First of all she took her time in responding to the FOIA request saying it was a personal matter.

She says she has taken personal responsibility for her actions which honestly are not defensible. Her letter back to the Regents could be interpeted as someone in denial.

She doesn't think her drinking is a serious problem. Apparently the Regents feel otherwise.

While I support Dr. Martin and hope it all works out, she put herself in the current situation she is in by her conduct. If someone is out to get her as some of you suggest then she played right into their hands.

I honestly believe Dr. Martin wouldn't have a problem with some of what I wrote here.

Can you provide a link to it...

Link to EA3' dirty laundry?

LOL....thank goodness I'm not important enough to be newsworthy.

Here's the Detroit Free Press article I am referring to:

The signees of the letter were of the executive committee.

I'd assume, as such, they signed for the entire board.

The tone of the May 17 letter from the Board of Regents to Martin was clear: "You must deal with this issue immediately. If there are any further incidents, you will leave us no alternative but to recommend to the board that your employment be terminated for just cause," the letter said. It was signed by Regents Roy Wilbanks, Francine Parker and Mike Morris, who make up the board's executive committee.

BTW, I thought, for about 2 seconds of attending the event where the incident later occurred.

I think I attended one such event. It would have been with Dr. Shelton was in D.C. for a similar conference. This was probably the late 90s or early 2000s, I'd guess.

I don't see anything positive coming from this... I did notices that Dr. Sue Martin contact is up in Judy of 2013. Isn't this the same time the contract for the current AD and Coach English ends? Makes you wonder...

Pretty clear Wilbanks is behind this. He's power hungry - always has been - and plays dirty pool.

Think he wouldn't like to be interim president?

Wilbanks was my first thought as well.
