SECOND CLASS CITIZENS?

Well isn't that interesting............

We've gone from a Presidential Reception at the very prestigious, and nationally known Oakland Hills Country Club to

A very upscale Condo-Golf Course Club House, at the Heathers, in Bloomfield Hills,

To a Bar in Royal Oak.

Will the meeting be held on Bikers Night ?

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Parking is bad enough in Royal Oak.

We are advising our Alumni not to attend, in protest for this disrespect for President Dunn,
and all Western Michigan University Alumni and Friends.
Of course, this will give the Director an occasion to self promote, and an opportunity to troll for money.
Although, several of the staff members have been supportive, the Director has been nothing more than an obstructionist.

In a meeting with Director Thomas last October, during which he commented, several times, "I can do that!",
with specific dates mentioned. Nothing happened !
Not only did "Nothing Happen", he offered no apology or explanation. Arrogant?
(BTW, there is no"I" in team.)

The results of subsequent meetings with both last year, and this year, have now been overridden by Director Thomas.
This is a guy who abolished a functioning Alumni Association, who's own Alma Mater, The State Agriculture College,
in East Lansing, seems to have an Alumni Association.
Does he think it's beneath him, to have joined us in Kalamazoo? This self promotion, makes us think he's trolling for another job.

We really don't care if he raises a Jillion Dollars, if continues to behave in an insulting manner towards our Alma Mater,
and the majority of our Alumni, because of a perceived "inadequate Dunn and Bradstreet Rating".
Could he be walking the same path as "Beatle Bailey" ? I can do what ever I want, as long as I don't get caught !

The inability or disinterest to operate a functioning WMU Alumni Association is apparently beyond Director Thomas's
ability. Very disrespectful !

A word to the wise for President Dunn,
"You can delegate the authority, but not the responsibility.",
a basic tenant of Management and Supervision.

Let the Games Begin !
