SCSU administrator retires


If I Were Him, I'd Leave Too!

by Silence Dogood


Dr. Bruce Busby arrived on campus last July to assume the position of Dean, University College & Associate Provost for Student Success. Looking at his job responsibilities listed on the University College's webpage, it appears that he has a lot on his plate.



With a 21.8% decline in FYE enrollment over the past five years, simply overseeing undergraduate admissions and recruiting might be expected to be a full-time job all by itself. However, from the list of responsibilities, it is clear that he has almost more than any three or four extremely talented people who could reasonably be expected to perform those responsibilities. Now with the latest reorganization, direction of Summer School and overseeing of the Senior-to-Sophomore program (S2S) have been added to his plate. Overseeing these two programs is almost by itself another full-time job, which brings the total to over five positions! Given the current $12,000,000 budget deficit, it is clear that people will be expected to do more (with less). However, this is ridiculous!

In the movie Multiplicity (1996), Michael Keaton is able to keep up with all of the demands on him by cloning himself (several times). Everything seemed to be going fine. However, just remember not to 'copy a copy.' Clearly, Dr. Busby is very talented but, unless the SCSU Biology Department has perfected human cloning, there is little chance that he could be successful trying to do five jobs at the same time. Even if he could, who would really want too? Given that there are only 168 hours in a week, how many beyond 50-60 hours do you really want to spend working?

It is not hard to understand why Dr. Busby might have chosen to leave SCSU for retirement back in Ohio. Not only is the weather better, he won't have to wear as many hats unless he's fishing in the Mighty Maumee River. The only thing that is unfortunate for Dr. Busby is that before his departure he didn't have the opportunity to travel internationally at university expense as so many other administrators have done before him.

Tom Brady's suspension


If the NFL wants to maintain its integrity, Tom Brady's suspension needs to be more than a token slap on the wrist. My opinion is based on what's found on pg. 19 of the Wells Committee Report . This information jumped off the page:




During his interview, Brady denied any knowledge of or involvement in any efforts to deflate game balls after the pre-game inspection by the game officials. He claimed that prior to the events surrounding the AFC Championship Game, he did not know McNally's name or anything about McNally's game-day responsibilities, including whether McNally had any role relating to game balls or the game officials. We found these claims not plausible and contradicted by other evidence. In fact, during his interview, Jastremski acknowledged that Brady knew McNally and McNally's role as Officials Locker Room attendant.


Unfortunately for Mr. Brady, that isn't the only damning information on pg. 19. Here's more:






Brady personally was involved in the 2006 rule change that allowed visiting teams to prepare game balls in accordance with the preferences of their quarterbacks. During the process of advocating that rule change, it is reasonable to infer that Brady was likely to be (or become) familiar with the NFL rules regarding game balls, including the 12.5 psi minimum inflation level, although Brady denies having been aware of Rule 2 or the minimum inflation level until 2014 (despite approximately fourteen years as an NFL quarterback).


It's tragic when something like this happens. It's impossible for Brady to deny that he knows about Rule 2. During several videos, Brady emphatically states that he a) prefers his footballs inflated to 12.5 psi and b) doesn't want those game day balls inflated or deflated once he's picked out the game day footballs because, at that point, Brady considers them "perfect."



In this video, Trey Wingo nails Brady in his deceit:



Here's what Wingo said right at the end of the video:




Well, that's an interesting point. He said "I like that ball right at 12.5. How do you know you like it at 12.5 if you can't feel the difference? He also said he can't feel the difference. This is not a Supreme Court case. Let's be clear about this. We're just trying to get to the bottom of the story. That's all we're trying to do. But you can't say, on one hand, that you like it at 12.5 and then say that you can't tell the difference.


That Brady insisted that he wanted the footballs inflated to a certain pressure level during his press conference, then told a different audience that he couldn't tell the difference between balls indicates a disgusting level of deceit on Mr. Brady's part. He's counting on the average fan to not know the things that go into getting a player's equipment just perfect before the games.



Mark Brunell was serious when he talked about the protocol he used in picking out the game balls. His voice intensified when he said "That football is our livelihood." There's nothing casual to an athlete about getting his equipment just perfect.

Because Brady was deceitful, especially during questioning by investigators, he must be suspended for either 4 games or 6 games. The suspension can't be reduced for good behavior, either. What Brady did hurt the integrity of the game.

Check back later today to find out what I'm recommending for discipline for Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick. You don't want to miss it.

It's 219 pages of little to no facts and a lot of conjecture and he probably knew, crap. The NFL better come up with some solid evidence or Brady and the Patriots could sue for libel would be my guess.

The Patriots were the better team no matter how you look at it. They overcame a two touchdown deficit to the Ravens and destroyed the Colts in the second half - with fully inflated balls.

I'll be interested to see what you choose for punishment for Belichick and Kraft since there's no proof that any high crimes or misdemeanors have been committed.

Response 1.1 by Gary Gross at 07-May-15 12:39 PM
Chad, you couldn't be more wrong. There were tons of facts. If you want to say that they didn't find a smoking gun, I'll agree with that. Then I'll highlight the fact that Tom Brady didn't give the investigators access to his text messages.

Further, Brady once insisted that he just used the balls they gave him. Another time, he insisted that he wants the footballs inflated "exactly to 12.5 psi". He can't say he just uses the footballs he's given, then say he wants the footballs prepared a specific way. Also, it's exceptionally Clintonesque for him to say at a press conference that "I didn't deflate any footballs." Of course he didn't. That's what he had Mr. McNally for.

As for the Patriots being the better team against the Colts, that's irrelevant. They cheated. That's the only thing that's relevant. They shouldn't be disciplined for being the better team. They should be disciplined because they cheated.

Comment 2 by Jarrett at 07-May-15 03:55 PM
Im still pissed they won on the last ** LUCKY** play in The Super Bowl. Brady is NOT the All American guy he is sometimes portrayed to be.


Radical Islam's spinmeisters


This article is misguided and apologetic. Here's something that needs to be demolished:




Repeated demonization can inspire violence. This is a fact. 'During the Holocaust, the Nazis went beyond making us social outcasts; they systematically slaughtered our people with unspeakable cruelty. Because we know so well what it is like to be outcasts, we must never, through our deeds or words, make others into modern-day lepers,' says Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the largest Jewish denomination in North America. '[W]hat [Geller] does, what she represents, has no place in a Jewish community that is built on tolerance and understanding.'


The only time when demonization inspires violence is when we're dealing with violent people.



The author cited the Holocaust. That's utterly irrelevant to this discussion. The Nazis were led by a depraved lunatic. Demonization of Christians hasn't led to violence. It's led to protests and complaints. It hasn't led to assassination attempts.

What's disgusting is that the preachers of tolerance haven't criticized the terrorists. It's puzzling why they haven't. After all, they're practitioners of intolerance. They're the executioners.

What's most repulsive about this article is the Neanderthal thinking involved. What's the difference between a) holding a provocative event is justification for a terrorist attack and b) a woman dressed provocatively was asking to get raped?




We cannot defeat terrorist groups like ISIS by following ideology that serves only to demonize the other. Rather, we counter such extremism with better, more compassionate, and more pluralistic concepts that are universal to all people - respect, integrity, and justice.


Actually, it's quite possible to defeat the terrorists by being the nastiest bull in the neighborhood. The thought is that most Muslims are non-violent who want to live without the threat of oppressors. Killing the terrorists, whether they're allied with ISIS or AQAP, gives vast numbers of Muslims the life they want to lead.



I can get along with non-violent Muslims. I won't treat the violent terrorists with anything other than violence.

Finally, I want to thank Ms. Geller for holding this event. It's caused the terrorist apologists and the First Amendment haters to reveal themselves.

SCSU's revolving door


Maybe It's Understandable Why It's Crazy Around Here!

by Silence Dogood


The Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs is the chief academic officer on a university campus. In many ways, the Provost runs the campus while the President raises money from the alumni and state legislators. After the departure of Dr. Devinder Malhotra, Dr. Richard Green was hired as Interim Provost - initially for a period of six months. His contract was extended another six months.

Shown below is the organizational chart for the Provost's areas of responsibility.



In the Provost's office, two of the three individuals listed are serving as interim appointments. Dr. Steve Hoover has now been appointed as Interim Dean of the School of Education so another interim appointment will have to be made to replace him. Dr. David DeGroote was removed as Dean of the College of Science and Engineering in the Summer of 2013 and given a semester-long sabbatical and then an interim job in the Provost's office. Since he was rumored to have not wanted to return to teaching the following year, his position in the Provost's Office was extended another year and he is retiring at the end of this academic term. Apparently, his position is not being filled.

Looking at the Colleges and Schools, of the eight Deans there are three Deans who are serving as interims. Dr. Bruce Busby is finishing his first year as Dean of the University College and Associate Provost for Student Success. Dr. Busby has announced that he has decided to retire in June. An interim will be appointed soon. The most 'senior' (i.e., longest serving Dean) is Dr. Osman Alawiye who as Dean of the School of Education has served for five years as Dean. Dean Alawiye is leaving at the end of this academic term and is being replaced by Dr. Steve Hoover (currently serving as Interim Associate Provost for Faculty and Student Affairs) who will serve as Interim Dean for two years. The three Deans Dr. Mark Springer, Dr. Monica Devers, and Dr. Dan Gregory, were all appointed as interim deans before being selected for the position permanently and all have less than three years as the permanent Dean of their respective College/School.

The Centers and Offices are not much different. Two individuals are listed both under Colleges and Schools and Centers and Offices. Dr. Patricia Hughes, is Interim Associate Provost for Research and Dr. Bruce Busby is Associate Provost for Student Success (Enrollment Management). A search to replace Dr. Hughes has been completed and the President will soon announce her replacement. Dr. Bruce Busby, as mentioned, has announced his retirement so there will be an interim appointment to serve as Associate Provost for Student Success. John Burgeson is retiring at the end of the term and is not being replaced. The Center for Continuing Studies is being dissected and the responsibilities of that office are being distributed across the campus. Dr. Lalita Subrahmanyan, the Director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning will be on sabbatical for the upcoming year and an interim replacement is being sought. Thy Yang, the Associate Vice President for the Center for International Studies is finishing her first year on campus. Dr. Mark Vargas, Dean of Learning Resources is finishing his second year on campus. Only Dr. Dan Wildeson, the Director of the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Education, Darlene St. Clair, Director of the Multicultural Resource Center, and Sue Bayerl, the registrar, have more than four years on the job.

These may all be impressive individuals. However, experience usually counts for something and it is clear that this group of individuals has been going through a lot of 'on the job training.' Is this merry-go-round of administrators responsible for the $12,000,000 FY16 deficit and current enrollment decline? The jury is still out on that one. However, one thing is clear. This is President Earl Potter's team. Since his arrival, all but two senior-level administrators have been replaced and some of them more than once. In fact, in a 17-month period, SCSU had five chief financial officers. One can only hope that these selections were better than the Coborn's Plaza Apartment decision that has already cost SCSU $7,700,000 and is likely to cost another $6,000,000 over the next five years before the university is able to get out of the lease. SCSU simply can't take too many more of these "successes."

Disturbing to say the least. Any public or private sector organization that has a high amount of interim appointments along with a longstanding history of a revolving door of administrators is heading for serious trouble including outright collapse. It is amazing how the chancellor has not provided any kind of external emergency intervention. On the other hand, with Rosenstone's stellar record of getting 7 MnSCU university no confidence votes, maybe it's not all that amazing.


Alan Dershowitz praises Megyn Kelly


Early in this video, Alan Dershowitz lavishly praised Megyn Kelly's opening monologue defending the First Amendment:



First, here's a partial transcript of Megyn Kelly's opening monologue:




MEGYN KELLY: Well, last night we had a thoughtful discussion about free speech and American values and why our commitment to liberty as a nation requires everyone to stand up for the rights of those speaking, even if they're using the most offensive of words. It's not about aligning ourselves with the words. It's about defending a core American principle. First Amendment scholar Eugene Volokh explained how, not only did the people organizing a "Draw Muhammad" event down in Texas have the right to do it, which some had questioned, but how what they did was actually important and of real value because it was an act of defiance. Defiance towards those radical Muslim fanatics who mean to impose their radical moral code on us, namely that certain figures may not be drawn or parodied upon pain of death. What happened in Texas is that a group said no, you don't get to control speech in this country, even if a religion finds it offensive. Sure enough, the jihadis showed up with AK-47s and tried to murder everyone there. Now some suggest that the risk from the event is that some of our Muslim nation coalition allies might be less inclined to fight the jihad if they see some private group like this one hold a private event. So private citizens shouldn't do things even behind closed doors now, lest they cause offense? Because our friends in Egypt might get ticked off. But the fact is we don't compromise America's bedrock principles just to make other nations like us more just as we don't require them to change their values before we fight a common enemy. Otherwise, Egypt's "We will kill you for leaving Islam" might be a deal-breaker. The bottom line here is that some in this country have been so busy trying how to figure out how to avoid causing any religion any offense, they have forgotten what is offensive to Americans, namely those who would trample on our core ideals. In America, we stand for liberty and freedom to offend, to provoke, to persuade and to defy.



Alan Dershowitz is a Harvard Law Professor Emeritus and author of the book "Taking the Stand: My Life in the Law." Alan, let me start with you...

DERSHOWITZ: Let me start with you first and applaud your statement. It was fantastic. It is the paradigm for how Americans have to look at our freedoms and our First Amendment. Jefferson would have been proud of you.


That led Professor Dershowitz to make this important historical observation:






DERSHOWITZ: Now, look, everything that the critics of Geller have said could be said about Martin Luther King. Now, I don't want to make any comparisons between the two of them morally but, from a constitutional law standpoint, there is no difference. Martin Luther King picked some of the cities he went to precisely to provoke and bring out the racists and show what type of violent people they are so the world could see what was wrong with Jim Crow. It's part of the American tradition to provoke so the world can see.


Here's one of the things I wrote in this post :




It's worth noting, though, that radical adherents of Islam react violently when confronted with objectionable depictions of Muhammad but that the vilest representatives of Christianity, aka the Westboro Baptist Church, show up at funerals with disgusting signs. Another thing worth noting is that universities are told to establish 'an inclusive and welcoming environment' for Muslims but aren't told to establish that type of environment for Christians.


The event in Texas verified what I wrote here, namely, that Muslim terrorists react violently whereas the nastiest Christians get is they show up at funerals with disgusting signs.



Thanks to the event in Texas, it's now clear that the vilest Christians react dramatically differently than Muslim terrorists.

Comment 1 by Gretchen Leisen at 08-May-15 09:44 PM
Thanks, Gary for this excellent commentary. Why we Americans should sacrifice our freedom of speech in order to avoid offending radical Muslims, is a mystery to me. They are offended by so many things, that it would be difficult to not offend them. Tip-toeing around hot-headed Islamo-fascists is not an American characteristic, and we ought never to succumb to this behavior.


Robert Kraft's discipline


As owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft is responsible for setting the direction of the team. He hired the GM and the head coach. He established what was acceptable conduct within the organization and what wasn't acceptable. Apparently, the list of things that aren't acceptable is a short list whereas the list of things that Mr. Kraft will turn a blind eye towards is lengthy and growing.

After the Patriots got caught cheating during this year's AFC Championship Game, Kraft didn't offer an apology. Rather, he threw this hissy fit:



Early in the video, Kraft said this odd thing:




KRAFT: I want to make it clear that I believe unconditionally that the New England Patriots have done nothing inappropriate in this process or in violation of NFL rules.


That's odd because belief that you're innocent isn't a legal standard. It certainly isn't proof of anything. The proof contained in the Wells Report points to just one conclusion: that Tom Brady, with the help of Jim McNally, cheated by deflating the Patriots' game day footballs.

Further, Robert Kraft didn't cooperate when required to. When the NFL's investigators wanted to do a second interview with Jim McNally, Kraft's Patriots said no. Unilaterally, they shut down that part of the investigation. Despite shutting that part of the investigation down, Kraft insists that they fully cooperated.

That's led to this absurd premise: that the organization that's getting investigated gets to a) determine when the investigation is complete and b) tell investigators how far they can go. Imagine if those principles were transferred to our criminal justice system. If the person getting investigated got to determine the length of the investigation, our prisons would be empty.

After the release of the Wells Report, Kraft criticized the report in this statement . This part especially stands out:




Based on the explanations I have heard and the studies that have been done, I don't know how the science of atmospheric conditions can be refuted or how conclusions to the contrary can be drawn without some definitive evidence.


The person who helped the NFL's investigators is more than qualified:






As part of the investigation, scientific consultants were engaged to assist the investigative team. These consultants included Exponent, one of the leading scientific and engineering consulting firms in the country, and Dr. Daniel R. Marlow , the Evans Crawford 1911 Professor of Physics at Princeton University and former Chairman of the Princeton University Physics Department , who served as a special scientific consultant, coordinated with Exponent on its testing and analytical work, and advised the investigative team.


If Kraft wants to criticize that part of the investigation, he's got a tough fight ahead because the chairman of the University of Princeton's Physics Department will likely be a compelling witness.



Kraft's organization dug itself a hole by cheating. Tragically, Kraft added to his organization's troubles by not cooperating with the investigation. Additionally, Kraft criticized the Report without proof that would exonerate his star quarterback.

That's why the Patriots should forfeit next year's first round draft pick and pay a $1,000,000 fine. They compromised the integrity of the game. That's inexcusable.

Comment 1 by Chad Q at 10-May-15 08:40 AM
You're making a whole lot out of nothing here. Even if the NFL does fine the Patriots $1 mil and takes away a worthless 1st round (probably a #30+ pick), they will still be better than most of the teams out there.

The NFL brought this problem on themselves by allowing teams to have their own balls. But even with that, there's still no proof the Patriot's did anything wrong, only 240+ pages of finger pointing and WAG's and I believe it says the Colt's had under inflated balls too. Again, with under inflated balls the Patriots only had a 10 point lead and with fully inflated balls, they destroyed the Colts in the second half. They also beat the Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

Oh and by the way, the Vikings and Panthers actually got caught doctoring the balls at TCF stadium (warming them with heaters) but no one is talking about that and no fines or penalties will be levied. Could it be that some people and the NFL are just out to get the Patriots?

Comment 2 by Gary Gross at 10-May-15 09:53 AM
Enough with the "whole lot of nothing" BS. The Patriots knowingly and willfully cheated.

First, it's indisputable that the Patriots game balls were deflated. Jim McNally, the Patriot employee who took the game balls from the officials' dressing room, said that he stopped in the restroom right before the playing field to take a leak. His problem is that there isn't a urinal in that bathroom.

Second, Tom Brady said that he wasn't aware of Rule 2, which deals with inflating footballs. That's a problem because he & Peyton Manning lobbied for changes in Rule 2.

That proof he's lying.

As for them being "better than most of the teams out there", that's irrelevant. Cheating is cheating. There's no such thing as acceptable cheating.

As for the possibility that "some people and the NFL" being out to get the Patriots, that's definitely a possibility. Teams that cheat should have a target painted on them.

The Patriots like to tell people that they're the model franchise. That's BS. They're the most corrupt team in the NFL. This isn't their first time getting caught cheating.


Transportation talking points


To: Kurt Daudt, David Hann

From: Gary Gross

Subject : Transportation negotiations

Considering the fact that rank-and-file Minnesotans have stated emphatically that they won't cheerfully accept another tax increase, GOP leadership in the Minnesota legislature shouldn't attempt to strike a deal with Gov. Dayton and DFL leadership that includes a gas tax increase. Period. Tax increases are totally off the table. If Gov. Dayton wants to throw another hissy fit, that's fine. The GOP should record Gov. Dayton's hissy fit and upload it to YouTube.

There are some things Speaker Daudt and Sen. Hann should forever keep in mind during these negotiations. Here are the things that they shouldn't forget, in order of importance:






  1. The last time the DFL pushed a gas tax increase, they promised it would solve our underfunding of roads and bridges for the next 20 years. That was 2008. It's 2015 and they're back, this time insisting that a significantly bigger tax increase is needed. Don't double down on the DFL's failure.


  2. The GOP plan is popular. Insist that the DFL adopt the GOP plan or face a major advertising campaign from now through Election Day. Tell them that every vulnerable DFL legislator in the House and Senate will be targeted with advertising that tells their constituents that they voted for a gas tax increase.


  3. You're building trust with Republican activists and independents by being straight shooters. Don't throw that away by agreeing to a transportation compromise that includes a gas tax increase. Accepting a tax increase will be seen as a betrayal. That will lead to Republicans losing the House and the DFL holding the Senate in 2016. (Remember the disaster the last time the DFL controlled the House and Senate and held the governorship?)


  4. Keep pressure on the DFL by addressing the press anytime they're available. Remind them that the DFL's last transportation bill was a failure. Remind them, too, that 75% of Minnesotans agreed with the GOP transportation plan and that 51% of Minnesotans rejected the DFL's plan.




It's important to constantly switch the conversation away from transportation. Constantly drag the conversation back to fixing Minnesota's potholed roads and highways. Outside the Twin Cities, it's difficult to find a dozen transit advocates. Outside the Twin Cities, it's impossible to find a person who's happy with Minnesota's potholed roads.

Play to those facts. Portray the DFL as who they are -- the political party who listen to the special interests and the lobbyists while reminding them that a) Republicans listened to their constituents before the session started and b) Republicans are still listening to their constituents by refusing to raise gas taxes.

Hillary's Rent-a-President candidacy


If anything is clear, it's that Hillary Clinton's policies can be purchased. Russia wants to buy American uranium. Not a problem. Hire Bill to give a speech and I'll approve the purchase. The Saudis wanted Hillary to ignore their treatment of women. Not a problem. Contribute $25,000,000 to the Clinton Foundation and I'll develop a blind spot. Hillary thinks that the United States is waging a war on women because taxpayers won't pay for birth control pills they think are abortifacients. Hillary doesn't think that the Saudis are waging a war on women even though they treat women like property and allow genital mutilation.

It's amazing the types of twisted thoughts a deceitful person can pretzel themselves into if they're desperate to please everyone all the time. Hillary desperately wants to keep the Democratic field all to herself. She desperately wants to keep Elizabeth Warren on the sidelines. To quote Ron Fournier, "If Elizabeth Warren called for full Communism, Clinton would be at the barricades the next day." Hillary desperately wants to convince people that she's listening to them. She isn't :








Hillary has been a presidential candidate for weeks. (Some might think it's years.) She still hasn't said how she'd grow the economy for the middle class. All she's said is that she wants to be "a champion for everyday people."

It's impossible to be "a champion for everyday people" when you're putting your policies up for sale to the highest bidder. It's impossible to be that champion if your family's foundation is constantly accepting multimillion dollar contributions from multinational corporations, international businessmen and foreign countries with terrible human rights records. Champions for everyday people should fight for small businesses and reduced regulations. Hillary the Champion of Everyday People has fought her entire political career for overregulation of small businesses and higher taxes on entrepreneurs.

She's done that because she's a wholly owned subsidiary of major multinational corporations. When they contribute to the Clinton Foundation, she dances to their tune. BTW, shouldn't Elizabeth Warren, who's always talking about how the game is rigged against everyday people, be upset about Hillary's betrayal of everyday people? Shouldn't Hillary's sellout be enough provocation to get Sen. Warren into the race? Isn't it possible that she isn't interested because Sen. Warren isn't worried about the game being rigged?

You can't be for everyday people when your highest priority is pandering to multinational corporations and foreign countries with terrible human rights records. That's what bought-and-paid-for corporatists do.

The question before the American people is whether they'll settle for the political equivalent of a used car salesman or whether they'll demand a fresh face with new ideas.
