1. The corruption of the CSN administration is well document throughout the local newspapers. Check all these NEW posters in this thread, CSN high pay administrators, who argued the AG raid of the CSN campus was simply a search warrant (that's RAID!), and Bob Gilbert's home was not raid (how do you call AG's searching his house for 36 hours?). The general public should know how pathetic the CSN administration is, and why we are all for CLEAN HOUSE.
2. The CSN administration shut down the everyone@csn.edu, the open forum that none of the previous administration had problem with. In other words, none of the previous administration had problem with employees' First Amendment Rights.
3. Richard Carpenter had Mike Richards call Tom Meyers, department chair of Media Technology at CSN, and told Tom Meyers that Tom had to step down, because Tom talked with Christina Littlefield at the SUN. The 2 letters Tom sent to his department were shown in the blog in their entirety. ACLU stepped in due to the CSN's violation of Tom's First Amendment Rights, and Tom was reinstated.
4. KC Howard from the Review Journal reported the financial mismanagement of Paul Pate at the Automotive department and the abrupt outsourcing of the IT department. What did CSN respond? Promoting Paul Pate, and hiring KC Howard as the CSN's public relation.
This CSN administration is widely deemed as unfit working for any institution in the higher education.
Dear Charlotte,
I believe there are serious topics for you to pursue at CSN. The sudden and urgent departure of Richard Carpenter, the questinable or non-existent credentials of Mike Richards, the inexplicable return of Bob Gilbert, the undeserved faculty killer, I mean, leader, husband, and wife sabbaticals that cost taxpayer over $100k, the closing of satellite centers that each only needed $50k to stay alive, and the unfair hiring practices.
I couldn't help notice that you didn't cast positive light on Professor Sherry Rosenthal who deserves a standing ovation. Speaking of which, because the blog commentors have suggested to give Professor Rosenthal a standing ovation, CSN administration decided, for the first time, for as far as I could remember, to call the award receipents' names, and have them stand where they were, instead of having them come up to the stage. It is not coincident. It is our narrow-minded administration that lies about not reading the blog, yet glues to the blog, and takes preventive actions to stop people showing admiration toward Professor Rosenthal.
Professor Rosenthal has every right to delete any and all comments coming her way. It is her blog. If the administrators don't understand how a blog works by now, may be they should stay away from the blog. She lets an amazing amount of Schleppy Rosenpants comments go through, why should she? We are disgusted by those administrators' comments and wish she wouldn't let anyone through.
If the administration has so much problem with Professor Rosenthal's moderation of her own blog, then go ahead return CSN's previous everyone@csn.edu to us. Hello? Anyone home? Suddenly all CSN administration gets quiet. I wonder why?
Dear Ms. Emily, this report is inaccurate. As a spouse to an anxious teacher-to-be (my wife is resuming teaching after a 2-yr hiatus), I talked with CCSD contracting on Wednesday afternoon, and was told the hold was still there, no different than before.
Before, it was only Math, Science, and Special Ed teachers receive contract. It still is, after the report came out.
Harry Reid is an old wrinkled prune that has an overall negative world view toward everything. There is nothing that comes out of his mouth that's not attacking someone or dissing something. Ask yourself, do we want this guy for our state and our nation? Isn't the Reid dynasty getting out of control in Nevada? Is Tessa Hafen riding too much on his coattail? She got a cushy DIRECTOR job at UNLV with a measly Bachelor's degree, barely equal to the students there, but is in charge of well educated faculty and staff. Harry Reid should have and could have negotiated for Nevada to receive a nice compensation for Yucca, yet his negativity caused his endless attacks to the National Security that got us no where. We receive no help with the rising gas price or collapsing housing market. Right now, CCSD has a hold on issuing contracts to new teachers, and is Harry Reid working on it? No. Should he be? You betya. If Harry Reid doesn't start speaking for us and our hardship in Nevada, he should not be representing us in Nevada.
I forgot to mention. You have to click on the title, to see the comments of that thread.
Good comments there:

Jim Rogers needs to STOP trying to buy influence. Minority Chambers of Commerce, don't buy those $500/seat dinner, just because you don't get your salad and sandwich. Do it because you want to do it.
I, too, want to set the record straight that Judy Stewart does not speak for me when she claimed that Mike Richards receives broad support. I know a lot of people at CSN, faculty and staff, I have not found one person that supports Mike Richards. Not one person agreed with the fast one the Regents have pulled. Our faculty representation has drifted further and further away from their mission.

All these bogus NEW posters that came out of the woodwork could be 1 CSN administrator, and pretending to ask other alter egos questions.
It is bewildering anyone has to ask what Professor Rosenthal has posted. All articles are right there in the blog. She has never hidden her name or identity. Her First Amendment Rights, like everyone else's, are protected under the US Constitution, something the CSN administration knows nothing about.
I posted the Regents' contact information before. I will post it again here. Why wait for "a few weeks" since you already received "excellent information"? Contact them now! Have them decide if fat should be trimmed from this CSN TOP HEAVY administration during Nevada's budget crisis. We are sick and tired of the CSN administration's public threats and intimidation, toward the CSN faculty, staff and the Nevada general public. Contact the Board of Regents by the end of tomorrow, 5 pm on August 25 with your "excellent information". We are all right here waiting to hear from you!
