Restoring Confidence
Credit goes to John Archibald on Twitter for this gem:

RE: Restoring Confidence
So uab created that document? Seems like that is something you would want to keep under wraps instead of publicizing.

That has got to be a UAB-created document. The graphic design elements scream UAB Public Relations and internal marketing.

Not to mention the poor grammar ("Trustee pledge public support for president.") In basic English grammar, Ray, the tense of subject and verb must agree. There, I gave you that for free and you spent how much of the public's money on Direct Communications again?

Fire Ray Watts. Fire him NOW.

ONLY reason he is not hearing FRW is because Clark asked us not to. Move forward but remain vigilant.

Watts either has the goods on some (or all) of them or they just don't care to bother firing him and having to hire someone new.

If this document is trying to show how to handle a crisis, then it is bad advice considering most presidents would have been let go long before they had the chance to see the black cloud lifted. I'd say the cloud has lifted despite Watts staying on as president.

RE: Restoring Confidence
Watts and Direct Communications are taking advantage of a quiet stretch; they point to many neutral signs thinking them signs that things are calming down. Maybe they are trying to provoke a response? Or, they might be too obtuse to see that Watts is still just as radioactive as he was in December.

Are they are aware of the undercurrent of dislike for the man? This broadsheet is just some more "knowledge that will change your world".
