So the reporter talked to the Watts minion Linda Lucas who gave the company line. "All is well, nothing to see here"

Sure, it was on the calendar anyway. Doesn't mean that football, transparency and shared governance won't come up.

She didn't say that at the NAS meeting. She was pleading for us to support Watts despite the decision to cut the three programs.

Yep.

Linda forgot to mention the extra investigators due to the reports filed against them. ;-)

The comments from Lucas caused me to wonder - How much control does a university have over the composition of the visiting committee? I have heard it said that certain coaches can bar certain officials from officiating their team's games. Can such a "courtesy" be applied to members of a visiting committee?

I left these comments about the article on al.com specifically for the reporter. I hope she reads them:

This the kind of one sided article that you get when the reporter only talks to one person. If she had done her job properly she would known that SACS is well aware of the no confidence votes by the Faculty Senate, as well as those of the undergraduate and graduate student government associations.

Had she done her job properly she would know SACS had received numerous inputs from alumni alerting them to the lack of integrity and shared governess displayed by Dr. Watts' administration. These, along with non-interference by the Board of Trustees in the day to day running of a university are very important SACS principles which every university is expected to follow.

Again if the reporter had done her job properly she would have known SACS has added an extra investigator to group visiting UAB specifically to look into the above mentioned problems.

Then again, the reporter looks young is probably inexperienced. Sooner or later she will learn to be suspicious when the person she is talking to gives her the old, "Move along, move along, there is nothing to see here" routine.

This prepared statement must be on a shared drive for all to access anytime they want to say nothing.
