Does anybody no if this comment is true? on al.com

Although the "No Confidence Vote" by the UAB Student Government and the same vote by the UAB Senate Faculty are symbol they will be justification (trigger) S.A.C.S. to place UAB on a "Show Cause" status: Dr. Watts will have to prove he has the ability to lead the university; what justified the vote and are there any violations of governing guidelines. By law, S.A.C.S. has to notify the U.S. Department of Education within 7 days of the "No Confidence Votes". The Department of Education will then place the university on a "Administrative Capability" status ordering Full "Program Review" of UAB. Each review will be extremely costly and UAB will have to pay the tab. Neither S.A.C.S. or the Department of Education have the authority to fire the President, but they have the authority (based on their reviews) to deny accreditation licensure yearly renewals and can suspend all financial aid until a President is appointed who meets their standards.

Secondly, if U.A.B. operates independent of U.A. having been assigned its own P.P.A.(Program Participation Agreement) with the Department Of Ed., and funds financial aid with a different I.F.N. (institutional Funding Number) than U.A. then S.A.C.S and Department of Ed. can force changes in the Boards. Not sure why or how U.A. and U.A.B. have got by so long with S.AC.S. and Department of Ed., but there is a Conflict of Interest in U.A.B.'s Board structure. However, now that these issues are in the face off S.A.C.S., the U.S. Department of Ed. and the public, changes are coming to U.A.B. - regardless of why, and how it happened. Dr. Watts can be forced out of his position for lack of "Administrative Capabilities".

Wow. No idea if that's true, but that's powerful and puts more importance on tomorrow's vote.

I think you may have answered your own question.

well it seemed to be better written than most comments. But, mostly it seemed too good to be true. I am no expert on SACs so I simply don't know.

I'm not either, but if that is accurate it is huge.

Click on the guy's screenname. There's a fascinating post from 7 Dec with more detail.

If he's delusional, it's a very comprehensive delusion.

Wow. If this guy is making this stuff up his talents are wasted on al.com
