Just ask him if he's going to be there, and smile while you do it.

Seriously, someone who's going to be there needs to ask this.

I agree. We need people to email faculty senate members and get them to ask this question.

Doubt Watts will take any questions from audience members.

So this guy owns an advertising company that has offices in Tuscaloosa & Huntsville. http://totalcommarketing.com/contact-us/

Does he run the letters between Bill Battle & Tommy Battle?

I would be interested hearing him explain how he there are still miscommunications at this point. You would think that since he is being so open and transparent, there would be no more miscommunications, yet there is a new one every single day.

Evidently if a university will pay their fees, they will let it keep its accreditation.

Let's not make this philosophical, OK?

Per Dr. Epps, Direct Communications has been placed on retainer. Cost for the first quarter was $90k.

Need to start keep ng tabs on how much money is being wasted on PR

90K to read dumb comments by the likes of "Cows R Us???"

This message board helps pay the salaries of DirectComm lackeys. So, ipso facto, I'm your boss.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does placed on retainer mean?

In this case, it's like paying the Fire Department to stand by in case the house catches on fire.

So 360,000 to prop up a president that no one has confidence in at UAB. Great fiscal responsibility there.

Anything else happen at the meeting?

Thanks

Watts gave his PR spiel, answered 1 question, then left.

Is this act finally starting to piss everybody off?

I really want someone to tell him that the $90k he is spending on pr is money that could be spent curing cancer.
