If there ever any doubt about who's running the show at the UI, this story puts that to rest. It states that the advisory committee was put together by "the Univ. of Iowa Athletic Dept." Then later, KF announces that he and he alone has decided to disband the committee.
As Rob states, from an administrative perspective, if you are serious about continued input, you have a replacement plan/structure in place before announcing the dissolving of the committee. Barta should have prevented KF from disbanding the committee until the new plan was ready to launch. But I guess we know what type of administrator-not Barta is, which brings us back to the first sentence...
Talk about putting fuel on the the fire of the pending lawsuit.
When Kirk is feeling confident, he can do really stupid things.
