Watts Letter to UAB Community - Blazer85 - 12-09-2014 02:29 PM Much like that to Faculty Senate... Quote:I know that the last week has been difficult for everyone in the UAB community. I deeply regret that we did not handle our recent athletic department announcement better and that there was a breakdown in communication during that process. I know that many of you have strong feelings about the decision, the way we arrived at it and the way I communicated it with you. RE: Watts Letter to UAB Community - hooverblazer - 12-09-2014 02:29 PM Too little, too late. This all should have occurred on the front end if he really cared.

The students, alumni, and faculty have united like never before and displayed exemplary solidarity. Keep up the good fight, because this is democracy vs tyranny. Best of luck, Blazers! #FreeUAB RE: Watts Letter to UAB Community - blazerman2006 - 12-09-2014 03:17 PM Compare this statement to the one that was read at the Faculty Senate meeting. Any references to "mistakes" his statement "the buck stops with me" has been removed. Someone from the university PR department got their hands on his original statement. He has now backtracked again. The longer this goes on, the deeper his hole gets. We don't have to do anything. He's digging his own grave.

The more we press the faster this is over RE: Watts Letter to UAB Community - STLouis Blazer - 12-09-2014 03:35 PM Does anyone have a good picture of this letter?

RE: Watts Letter to UAB Community - iam4uab - 12-09-2014 04:09 PM I used this opportunity to shoot off a quick email to rlwatts@uab.edu Quote:Dr. Watts, I know many of you will say it much better than I have.
