Dear Visionaries,
Although President Hoover may be a fine fellow on a personal level, what=20
concrete accomplishments has he initiated that actually benefited UI=20
students, staff, or faculty during his tenure? As a retired UI employee I=20
can think of precious few. On the negative side, the number of Vice=20
Presidents and senior hierarchy (with huge salaries) increased, academic=20
programs were eliminated, and class size grew. =E2=80=A6 while the Boise *fr=
aud* was=20
being funded behind the scenes. UI continues to pay a larger salary to the=20
football coach than to most (if not all) of the faculty. Little effort has=20
been made to provide educational outreach to working people who are unable t=
o=20
attend daytime classes but could attend evening lectures. The LMT articles=20
on the debacle of the Boise Center illustrate a grave failure of judgment,=20
and frankly, a woeful lack of integrity, among several senior UI bureaucrats=
,=20
including the president. I wonder why the State Board would accept Presiden=
t=20
Hoover's resignation while allowing Acting President Pitcher, who was well=20
aware of the questionable accounting issues, to continue in his present role=
.=20
