He really should've asked every new employee their thoughts on lesbians.

Augusta, a center of openness

Harris was wrong, he should've tried to pray away the gay.

 

[hyaluronic]

Based on the article, which is my sole knowledge of the situation, how do you place any of the blame on anyone other than Harris?

Maturi was his boss and knew what Harris was doing. They are both pathetic.

Here's a good synopsis of the rundown of events. Pretty awful.
Maybe I should have put OT on the topic, but I think it's a relevant news item for U athletics.

The boss of the U professor just busted for messing with a 15 year old from Louisiana knew what he was doing?

 

[Sparlimb]

Ahhh, we pay twice as much just to not play teams in football. Clearly the athletic department can eat this no problem...

Tell that to Tiger "Back Spasm" Woods and his millions of fawning sycophants.

I am utterly convinced Joel Maturi was sent here by the Wisconsin Badgers to mess up our Athletic Department as bad as he could.

He tenure was pretty bad. Similar to the tenure of every A.D. since 1967.

 

[Some Day...Is Coming!]

What a disgusting situation. Glad we have new leadership at the U. Seems that Maturi had no guts whatsoever.

Good point Iceland!
