothing to do with the University's mission".....but it was used as a tool to extort $60 million to fund Social Service agencies. Is THAT the new University mission?

Stands with Senator Corman....nothing is left of the CD (oops, except for - among other things - that pesky little $60 million extorted from PSU)

The guy is such a tool. He hears at meetings and luncheons we're "in the minority" Guy is a real palm job.

"SAT scores up".....of course, he compares to a baseline of 2013, without mentioning that 2013 was a HUGE drop off from pre-scandal numbers

Discusses "background checks".....but no mention of why BOT members - with criminal records - are not subject to background checks

Barron says their two priorities are "Affordability and Access, and Economic Development"......and that is what they will be spending their money on...........if so, then why have they spent HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars by accepting the "not super relevant" Freeh Report?

He's hedging. Claims they don't have money to do them. Of course not, after squandering money on "victims" and hiding TSM culpability along with cross-over BoT members, their families, and friends.

 

[mbahses]

He's really full of crap with his "untrained police force".

 

[bjf1984]

Barron on conflict on BOT...."Trustees of a non-profit (LOL) have a fiduciary responsibility to the institution, AND ONLY (his emphasis) the institution". So is the "institution" the BOT.....or does it include all of us? Does it include the safeguarding of University resources? LMAO. What a douchebag

 

[mbahses]

My advice to the next kid that gets in trouble is to tell LE "Barron said you are untrained police, so go away".

 

[mbahses]

The feed had cut out on me...what did he say about Court cases?

He said.... he couldn't say anything

I can buy that. I think he's knows the BoT has problems, he isn't willing to admit it.

Public Relations meeting over. Aside from all of the BS (which I am sure will be discussed as we move forward) I can't imagine a guy coming off as more pompous and disingenuous as Barron.

Stumbles and bumbles through questions much like Erickson did.....but with a little more "slipperiness" (probably to be expected, he had several years of practice at FSU, whereas Erickson had NEVER been in such a public position before. Barron is definitely more experienced with the "shuck and jive")

 

[mbahses]

If people are telling Barron at dinners, meetings and luncheons they approve of his "leadership" and that of the BoT, then he is seeking out and attending functions where there are a minority of idiots telling him what he wants to hear. The guy is full of shard. He looked like a nursing home patient with a 3 pound loaf satcheled in his pantaloons. He looked like hell.
