Don't lock that coffin lid yet

I knew it was too good to be true.

Google the words cowen and Tulane. The 6th or so hit I got was titled Cowen to Leave. Unfortunately, it was when he left Case Western. But Clueless Cowen may be going back to Cleveland!!!

This would work out for all concerned. Cowen could leave and take moLester with him. The board wouldn't have to fire him and all would save face. And Newcomb and Engineering wouldn't have to go.

Let us pray.

Also, in case the board doesn't see the error of their ways, they've been sued by Newcomb alumnae and students.

From John Pope:

The action, which was filed the day before the quarterly meeting of Tulane’s governing body, has been allotted to U.S. District Judge J. Carl Barbier, who set a March 30 hearing on the plaintiff’s motion for an injunction against the university. Until then, he said Tulane should not do “anything that couldn’t be undone in short order.”

This, and there's a class action suit coming up against Tulane and Cowen by Engineering students, parents of students, faculty, and alumni. Oh, and the AAUP is about to censure Tulane, as well. Finally, don't forget, if Cowen's plan to remove the geographical district of Lusher goes through, there will be a class action by all homeowners in the Lusher district.

Yeah, with all these legal bills, you're really getting Tulane on the right track, Bubba. The door is open in Cleveland. Take it, and take Lester to Ohio with you.

Even though the board approved the elimination of Newcomb, they won't appease the plantiffs by merely setting up a Newcomb Institute.

Sophie Newcomb will come back, and hopefully will bring Albert Baldwin Wood with her, arm in arm. Or at least the deafening silence of David Filo will be broken.

moLester is a creepy looking dude. Thanks very much for the link, given that somehow he helps keep food on my table at night, thanks to Dr. Mrs. Clio.

We can hope, yes. I was unaware of all of the lawsuits but apparently Cowen will have almost everyone against him at some point.

Note how the Case Western prez resigned after a no-confidence vote by the faculty. It mystifies me why Tulane doesn't take a vote.

78% of N.O. voters say Tulane should keep engineering and Newcomb. So says CitiBusiness:

that David Davin-Power, the Paul Williams of politcal joarsulinm i.e. only asks official sources for news, is saying Cowen will NOT resign today.So there you go, Cowen WILL resign today. Deffo. If Davin-Power is saying it's not happening, and he is the man who said Willie O'Dea will not have to resign, then it is happening. He always say's out of the woods and I always say Davin-Power is stuck so far up Fianna Fails hole he never see's the wood from the trees. Establishment cunts in RTE wouldn't know how to find news if it hit them in the face. Note to RTE News is what people in power DON'T want you to know, News is not what they tell you to say. Useless Beverly Copper Flynn, just pay half the bill cunts.

to Brian, we know you have no knowledge of bnnkiag So Mary Harney and Charlie McCreevy gave a a guy, who they knew had no knowledge of bnnkiag, the job of setting up The Financial Regulator.His experience was in organistional culture. Anybody who has any knowledge of management knows that organisational change and culture iis the wishiest and washiest bullshit out there. He reckons we all need to more positive. He dopesn't watch Vincent Browne because it's too depressing. Truth hurts pal.p.s. RTE have just read out an apology due to a guest saying that an economist working for one of the elite agencys spending my money is a shit economist. RTE apologises and doesn't agree that the man is a shit economist. That's alright then.Still no arrests.
