Since you're such a great journalist, why don't you become one? I'm sure the Scene would love a writer who trusts .22 seconds of internet research rather than hours and days of actual research, interviews, critical thought, etc.

      <![CDATA[To clear it up:  I'm not wrong. I've not suggested anything other than 1) Betsy was wrong in her comment about her being Provost for years and 2) the timing of her stepping down seems to coincide--at least with a small bit of research--with the timeline otherwise described in the original blog post, suggesting that there might be a relationship between the Provost taking on a faculty job and the Dean rescinding an offer to a new hire for the same position.

This was the result of a google search that took me, according to google, .06 seconds:<br>
<a href="http://forum.belmont.edu/umac/archives/012209.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://forum.belmont.edu/umac/archives/012&hellip;</a><br>
<br>
Here's what you stated in your comment:  "She'd been Provost for many years." <br>
<br>
Again, this is the problem with blogs-posing-as-journalism.

      <![CDATA[Here's the problems with blogs-posing-as-journalism: a minor amount of reporting would confirm that yes, indeed, what the Dean reported in his statement was true: Provost Marcia McDonald stepped down after a year in office, and returned to her full-time faculty position teaching Shakespeare. The economy is crap, and even schools like Belmont happily struggle with flat budgets.

If a university isn't good enough to live by its principles, it's hardly an institution of learning.
