Perhaps he was becoming fatigued, but I was concerned that he was unhinged toward the end, drawing into question the logic and strategy of his actions. <br /><br />The whole thing didn't strike me as careful and calculated, which is out of character.

In tone, I thought Poshard's performance was less unhinged than the media accounts had led me to believe. He was angry, but pretty much in control of himself, and if he accurately described Herrin's andDave Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100006856645294730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492014659405332380.post-68136089586086891682012-03-29T00:21:07.647-05:002012-03-29T00:21:07.647-05:00Oh, I think you hit the top ten, all right.Oh, I think you hit the top ten, all right.Patrick Dilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907686980479319760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492014659405332380.post-55059318660568581932012-03-28T23:42:10.112-05:002012-03-28T23:42:10.112-05:00Quick analysis of Poshard’s record and his Legacy ...Quick analysis of Poshard’s record and his Legacy for SIUC:<br /><br />1.

Tell me he didn't just read from the self-study report. Tell me he didn't have the gall to imply that he was an expert in higher education. Tell me he didn't say the accreditation report said that new leadership was needed.

Once he leaves, a clause should be inserted into SIUC's hiring policies banning any current or former politician applying for the post.

The evidence may be sound, but the optics on this are horrible. From a public communication perspective, this press briefing would have been much better as a brief statement.
