Disgraced? Please, Rollie as more integrity in his pinkie fingers than Jerry (the cheater) Tarkanian does is his entire body.

Doesn't look good, that's for sure. You put a choke hold on someone, especially someone who is on drugs (legal or illegal) and you just increased the chances that person will die by a factor of about 100. Same thing for tasering a person under those conditions. We're WAY PAST the time for a civilian review board in Las Vegas. Being out of control or resisting arrest are NOT capital crimes in any civilized country though both appear to be so in Las Vegas.

The most important point here (very few who are sentient disagree with the fact that Ashley was quite competent at his job) is how does this firing affect UNLV's status nationally? Does it make it easier to hire good faculty and administrators or harder? Clearly it makes things much more difficult. The fact that Ashley's wife is a bitch should not have been very important, because, well, it clearly isn't. Lots of nice, competent guys are married to bitches.

When will they learn (never is the most likely answer)? IT IS THE HYPOCRISY, STUPID.

Anyone one else seen the parallel between Caribou Barbie's house problems in Alaska and Fat Bob Gilbert's VERY similar problems here in LV? Unfortunately, the state is set to KEEP paying Fat Bob for at least another 6 months, which will make a total of 2 years he and his lackies have been paid to do nothing (other than not rat out CSN admin types).

It's always amazing to me how many Nevadans hate the best senator NV has ever had. He'll win easily in 2010, since as John_A said correctly, the Rethugs here are in such total (and well deserved) disarray. Yes, Harry is dull as dirt and hardly a knee-jerk liberal, but Obama won the state by 12 pts and will campaign HARD here for Harry in 2010.

Judy Stewart is hardly even a qualified FACULTY MEMBER so god forbid she do what Darren Divine did and double her salary by becoming an joining the administration after serving as faculty senate chair. Even the PENTAGON has better rules against this sort of crap......

An idiot like gibbons is what you get when you have an economy that has always depended upon the stupidity of strangers.......ANY state legislator who votes to take one penny from education in this state is one who will NEVER get my vote.

Well, since my first comment got cut by the moderator, I'll try again: for once in my life, I agree with that consummate campus politician, Darren Divine: the Moapa center, and most of the others, SHOULD be cut. They're simply not cost effective when online classes can get the job done just as well, in most, but not all, cases.
The best way for CSN to save REAL money though is to NOT pay people like Dr. Divine TWICE what he was making 3 years ago, simply bc he switched from being a TEACHER to an ADMINISTRATOR! Fewer working hours, more pay, more perks, what a job....

This has to be one of the VERY few times I have to agree with Darren Divine: CSN simply cannot afford to run a thousand satellite campuses all over the state like Moapa Valley which serve only a few dozen students each. Those students can be equally well served by enrolling in the college's vast listing of online courses. Having said that, you lurking campus politicians would do well to follow Divine's path: serve as faculty senate chair, hobnob with the big boys, and you too can double your salary in three years! Who cares about who you ACTUALLY serve if you can increase your bottom line so effortlessly. EVEN the PENTAGON has better rules against switching sides......
