59% prefer our own board, 19% want equal representation, 16% ok with the bill and 6% ok with the BOT as is. ChaCHing!

I'll use the current numbers for my following point.

66% - UAB have its own board
17% - Equal representation from UA, UAB and UAH
13% - Sen. Waggoner's proposal is the best solution
5% - Keep the board the same.

If you look at this, people who realize the board needs some sort of change have 3 options to choose from. Those who feel the board is fine in its current state only have one choice. You would think that this would split the percentage of people in favor of overhaul and possibly dilute the point, in favor of people who think the board is fine as is since they only have one choice. It didn't do that.

Even though they only had one option to choose from instead of the three options given to people who recognize the need for change, keeping the board the same has received the lowest percentage of votes at a paltry 5%.
