Sorry, missed a typo!! Sherry will be crowned the ANGEL of the People!

I've been a tenured professor since CSN was CCCC.

I would like to respond to hanzuker's comments, point by point.

Part 3:

5. What relevance Rosenthal's salary is, is beyond me. But let's run with that, hanzucker. In the same vein of thought, administrators have well into 6-figure salaries, live in nice homes, drive nice cars, have health insurance, work from home whenever they want to, and have very nice futures, too. Not to mention all the perks they receive that faculty members do not. They have what 99.99+% of the population of the United States does not have, yet they still steal from public taxpayer funds. Your point, hanzucker?

6. Professor Sherry Rosenthal is probably the BEST example of someone who is trying to "out" the wrongs being committed at the college. By compelling these people to be held accountable for their actions, she IS helping the college.

Your statement

"Instead of meeting with CSN administrators, discussing, and offering suggestions... If she wanted to help, she would be at meetings, and asking for meetings, and suggesting."

leads me to believe you are unbelievably naive, or just flat out stupid.

Sherry HAS gone to meetings. She did a nice job grilling Mike Richards when he was lobbying for the president's position (illegally, I might add, since he had signed an agreement saying he would not pursue the permanent position). When asked why he wanted the permanent president's position, Mike Richard's replied, "Well...I have a deep mortgage." I'm paraphrasing a bit here, but that is almost exactly what he said. Does that sound like a good reason to become a permanent president of a college?

She does not ambush, and she does not caste hate. She DOES try to bring the truth to light. If that makes you feel ambushed, then my guess is you've been milking the system for a long time and you don't like it that someone is now calling you on the carpet about it.

Without people like Professor Sherry Rosenthal, the wide-spread misconduct of those in power at CSN would go unchecked for an eternity. When the truth comes out from the AG's investigation, Professor Sherry Rosenthal will be crowned the Angle of the People.

You wait, watch, and see, Pal.

Part 2:

2. Any CSN employee that was "driven" to an attorney to seek special protection for their families was a pure out-and-out propaganda move. They did not like comments being made about them. This does not mean the comments weren't true. The truth hurts. Seeking an attorney was a melodramatic action on behalf of melodramatic persons to shift the focus away from them.

More harm has come to the employees of CSN and the Las Vegas community by way of administrative misconduct than the blog.

3. What proof of anything you said in #3 do you have? Are you administrating the blog? No. You are not.

4. The 200 hits a day Rosenthal claims are true. Unfortunately, she must weed through them and delete the long, rambling, nonsensical posts being posted by those trying to deflect the importance of the other posts. To quote YOU, hanzucker, "Anyone who has read the blog has seen it."

If, as in other comments here where people are concerned that professors have too much time on their hands to run a blog, then you should consider these multiple, long, obnoxious posts being made by administration. If instructors have too much time on their hands to run a blog, then what does that say about the administrators and the time they have on their hands?!?

I would like to respond to hanzuker's comments, point by point.

Part 1:

1. Neither Rosenthal's blog nor the older Richard Carpenter Watch blog has or had any death threats in it. The one comment that was blown completely out of proportion and "branded" as a death threat was simply a joke, albeit a sarcastic joke, but a joke nonetheless. CSN administration ruthlessly trumped up this one comment and used it in order to harass a faculty member whom the VP of Finance does not like.

Allegations of sexual misconduct is a valid concern for all employees of the college, the students, and the community at large. When sexual misconduct occurs, let's say, as in the Clinton Administration or in Senator Edwards administration, or in any number of other community public leaders administrations, it should be investigated. The integrity of these people is important, and if their integrity is less than desirable, they need not be in positions of authority.

When one has personal knowledge of sexual misconduct in the workplace, it's not so easy to come out and talk about it or request meetings - not unless you plan on being fired. Sometimes the only way to pull this information to the fore front of public awareness is to do so anonymously. By the way, is "hanzucker" your real name?

Allegations of stealing public resources are more than just mere allegations. If this were not so, there would have been no reason for armed Marshalls from the AG's office to have raided the computers and offices of Patty Charlton and Bob Gilbert - and Bob Gilbert's home. The AG does not conduct investigations based on half baked allegations alone. I find it interesting how you managed to leave this important fact out of your diatribe.

Since the AG's investigation is still ongoing, we must wait to see just how much misconduct has gone on via the Office of Finance.

Personal vendettas are common amongst CSN administrators. If you get on the wrong side of one of them, you will surely be pushed out of your job. The "personal vendettas" that you, hanzucker, accuse the blog of pale dramatically in the face of the personal vendettas carried out by school officials on a daily basis.
