Finally, tons of money will be siphoned off and funnelled to the athletic programs, but I gues that doesn't bother anyone in particular. We had coaches who were paid out of academic accounts and called "lecturers." This too is under invetigation. New weight and gym equipment would appear each year with the old mysteriously disappearing. One set when to the high school where his son attended.
So, in parting, I'll say that I'm sure Ive made a lot of people mad, but what you have for a new president is a very shallow, self centered person who thinks you are all idiots ready to be duped, and who is actually operated/run by his wife in most of his decisions. He will embarrass your school, run you so far into debt with his spending that you will be priced out of the market, and will end up laughing at you all for how easy it was to pull you all in and con you. Thank God he is gone from NC, hopefully to never return.
Good Luck = Wahoo Wahoo

What part of this from his Bio on the UCA website is not true?

Previously, the university’s debt-rating was negative following the downgrading of its score twice in late 2008. Moody's upgraded UCA’s rating in February to stable. A statement from the company in February said the stable outlook reflected "expectations of a gradual improvement in cash and financial resource levels, management’s ongoing successful implantation of cash flow enhancement efforts and continued support from the state."
UCA ended the 2008 fiscal year with a negative $4.3 million. It ended the fiscal year in 2009 with a cash balance of $3.2 million. Officials expect a nearly $10 million balance the end of the fiscal year 2010.
I am not embarrassed yet.
