Sunday Breakdown: BU President Goldin in trouble, power struggle with trustees
Power struggle over presidency at BU, reports the Globe. Former NASA administrator Dan Goldin looks to be in deep trouble:
"It's like the night before the wedding, you decide you don't want to get married to that person," the trustee said. "Are you better off going through with it because you made all the preparations, or are you better off saying, 'Whoops, we made a mistake?'"Boston Herald plays catch-up. And AP.
One interesting thing to note: if the trustees do succeed in ousting Goldin, what kind of effect would that have on the future searches for another president?

Obit: Rusty Simonds, UMass Boston professor. This will probably be The Mass Media's top story this week. He was my advisor. I switched over to him after he substituted a 101 class one morning freshman year. I didn't know very well, but he was really cool guy, and just from that one class, you could tell he was a fantastic professor.
I spoke with him on Friday, as he was on his way out to go to the doctor's; we were joking around, he asked how were things going at the Mass Media, etc. When I came into the newsroom Tuesday morning and was told that he had passed away, it was total shock. He was one of those guys you expected to be around forever, you know?
