Faculty Senate Ad Hoc Committee to meet Tuesday

The Joplin Globe reports the Faculty Senate ad hoc committee is in place and will begin exploring a no-confidence vote in Missouri Southern State University President Bruce Speck Tuesday:

Speck also will be afforded an opportunity to respond to any concerns raised by that committee before any full-faculty election would be called, faculty senate President Roger Chelf said Saturday.

The Globe, citing faculty senate secretary Gerald Schlink, had reported that the faculty senate was still awaiting volunteers for the committee as of Friday and that the committee was substantially short of being in place.

But Chelf, who has actually been assembling the ad hoc committee, on Saturday said he had originally envisioned the panel would consist of seven to eight tenured faculty members. He said that the committee already has seven members: Chelf himself, Linda Hand, Casey Cole, Scott Cragin, Stephen Schiavo, Richard Spencer and Danny Overdeer.

The AdHoc committee needs to look into and detail how the board chair instructed Bruce, Teri and her accounting staff to first save 500 thousand and then build the cash reserves to 13 million. They used Leon as a scapegoat by claiming deficit spending by him but never did give a reasonable explanation of finances and depreciation. One of the first actions by the slash team was to decimate the international programs (Leon's baby as they say). When they got heavy backlash from the students and faculty, vindictive Bruce began to portray the travel programs as "tourism in disguise" for faculty and students and in general to discredit the international mission.
We need to demand an independent audit of the finances for the two major construction projects Studnet Rec Center and Health Sciences. Money available vs. bid and what is being done with the millions left over. The same with the Nodler pork and presumed "storm shelter" that misteriously becomes an indoor football.
practice facility.
That should give the committee a good start...

The Ad Hoc Committee should meet to impeach Senate President Roger Chelf. He is in for a personal vendeta, and is a nut job.

Anonymous 7:11 is really Mr. Dwight Douglas.

If you look in the dictionary under "nut job," you will find Dwight Douglas, Bruce Speck, and Gary Nodler.
