    With an independent college like Marietta, he doesn't have to act like a little brother at the regents' table. Sounds like he may not have liked getting shot down just for advocating for UNI according to the facts.

    Anybody there to hear him speak to the UNI faculty? The paper talked about him being asked by regents to take slides out of presentations. I'd love to know what was in those slides!

      He will assume his new duties on July 3 if approved at the upcoming Board of Regents meeting.

        News about July 3 . . . reported on July 21?

        Or is this just a quote to show that he was planning to start at Marietta on July 3?

            UNI Professor Chris Martin took aim at the BoR, citing the non-renewal of Ruud's contract among many claims of a lack of accountability for the Board.

            Martin's opinion piece appears in the DMR from last week:

            When former University of Northern Iowa president Bill Ruud announced he was leaving, Iowa Board of Regents president Bruce Rastetter praised him for “great progress” and leaving “UNI in a stronger position than when he arrived.”
            "Well, that escalated quickly."

              Well it's fairly obvious that Branstad isn't going to step on Rastetter's toes anytime soon, so as an honest question, what can people do about this? Is the Iowa Senate the only entity that has the power to actually investigate the BOR and help fix these issues?

                This is starting to feel stranger and stranger as it's gone on.

                Yes, there were "working issues" with Ruud and he wasn't overly professional but even with that the more that comes out the more it smells. Especially with everything else that's been going on with the BOR

                  Rudd has said that he didn't want to leave in conversations with people I know. I think this is more than a mutual parting of the ways...

                    Some of Professor Martin's points are valid and well reasoned. Some are no more than political sour grapes.

                      Hmmm. A faculty member complaining about the regents. How unusual!

                        It certainly wasn't mutual if he didn't want to leave.
