Court staffer suspended over Kline tweets

What's amazing is the Judicial system protects its own. When Schafer and another attorney who worked for the state were reported for lies, the Judicial review board ignored the complaint and let lies stand. No review ever took place.

Kline was too high profile for them to ignore. Snakes all...

Court staffer suspended over Kline tweets

The big leagues used to be able to make it up and float it with impunity. With internet social media, it is nice to see someone who bucks the big leagues and goes with giving the rest of the public a little idea of the goings on. Describing Kiline in an unflattering way isn't a sport, it's what Herr saw. I like it in that she spoke her mind.

Remember how many politicos like Kline leak their agenda to the world. Those leaks affect lives...her tweet isn't going to make Kline's case go away for him. He's already cooked his goose overdone.

Kline abused his power, and got caught. As a politician, I already know he's probably a liar. Most of them are.

Kansas politicians should take note that they are NOT the conscience of all people. These extremists are making Kansas the laughing stock of not only the nation, but the world.

As an employee of the court she may have crossed the line. I for one want to see CSPAN in all the courts. Judges and lawyers are too protected. Judges should not be appointed for life. I know of a case where Elsbeth Schafer, a Topeka judge flat out lied in decisions to sway to the State's point of view.

Lawyers and judges are NOT perfect, and need monitoring just like the other brances of government.

University initiatives will involve cutbacks in personnel, provost says

I cannot forget Vitter's comment about the School of Business's $32,000,000.00 questionable usage of money as being like Ivory Soap. 99.9% pure. Sorry, I don't buy it. The trust KU has lost still exists at KU since some of the players are still there.

The School of Business mended their ways, and I love the new Dean. Outstanding choice as I hear it.

But there is a culture of vultures at KU.

A certified audit of every $ flowing in and through KU/KUCR/KU Athletics and whatever else KU is connected with would be fruitful to determine just what the cash flow of this "Public" institution is.

To this, we have KU HREO's Allen Humphrey. Humphrey will only parrot what he's been told to say. This makes him the perfect HR parrot for Jeff Vitter. In the background, KU Legal boy's and girl's all making sure no matter how much they decide to bully employees and the town itself, they can hide behind the 11th Amendment Sovereignty Rights of States. As such, KU creates its own truth very often to look just right. You know, 99.9% pure.

KU alumna chosen as new dean of School of Business

Oh yeah...the 3 posts. RustWatcher was created to answer this thread.

As to flinging mud, I agree, some of it might be flinging mud. But the core truth is, they broke a trust. If these people who are supposed to know accounting and accountability, were running a trust fund without following the rules, they might be guilty of fraud.

These fund were collected and put into the hands of the State of Kansas. They were supposed to have a "trust" committee making decisions on the use of the funds.

They SOB broke that trust, and as an agency of the State of Kansas, they don't look squeaky clean. Do you get it, Professor?

You are naive. Sorry, but BKD is part of the SOB's country club.

Funds should have been allocated with the concurrence of students. BKD and KU has decorated the truth to say the monies were spent in appropriate ways. If the students didn't have a say, it was inappropriate.

It was amusing that the MBA students brought the complaint.

I have no problem with the new Dean. I wish her well, but the salary is absurd, the school has a smudged record, the current Dean and his administration ignored the rules about the usage of funds. Elimination of the student involvement was an action taken with purpose.

Even if it was used for appropriate and good reasons, they were operating outside of the rules established for the funds.

Do you think $32,000,000 is chump change? It is a lot of money. Graphs, and fancy expensive CPA reports can be had easier that you might want to believe. The students were denied their due process.

I want KU to move ahead with integrity. A CPA's report doesn't give that to KU. They have to clean house of the offenders. Perkins was removed. Why not Fuerst?

The SOB absconded with $32,000,000.00.

Perkins lost ...let's see:
over $1,000,000 legal fees to put a T-shirt shop out of business
$3,000,000 tickets lost
Just a mere 4,000,000 cost to KU.

SOB WINS

It's more than just Fuerst and Chauvin. They removed the ability to track funds of all kinds within the school. They dumbed down their accounting in more than one way to be able to say..."we can't keep records at the detail level of what a donor's money was spent on...a fund of any kind for that matter."

The bigger picture: KU was amazing at putting a T-Shirt shop out of business while losing track of so many millions in the houses where some of the highest paid "managers" in Kansas.

Fuerst belongs with the Blugaugh's!

Just amazing. She just wants to look ahead. $32,000,000.00 mis-allocated. Yes Mr. Vitter, it was mis-allocated if there was supposed to be student decision making in the process.

Its called embezzling in some circles. However, anywhere that thinks Kris Kobach is "featured" speaker is out of touch with the truth anyway.

I wish her well, but her FIRST move should be to get rid of Feurst and all the cronies in the School's administration who cannot seem to get their accounting right.
