“It happened on Garrison’s watch”

Wow! What are the chances that Bresch’s degree would be awarded during the presidency of her old chum?

It’s like that coincidence from last century . .. Lou Gehrig contracting something called “Lou Gehrig’s disease.”

brni CEO probably had a falling out with brni scientific director - most people do. That man is a narcissist and control freak. Am guessing that this then gave Garrison et al a chance to put in a crony.

just like prescott looking forward to graduation, he also had to go immediately; interesting parallel isn’t it ?

Can someone come up with reason for his speedy departure from BRNI. He was looking forward to the opening this year, I heard, but he had to leave immediately.

I have not heard that the Rockefeller Center director was not reappointed because of his lack of support of garrison–yes, he was not reappointed but do you know that was the reason?

The dean of medicine has left since Garrison took over. The provost and the dean of business took a dive for Garrison. The Rockefeller Center director was not reappointed since he did not support Garrison. The football coach Rod found that Garrison told him a lie to get him to sign a contract and he left. Garrison is left standing with his Charleston political staff and one or more of them will have to take a fall for Garrison. He gave the BB coach named “DUI” for being fired in two other universities for drinking a ten year $20 million contract to try to get some positive press. What will Garrison do next throw his prom date from high school under the bus? That would be too much for Manchin I think. By the way Heather has been in several controversies for getting special contracts from WV state goverment through her daddie. Did anyone check that out?
Poor Mike he is so good but things turn out so bad. Just bad luck or….could it be incompetence?

Why is the only posting on the “GarrisonMustGo” website (www.garrisonmustgo.com) a sick-making statement from Garrison about how much he loves WVU yaddayadda loves his job yaddayadda…

Mylan Pushcar and Gov. Joe Manchin are friends; Steve Goodwin (never trust a man in a baby blue tie) is brother - in - law to the WV Sect. of Education; Heather Bresch (the gov’s daughter) and Mike Garrison are and have always been more than friends; and Mylan gives $$$ to WVU in exchange for favors.
There is no-one in the chain of command that is not involvrd. WVU can do one thing - they can petition for a general assembly meeting; thus giving all staff and faculty a chance to be heard. Steve Kite (stary eyed provost wannabe) was asked to call a general assembly (which he has the power to do) and he refused. The only other way to get a general assembly is through petitions where 5% of the WVU population would need to sign. Steve Kite as Faculty Senate Chair never should have publically stated his position to support Garrison - Chairs of committees are not allowed to do that (according to Robert’s Rules of Order). His position is too powerful and thus it is unprofessional and unethical that he would publically state his position. He should be reprimanded for that.
Since we cannot go up the chain of command in WV because everyone in the pipeline is corrupt, we need to contact Senator’s Byrd and Rockefeller. Please consider writing to them via their websites. Also, please continue to send letters to the editors of the Dominion Post, the Daily Anteneum; The Charleston Gazette, and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. We need to keep the pressure on. Garrison sent three of his most powerful men into that Monday Morrning meeting. The panel referenced real or perceived pressure to award the degree. Their presence in a meeting where they had no business attending is proof enough that Garrison is responsible for this whole situation from the minute he took the first call from poor little Heather. WVU is extraordinaliry vulerable right now and we need to stay committed to demanding his resignation.

To the lawyers out there, if the Governor actually put pressure on WVU to award the degree, is that a violation of any West Virginia ethics laws?

anybody wondering what the graduation ceremonies that President Garrison presides over will be like? could be some awkward moments, maybe a protest or 2?
