I assume all other schools have as many headlines…?

I've come to assume that this type of thing is the cost of doing "business." Nothing to see here. I like that the article has some details though. Made for entertaining reading.

Some people have a knack for getting out of Dodge just before the crap hits the fan. Neeli appears to be one of them. Pete Carroll is another one who immediately came to mind.

An enviable skill that I wish I possessed.

Is the suny guy out of jail? PSU may need him.

Hey, she may not be all bad.

Universities and university presidents get sued all the time. In this case, Bendapudi is not a defendant in the lawsuit. Not much of a news headline, IMO.

 

[JohnJumba]

What does the law say?

 

[GrimReaper]

“The Board of Trustees has complete confidence in the leadership of President Bendapudi and senior vice president and chief of staff Michael Wade Smith,” Schuyler said.

Sound familiar?

I am not sure how/why M Schuyler would think he speaks for every member of the Board.

Fuel to amp up the A$$. BEATING. on the 21st and 22nd.

Don't know why he feels that there is a need to comment at all.

There may be strategic reasons for suing the University vs. suing the President of same. Regardless, the accusations certainly concern matters that crossed Bendapudi's desk and involve her alleged input.

We better get Freeh on the case. He'll straighten it all out. Is PSU still on his retainer?

If that quote about the FBI is accurate, then she has won a few points with me.

I hope it is. That's the highlight of the article for me.

The article as a whole isn’t a good look for Neeli. It seems that she ran the place.

The lawsuit claims that Shoemaker was a mandatory reporter in this incident. Did she have an obligation to inform Neeli before going to the police? It seems that Shoemaker was in the right in going to the police.

So the president of university is discouraging a staff member from cooperating with the FBI?!

Mandatory or not, Shoemaker should have gone to the police. The only fault I might find is that she didn't inform Dr. Bendapudi immediately.

Calm down J. Edgar. That's not my point. The quote is loaded, if true. I'd love to hear her full explanation of it. That might be full of riches.

I'm perfectly calm, Elmer. Leave the quote out. Narrative still reads that Shoemaker was berated for cooperating with the FBI.

This could simply be a bitter employee who is making up stuff to win a case. Perhaps Neeli was upset that she wasn’t informed. That’s a far cry from Wade saying Neeli is solely responsible for the situation. I also doubt that Neeli said that about the FBI.

 

[Bob78]

Don't know why he feels that there is a need to comment at all.

From the article, he apparently made the comment after saying he would have no comment.

I'm waiting for a BOT member to state when this will all be behind us so we can move forward.

Yes, if it's true, I'd like to hear her explain what she "meant" by that.

Will BARRY. grill her at the upcoming bot meeting?

Your investment might be a good one after all.

Schuyler dealing with BARRY. :

 

[PSU73]

I think that this is very significant in how an organization should function especially when it means going outside the organization and, unless Bendpudi was out of the country and unable to be contacted, was a must.
The question that this leaves open to me is: once informed, would Bendpudi have agreed to report it?

 

[ApexLion]

Hey, she may not be all bad.

If true, Ira be inviting her for Thanksgiving. She's "his kind of people."

 

[ApexLion]

I think he would definitely then answer questions about what he finds out. Open forumish kind of thing.

The ineptness of our search committees is astonishing. The clouds that covered the Suny guy choice the rumors of financial problems with Sandy at Cal and now this.
