[Vision2020] School Administration and Oversight (from the BLog)

[g. crabtree]

Thank you, Andreas. I followed your suggestion and read up a little bit on 
private inurement and I fail to see how it applies to the current 
discussion. What indication is there that anyone at CC/NSA/Logos is:

 "providing benefits to insiders which exceed the value of the related goods 
or services provided by the insiders to the organization?"

This accusation/insinuation seems to be another in a rather long line of 
fishing expeditions created to darken the reputation of a group with no 
evidence at hand. I guess certain folks never  get tired on the game of 
dreaming up silly transgressions and demanding that they be answered for. 
Just once I'd enjoy seeing even a glimmering of proof accompany one of Ford 
& company's ridiculous assertions.
