BU turmoil continues: two trustees quit 

This can't be good for business:

Globe: "Two nationally known members of Boston University's board of trustees have resigned amid the crisis gripping the university over whether Daniel S. Goldin will be allowed to take the president's office.

Kenneth Feld, owner of Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus, and Jeffrey Katzenberg, a cofounder of the Hollywood studio DreamWorks SKG, both resigned last week, BU confirmed yesterday..."

The Boston Herald has more, including the fact that it looks like Silber is stepping down regardless of whether Goldin gets in or not.

Score one for the student press: It looks like the DFP had the trustee story first.

DFP columnist Amy Horowitz tells of her chance encounter with Goldin.

The editorial calls the trustee changes "dubious."

130 sign petion to keep Goldin. The petition is here.

Other letters to the editor relating to the situation: "Pride in BU education turning to disgust watching conflict" and "Prof. Iffland should admit biases, Trustees should come clean."
