While I don't think Tim White has been perfect, I thank him for what he did accomplish, much of which was, and is, behind the scenes. He came to the University of Idaho at a particularly bleak time in its history, and the stress had to be horrible. He faced the huge hole dug by University Place, and had to deal with a state legislature that isn't exactly education friendly, and a SBOE that is populated by people more suited to a television sit-com than an actual board of education. He must have something that UC-Riverside and the President of the University of California system like. I wish him well, and I certainly hope that the next President is a very, very good one. This is a crucial hire.

Under Tim Whit The enrollment of UI has gone down while other universities enrollment has gone up. He has hired to many unnecessary high paid administrators reduced staffing of Facilities Management and neglected needed maintenance. He spent a lot of money on developing a new logo ( twice). He unnecessarily painted over the old logo on the water towers. Diversity is fine but is should not be the the main emphasis of the University. The focus of University should be on research and education. That is the true mission of a University.<br>> Roger<br>> <br>> =======================================================<br>> List services made available by First Step Internet, <br>> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <br>> http://www.fsr.net <br>> mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com<br>> =======================================================<br><br /><hr />Make Windows Vista more reliable and secure with Windows Vista Service Pack 1. <a href='http://www.windowsvista.com/SP1?WT.mc_id=hotmailvistasp1banner' target='_new'>Learn more.</a></body>
