but chastised Perry for his method of attacks against the University President.

Right. I remember that part of Dewhurst's comments where he chastised Perry for the quotes about Powers from Perry that we strangely haven't ever heard of. That was a good part.

If they wanna believe we control everything with intricate plans, why not let them?

VY can only remember 3 of those.

So Rick Perry is to UT Ath Dept. what Jeff Fisher was to vInts? I can live with that.

The attempt to characterize internecine horn-on-admin or horn-on-horn violence as somehow being a reflection of outside forces is a denial of the reality of how universities run, and how they get run into the ground.

I got a degree from Baylor, and I noticed that their BOR does the same kind of backstabbing bull**** to their admin all the time. Just ask Sloan and Lilley.

These ****ing horns are delusional. Nobody in the pink building is driving this little slap fight up the street at the tower.

i'm confused why he writes under the name jesus shuttlesworth?

File this under things that make you think, "Hhhmmmm."

The University of Texas has supplied more than 40 boxes of records to a member of its governing board who demanded to see all of the materials released in response to public information requests for a nearly two-year period, the American-Statesman has learned.

It’s unclear why Wallace Hall Jr., a member of the UT System Board of Regents, sought all open records correspondence and responses for a 23-month period beginning in January 2011 and running through November 2012. The university received about 2,500 open records requests during that period.

---

He's looking for something specific, but what?

quote:

---

The campus appears to have sent more than 100,000 pages of documents to the system’s offices in downtown Austin.

A log of those materials obtained by the Statesman from the Austin flagship under the Texas Public Information Act numbers nearly 500 pages. For most of the period in question, the campus supplied original records to the board office for Hall to review rather than copies, to speed up processing time.

Campus officials said they withheld records containing private student information. The requested materials ranged widely and included a list of technology licensing agreements, personnel records for a history professor and the university’s contract with ESPN for the Longhorn Network.

---

Is that just overlap? He was on the BOR when the LHN contract was under discussion. Is it possible the BOR didn't see the actual contract before it was approved?

quote:

---

Hall has also been examining the university’s fundraising operation closely. Last week, at a public regents’ meeting, he questioned the unit’s organizational structure and its lack of a vice president for development. Powers said one would be hired.

Separately, Hall has questioned the university’s reporting of software donations, even attending an out-of-town meeting to thrash out the issue with campus officials and leaders of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, a standards-setting group for such matters.

Hall’s view prevailed, and university officials no longer include the value of software donations in fundraising totals because the right to use such gifts expires after a certain period of time.

Supplying the records, as well as a general increase in open records requests lately, has necessitated reassigning some staff members to the open records unit, Hegarty said. Employees of that unit have been working extra hours but, as salaried employees, cannot receive overtime pay. They might be able to take compensatory time off later, he said.

Specialists in university governance say information requests by individual board members are a fairly common problem for universities.

---

Comp time for salaried employees, unless they are upper management level, is frowned upon. Making copies doesn't appear to me to be a "management" function.

And why is a BOR member, charged with overseeing an entire university system, requesting additional documentation "a common problem?" Problem?

And FTR, it isn't an Ag doing this.

Spoke too soon.

Gov. Rick Perry appointed two new members of the University of Texas System Board of Regents and reappointed a third on Thursday, an apparent response to state lawmakers investigating the board over allegations of mistreatment of embattled University of Texas President Bill Powers.

---

quote:

---

Perry appointed as new regents Houston oilman and major Perry campaign donor Jeff Hildebrand, and Ernest Aliseda, a McAllen attorney and former state district judge, to six year terms. Hildebrand is a University of Texas graduate. Aliseda is a graduate of Perry's alma mater, Texas A&M University.

Hildebrand donated $330,000 to Perry political campaigns in 2010 when Perry won his third full term as governor, according to state records.

Perry also reappointed regents Vice Chairman Paul Foster of El Paso to a new six-year term. All of the appointments are subject to Senate confirmation.

An Ag regent at tu. Time for the conspiracies to really approach tidal wave status.
