I really don't see how his administrative or managerial performance, at another University of all places, is relevant to this thread.
He's originally from North Texas so I'm sure that played a minor role in the decision. I would imagine that it really wasn't a difficult decision for him. He just went from being a dean to a school president.
Well, Starr just got a promotion. Chen Shui-bian's in prison, Marcos was removed from power and kicked out of his country, Mobutu was overthrown, Baby Doc was exiled, and Papa Doc was more of a nut than a hypocrite.
Which only proves my theory that dog owners, especially ones who live in apartment complexes, or leave their turds in the ashtray next to the elevator, or live in dorm suites and have them pee in the toilet seat in the shared bathroom, or take their dogs in their car anytime after ten at night, are genocidial psychopaths bent on world domination.
Good grief. What an embarrassment for Baylor alumni. November 21, 1998 Samuel Dash, a native of Camden, New Jersey, a co-chief counsel along with Fred Thompson for the Senate Watergate Committee during the Watergate scandal, abruptly resigned Friday as Kenneth Starr's ethics adviser to protest the independent counsel's decision to testify before the House Judiciary. In a bluntly worded, two-page letter, Dash, the 73-year-old former chief counsel of the Senate Watergate Committee, said he felt compelled to end his four-year affiliation with Starr because the prosecutor had rejected his strong advice to decline to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday. "I resign for a fundamental reason,'' wrote Dash, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center. "You have violated your obligations under the independent counsel statute and have unlawfully intruded on the power of impeachment, which the Constitution gives solely to the House.'' <a href="http://www.thefreelibrary.com/STARR'S+ADVISER+RESIGNS%3B+ETHICS+MONITOR+CALLS+TESTIMONY+UNLAWFUL-a083846060">STARR'S ADVISER RESIGNS; ETHICS MONITOR CALLS TESTIMONY UNLAWFUL.</a> Dash was considered a hero to many during the Watergate Scandal. That Starr caused him to resign was nothing less than a condemnation of Kenneth Starr and his witch hunt. This is worth repeating: "I resign for a fundamental reason,'' wrote Dash, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center. "You have violated your obligations under the independent counsel statute and have unlawfully intruded on the power of impeachment, which the Constitution gives solely to the House.'' Baylor, this is the man you just made your president. You should be ashamed. I'll add that Starr had an enormous role in polarizing America. It didn't have to play out that way.
