Well, I know you'll miss that secret frission you always get from "perversion," but I suspect Miami will muddle through.
At least the Miami president retired out of his postion.
At Western Michigan the president used the job as a stepping stone to the University of Missouri.......a school rated below Miami.
:rolleyes:

There is nothing wrong with liberals. But I’ll tell you what is wrong with conservatives. They spend too much time worrying about who is screwing Monica Lewinski, and not enough time worrying about who is screwing the American people.

Yes, you need a good conservative administration, like the one at Hillsdale College.
You know the kind, where the conservative president is banging his conservative daughter-in-law.
I'll bet they were at church every Sunday.

Yeah, Miami needs a good old conservative president like George Roche III.
Hillsdale College president retires amid rumors
School, police mum on any connection to suicide
November 11, 1999

Hillsdale College president George Roche III, a conservative icon who led the school for nearly three decades, retired Wednesday.
The retirement, agreed to by the Board of Trustees, came amid a swirl of rumors that Roche, 64, had a relationship with his daughter-in-law, 41-year-old Lissa Roche, and that he is somehow connected to her Oct. 17 on-campus suicide. Lissa Roche was the managing editor of the Hillsdale College Press.

Lissa Roche
The trustees announced that Robert Blackstock, the provost under Roche, will be acting president while a search committee finds a replacement.
Members of the five-member committee are author William F. Buckley, former U.S. Secretary of Education William Bennett and Hillsdale trustees William Brodbeck, Curtis Shaneour and John Pearson.
Blackstock did not provide any details of the retirement or the reason for it.
It's been widely reported -- but not confirmed by school officials or family members -- that the college president had a relationship with his daughter-in-law. Lissa Roche was the wife of Roche's son, George Roche IV, 44, a history professor at the school.
She was found dead under a gazebo on the campus with a gunshot wound to her head, apparently within six hours of talking with her father-in-law, police said.
Hillsdale police have said they are investigating the death as a suicide and wanted to talk to the elder Roche only because they think he may be able to add details about her frame of mind. He has been cooperative, police said.
Secretary of State driver's license records show that the father, son and daughter-in-law shared the same Hillsdale address.
The retiring president was unavailable for comment Wednesday. Blackstock walked off amid a flurry of reporters' unanswered questions.
While on his honeymoon in Hawaii last week -- Roche divorced his wife of 44 years in April and remarried in September -- Roche was placed on a leave of absence from his $188,000-a-year post. He cut the trip short to return to Hillsdale.
Ronald Trowbridge, the school's vice president for external affairs, said he took the rumors he had heard to Don Mossey, president of the Board of Trustees, and suggested an investigation.
That investigation, conducted by an eight-member committee to the board, led to the leave of absence.
The situation stands in sharp contrast to everything Roche stood for during the 28 years he ran the school. His reputation as a champion of conservative values looms large and Wednesday's announcement left many students and faculty members wondering what was going on.
Yet some lauded the refusal to give out more information, saying it preserves the integrity of the school and shows respect for the institution's and family's right to privacy.
"I think the most important thing about this ...is the values of the college, that they're holding them higher than a single man," said Nathan Hood, 26, a sophomore from Tulsa, Okla.
People in Hillsdale willing to talk to reporters were quick to trumpet how wonderful the college is.
Roche is a national leader in the conservative movement who pushed Hillsdale College into the forefront academically and made it synonymous with conservative family values, a topic on which he's been published extensively.
His impact has been so strong that dignitaries such as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher have been guest speakers at the college.
The Princeton Review Pocket Guide to Colleges has high praise for Hillsdale: The school "offers a truly excellent liberal arts education to about 1,200 students.... The school's Center for Constructive Alternatives has hosted more than 1,000 seminars and is the largest lecture series in higher education."
Hillsdale's advocacy of conservative politics and its fierce resistance to government control have earned the school in south-central Michigan a distinctive niche in higher education.
In 1975, it refused to comply with the federal government's rule that schools receiving federal aid must pledge not to discriminate against women and black people. The school opposed the rule on principle and thus turned down government funding, including virtually all student loans and scholarships.
Yet school officials have always been quick to point out that Hillsdale, which was founded in 1844, always has accepted students regardless of race or sex and was one of the first in the nation to grant degrees to women.
Despite its fame, the school is sometimes an island in a city of 8,170, 120 miles southwest of Detroit.
"I don't know who George Roche is, except that he's the college president," said one woman who is a lifelong Hillsdale resident. "Most people who live here are factory workers and don't have much to do with it."
Others, however, view the school in the light of its national reputation -- a magnet of conservative thought that attracts famous thinkers and faces.
Quilt shop owner Betty White related how, during an attempt to acquire the autograph of a famous conservative speaker, she bumped hard into someone on her way to the podium. She said she turned and saw it was Charlton Heston, actor and National Rifle Association leader.
Admittedly not thinking and slightly flustered, she said she gave her best apology: "Hi, Ben Hur."
Well at least Roche didn't change the name of the school's mascot, didn't change the name of the university, and he didn't cave to political correctness by embracing a misguided Title IX program. He didn't axe 3 men's sports and add 4 or 5 bogus women's sports to conform to liberal's false concept of equality. And, he had to guts to stand up for conservative principles. Anytime you do this, liberals are going to say you are prejudiced against women and minorities even though those charges are false 99% of the time.
Too bad this man suffered a laspe in his moral conduct, but at least he never caved to political correctness. I'd like to know what the deal was with his daughter-in-law. I'd say it's more than time for him to go too.

Do you think he carried a big black Bible like Clinton used to when he went to church? Now that Clinton was a good example of church-goer--that is on the Sundays when Monica wasn't giving him a hum job. Weren't there a couple Sundays when he went to church just after getting serviced?
Don't tell you libs are going to take the moral high ground on church going now. That's definitely not important to most lib/dems.

Thanks for keeping this thread alive. You do a good job at explaining conservative values and priorities. Tell us more about the things that are important to conservatives.

Monica wasn't his son's wife. Clinton wasn't a conservative university president. Thought that's what you were looking for. Just trying to help out.

Ah, the old "Clinton's blowjob trumps all" argument, right on cue. :rolleyes:
Normal person: Bush lied to get us into a war that has needlessly caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Neocon: Oh yeah? Well, Clinton got his knob shined!
I assume that you have committed a sin either before or after attending church. I certainly have. However, unless it is on the scale of schtupping your kin, how about we don't cast the first stone, eh?
Oddball you go to church? I thought only about 8% of important news media people like yourself went to church. You must be the exception. :)
Let's see what were we talking about? Oh yeah Garland at Miami of Ohio. I'm just saying I think he was a liberal whack job. Do you disagree?
