Nov. 3: THE SCHRADER BROUHAHAHAHA. I’ve thrown away my hearing aid and stuffed my ears with q-tips. Nevertheless, I hear lots of things about the Dean Kathleen Schrader brouhaha. Let’s just say that there are those who believe that, on the day that Schrader was “fired,” this is what occurred:
Schrader was called into President Roquemore’s office and “reprimanded” for, well, something. As near as anyone can tell, she was reprimanded for, um, allowing bio faculty to joke briefly about his wife’s goddam cake. Or maybe about his wife, a notorious personage.
OK, then Schrader leaves Roquemore’s office, still employed, and goes to her office, where she encounters her secretary, the woman who, we’re told, delivered the infamous School meeting “tape recording” to Roquemore’s office. (Was she Roquemore or Craig Justice’s secret mole? Was she an open mole? Want kind of college uses moles?)
Naturally, at this point, Schrader is disinclined to murmer sweet nothings into the secretary’s ear. Instead, she roared something like, “Blah, blah, blah, you fucking bitch!”
I dunno. To me, that seems understated. --Under the circumstances, I mean.
Next (according to the story), Ms. Mole immediately rats out Schrader. Upon hearing Mole’s report of fresh Schraderian atrocities, Glenn fires Schrader.
—Except for one thing. The law is such that, given these circumstances, Schrader cannot be “fired.” She’s not fired until HR makes that determination, and, as far as we know, HR has not made that determination.

Further, until Schrader is “fired,” no one can be hired to replace her as dean.
There’s been lots of murmurings about Schrader’s “replacement” (if that’s the word). The name that seems to come up the most is a tenured professor of Mathematics. I've heard that from several sources.
Could be. That person definitely has administrative ambitions.
If this "you bitch" story (or some version of it) is true, we are still confronted with this very odd fact: that Prez Roquemore reprimanded Dean Schrader, not for something she said about his wife, but for something her faculty said (without Schrader’s encouragement) briefly, informally, during a School meeting.
There are some seriously incompetent administrators on this campus. I'm continually amazed that Roquemore has no trouble with that.
But let a dean preside over a meeting in which people criticize the First Lady's cake, and there's hell to pay.

Not quite true. Listen for yourself at cccconfer.org in the archives. The dean invited the cake comments, even knowing full well that the meeting was being recorded, since she set up the recorded teleconference herself. No need for a "tape recording."
SO it all was about cake! Thanks 2:18 AM! (Glenn? Kiana?)
Let a "lady" dean preside over the meeting you mean.
This wouldn't have happened to one of the guys.
You know what comes out of their mouths, the kind of emails they share with each other HA HA HA.
If Roy had any good information, which he doesn't, he wouldn't have posted this. He is doing a smatter gun. He doesn't know what is happening and just runs a rumor mongering blog now. Let's do some rumor mongering. Rumors are fun for folks who have nothing to do. What's the latest rumor? What's the latest conspiracy?
I've heard that Roy and Kathy Schrader are doing that thing which is why he is defending her. They are perfect together. Let's hope it is true, that way Roy will be to occupied to spread rumors about others. Go Roy and Kathy.
Roy hasn't listened to CCC Confer because he doesn't know what it is. What dean in their right mind would log on to CCC Confer and think that the meeting is "private". What dean in their right mind would do this, knowing everyting that is said is on tape? What faculty member would particpate knowing that they are taped. Hey, Roy, get the tape before you cast judgment. Everybody knew the meeting was being taped which is the nature of CCC Confer. There was no mole. Silly, silly. You are out of the loop and digitally challenged.
Tape Really ????? Recorded through tubes and wires ?
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion
Hey, did you also happen to catch one of our own faculty flipping the bird? It’s in that same public CCC Confer session. Hardly representative of our College. I wonder if there were any consequences...
