By the way, the CSN administration does not read the blog, just like the AG did not raid the CSN campus, and the CSN administration did not take away everyone@csn.edu to silence an open forum, and the CSN administrators are not criminals. Sure. Sure.

Part II

Focusing on students for a change? What exactly this blog has been saying to the Mike Richards administration. Don't close the remote learning centers for a measly $50k, don't spend money on Las Vegas Hilton convocation that costs $50k for no good reason, don't give the faculty leader and his wife sabbaticals to waste over $100k for taxpayers, and how many comments suggest that they would give up 4%, merit increase, and $200, to save other colleagues' job? Those comments in the blog are truly regarding students our first priority.

Mike Richards' going back on his words of not pursuing the CSN's president's position, fighting the objection, accepting an undeserved $50k 2 weeks after he was hired, and closing those satellite centers that already ran on shoestring budgets...tell me which one demonstrates "Student First". Oh, maybe messing up with Professor Rosenthal's "ratemyprofessors.com" approval rating is out of the concern of our students? How so? Misleading students by smearing a well-respected professor is a serious offense of code of ethics, not "student first".

Of course the CSN administration will never understand why they are so hated by the CSN employees and the general public. The only time they are sorry is when they are caught. They are sorry for being caught, not what they did. That's why they are hardened criminals and must be put away. We are patiently waiting for AG's investigation. We firmly believe justice will be served.

Part I

Old_Timer, I was going to dispute hanzucker's arguments, point by point, but you beat me to it, and did a fantastic job, better than I could ever do. Thank you!

Maziege,

Farah never claimed that she surveyed any departments. She clearly stated, "everyone I know at CSN". It's good enough for me that she based her jugdement by people she knew, than people she imagined. On the other hand, you claimed your department wanted to quietly work, then how come they "openly discussed their dismay at the blog"? The blog is very clear about the dissatisfaction toward the CSN's administration's corruption, the lying, cheating, stealing, and sexual misconduts. Your department condones all that? They couldn't stand a blog, but wanted to quietly sweep the wrongdoing under the carpet? How contradictory?

I have friendship with a good many people in different departments and have never heard of such conflicts of personalities, that they want to quietly work, yet "openly" express their dismay toward a blog? Next time you make something up, would you consider getting the logic right? What department is this? CSN administration?

You asserted, "It just isn’t true that everyone supports Rosenthal or this blog". Of course not. Not those administrators whose wrongdoing was so overwhelming that caused the first raid from Nevada AG in any NSHE institutions, colleges or universities. But gosh, we are not counting the criminals, when Farah said Professor Rosenthal is our hero. Farah also clearly said everyone she knows supports Professor Rosenthal. Apparently Farah is like the rest of us, who stay with friends who have integrity. She didn't befriend the corrupt administrators. Is that her fault? I say she is one smart girl!

Further, you said, "the number of bloggers who are creating this mess is very small". These sounds extremely familiar. It's already being pointed out by the shrewd observers that the administration had claimed 6, a dozen, or "3 or 4", people that were working on this blog. So you wish. So you couldn't believe it receives 200 hits and call it a lie. What's your evidence it's a lie?

You said the blog commentors are "mostly old timers who want to go back 3 or 6 or 10 years and punish someone for what happened back then. Can’t we focus on students for a change?" You need to read the mission statement. The focus is Richard Carpenter's wrongdoing, and his leftover cronies' wrongdoing, and the lingering illegal practices. Carpenter arrived 4 years ago, the CSN problems started then. No need to divert people's attention to 3 or 6 or 10 years ago, like your imagined blogger number of 6, a dozen, and 3 or 4.
