Is it true that it is much more expensive than alternative institutions? Is it true that the rate of loan default at the U of P is much higher than at other kinds of institution? These are questions of fact. If people feel that Pres. Roquemore is being treated unfairly by this blog, then why aren't they citing facts in defense of the U of P and this MOU? Why is it that, time after time, this blog makes claims and then supports them and then the so-called "other side" remains utterly mute, offering nothing except charges that a critic is "unprofessional" for daring to criticize?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-1316713269993035142014-09-05T19:47:16.272-07:002014-09-05T19:47:16.272-07:00What amazes me is that those who feel that "t...What amazes me is that those who feel that "their side" is not represented (I'm being charitable here) never seem to get their F-ing acts together to offer any rebuttal. Was the Register mistaken in citing all those changes and deletions? Really? How so? Was it mistaken in reporting that Wagner and Padberg's biggest doners and supporters were the group that controlled the war chest of the faculty union? Really? How so exactly? <br />The bald assertion that Bauer is "unprofessional" for noting the sleaziness and dishonesty of a colleague is not a <i>rebuttal</i>. It is utterly logically empty. It is, in fact, a case of responding to someone with a point by focusing on that someone and attributing failings to him.

You assert that Chandos is corrupt, and then you provide ample evidence, complete with citations from newspaper articles (I love the way your critic fails to notice that the conservative OC Register was among the newspapers!). Evidently, your critic takes the view that one can never call a colleague corrupt, even when he is, well, corrupt. <br />No need to label such a person. The facts speak for themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-7646565742754672702014-09-05T19:26:51.507-07:002014-09-05T19:26:51.507-07:005:28: first of all, fuck you.

And I mean that. <br />Second, the notion that civility and professionalism preclude noting that a colleague (with power or authority) is corrupt (when he or she is corrupt) is manifestly indefensible. <br />Years ago, I would cite and amply illustrate Pres. Mathur's many lies and distortions. Amazingly, some colleagues called that "name-calling." No, it's not name-calling, it is rational discourse in a free society. You would have every right to object to my imputations (re Chandos) if I were to fail to provide evidence or arguments for them. But, unlike you, I exhibit no such failing. <br />As for ethics: I'm always amazed by people who imagine that ethics require that one <i>remain silent</i> when people with power or authority abuse that power or authority. It's a damned good thing that good people generally ignore your kind of "ethics" advice. Doncha think?<br />Also: <i>fuck you</i>. Is that name-calling? In any case, it succinctly expresses the degree to which I hold you in esteem, you cowardly, unprinciple, witless <i>shit</i>. <br />Yeah, that's name-calling, I suppose. Ah, but is it also accurate? And if it is accurate, exactly what is the objection to it?Roy Bauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107385463457119300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-35096593208257879842014-09-05T17:28:24.617-07:002014-09-05T17:28:24.617-07:00"Ray Chandos is a stunningly corrupt fellow&q..."Ray Chandos is a stunningly corrupt fellow" (Roy Bauer, 2014).<br /><br />Well, gee Roy, how civil of you!
