He's the Regents' butt-boy and that's why he still has his job. I was in attendance at UGA Grad school when he received a no-confidence vote from the Franklin College Senate. I was at the homecoming game against Vandy in 2003 when he got booed so loudly in the student section you couldn't hear the Redcoat Band. I was one of the many students who got short-changed when he used $100,000 worth of University money (per year!) to hire a useless "liason" to the Athens-Clarke County Gov't and then jacked up the price of tuition while at the same time cutting loose a tenth of the non-tenured faculty, firing my building's head custodian, Forrest, and forcing him to work at Wal-Mart.
One time I saw him and his family, clad head-to-toe in furs, shopping at Winn-Dixie across from the Athens Country Club. I had to fight the urge to stab him with a carrot in the produce section.
