BOG Meets on Garrison
The WV Board of Governors met today in a closed session to discuss Garrison.
No decision was made in the three hour meeting.
The reporters asked several of the BOB members questions after the meeting, and I was amused by one response.
When asked if the discussion involved Garrison, (Steve Goodwin) said, “I don’t think it takes too much imagination.”
I also heard that when Garrison made several unannounced appearances at graduation ceremonies across campus, there were graduates who refused to shake hands with him, as well as a rumor that some faculty members who spoke out against Garrison have had their offices moved, however, that is just a rumor.
It astounds me that in the face of all of this, including two votes of no confidence, Garrison can continue to act as if nothing is wrong, and as if his continued presence was not only a hindrance to the functioning of the university, but an embarrassment to the state.
