I can only think of 3 discrimination suits; Jane Meyer, Tracey Griesbahm, and this one. What's the 4th?

As much as we all want to blame Barta, this lawsuit is not because of his incompetence
it doesn’t matter at this point. I doubt he gives a fuck at this point.

I feel like Gary led a lot of positive change during his time, consequences be damned. But the narrative as been written. People have no desire to understand details, they are just SURE there’s a better choice out there. Maybe there is.

Sand is a grandstanding douche, but he’s not wrong on this one. The state shouldn’t be paying this. If they’d voted against this, it doesn’t send it to trial. They’d renegotiate, and the department would probably end up paying the whole amount themselves.

but the fact remains that the state is named as party to the lawsuit.

This is a settlement, not a judgment. The AGs office could negotiate this so only the AD pays, if that’s what they chose to do. I doubt the plaintiffs care where the money is coming from.

KF's statement was basically, “I wasn't caving to those fucking piece of shit liars and the university is a bunch of pussies for doing so” and I appreciate that.

Should still fire his fat son though

right- but if they don’t settle, the BOR could be on the hook for all of it, no?

Given the "skill" the University's lawyers have exhibited up until now...4.1 million is probably a bargain.

I hope they do. I would like to see someone in that position, or really any position, foster a culture of inclusion and acceptance.

I care only insofar as it makes the acceleration of Gary or Brian’s departure more likely, even if remotely.

Specifically, Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz
