| DARRELL'S WORST MOMENTS NOT EASY BEING WIZOO'S PRESIDENT |
| Applying to be president of a teeny Colorado college without telling anyone at Winona State and then having the Associated Press report it and then not getting the job. Mandating frosh buy or lease personal computers within a year, then backing off when profs and students pointed out impracticalities, including inadequate campus infrastructure. Letting chief lieutenant Gary Evans loose with a proposal that budget-strapped Wizoo build a $2 million sports dome Demoting rather than firing an assistant vice president who embezzled $10,000 in athletic scholarships. Falling for a software vendor's pitch that CD-ROM resumes would help students get jobs, when employers still find glancing through paper resumes lots more efficient. The boondoggle's cost: $250,000. Raiding the library book acquisition budget almost to zero. Talk about dubious priorities. Promoting loyal lieutenant Gary Evans to university vice presidency despite his lack of college degree. Saying campus civility was more important than free expression, a position he later recanted. Quietly slipping veep Gary Evans an 11.2 percent raise, far more than anybody else, only to take it back after student journalists got wind of it. Buying Lourdes Hall at the old College of St. Teresa, 1-1/2 miles away, for his fuzzy residential college concept, at a time when Wizoo was flat broke. |
