[Vision2020] Christmas Craft Fun Day

[Donovan Arnold]

Hampster,
 
You have evaded the question of how this rental agreement violated state, local, or federal laws or UI policy as you indicated they did, and have failed to demonstrate other comparative examples of other groups renting the Kibbie Dome at much higher rates during the same time frame backing your "blue light special" claim. 
 
I my guess is that you are letting your hatred of Doug Wilson compromise your judgment and values.
 
Donovan Arnold

As an added footnote of interest to "The Deal" . . .

Former UI Director of Communications, Bob Hieronymus, retired from UI and
was picked up by New Saint Andrews College, as its Executive Vice
President, shortly after CC's 2005 Trinity Fest.

Coincidence?  Maybe.
