This reminds me of another on or near campus business brouhaha, in the northeast I think, where the son of the owner of a legendary university focused business confronted some students on a lark stealing some wine or something. University students and professors lined up and threw progressive nonsense at the family that had owned the business for generations and ruined them. It was quite a story. The death of our universities has monumental downstream effects, and tragic human consequences large and small. This UVM leadership triumvirate should be held at arms length by all, like a leaking bag of excrement being carried to the trash can.

From your reporting, bringing her team of those involved in the case looks pretty unusual and would think concerning to the UVM board. The president's position seems to be almost a revolving door at UVM, which is concerning in itself. Adding this uncertainty of the executive staff from Boise State bears close scrutiny.

Thank you for reporting on this matter. First amendment retaliation is real and I should know this is my story.

President Tromp also secretly recorded a conversation with me that is missing several minutes in the beginning again another crucial point in the conversation. This is not about an administration that was under fire from a conservative legislature- that backlash started after these actions came to light. Several other employees have left some with pay outs and non disclosure agreements. There is another pending tort claim from the previous Alumni Association Director, Lisa Gardner for $2.5 million all under this trio.
