Visionaries,
Carl is correct that I have expressed concern about recent financial issues 
at the University.  Despite those problems I would like to be perfectly clear 
that what ever self-aggrandizing hubris was behind the Boise Place decision, it 
has nothing to do with my support for my former colleagues, family, and 
friends and the extraordinary faculty who work at UI.  In fact, I suggest that 
there is about the same degree of separation between them and the *suits* who 
thought *they* ran UI and the congregation of Christ Church and the elders and 
pastor who lay down the law, and write humiliating letters to the governor.  

Since 1954, when my father joined the Mechanical Engineering faculty, to 
today, our family has had a continuous bond to UI.  I am proud to have gone to 
school and to have worked there.  And I am not confused about where the 
university draws its real strength, and who, in fact really enables the university to 
serve the state of Idaho.  Hint: it is not the bureaucrats sitting in private 
offices in the Ad Building. 

Is there a lesson in this for Christ Church?  Even the most arrogant CC 
leaders ought to be able to get it.  

Rose Huskey
