DFP: Trustees reconsider Goldin
"A group of faculty members is pushing faculty, students, alumni and staff to sign a petition rebuking the Boston University Board of Trustees Executive Committee’s Friday decision to consider rescinding its offer of the presidency to Daniel S. Goldin.
The petition, which will be released online today, expresses 'deep concern' with the Executive Committee’s recommendation that the board go back on its offer and urges the board to “honor its commitment” by installing him Nov. 1, as planned..."
NYTIMES (r.r.): Professor Iffland, a longtime critic of Dr. Silber's and the former chairman of the faculty council, started a petition drive on Monday to urge the trustees to keep Mr. Goldin. If the board approves the recommendation of the executive committee, the petition says, "Irrevocable damage will be done to Boston University's standing in the academic world."
"It would be very difficult to find another institution where something like this would happen," Professor Iffland said. "Unfortunately, this is classic B.U. This is just one in a very long string of crises of this type, many of them comical, stretching back over 33 years."
Iffland also has a letter to the editor in the DFP.
Following all the articles on Saturday and Sunday.
The DFP editorial takes the trustees to task over changing their minds.
And adjunct faculty member tells of a story almost similiar to the one being written about now.
