[Vision2020] University of Idaho Security Breach

[Tom Hansen]

My sentiments exactly, Rose.

I strongly believe that the University of Idaho is due for a major 
administrative overhaul (including employment terminations), starting at the 
UI President's office and proceeding door-to-door in the administration 
building.

UI President White's "regime" has been nothing short of a continuous source 
of embarrasments and excuses since its inception.  Perhaps we should change 
a few office nameplates.
