This Battle is NOT Over

Ryan
9:16pm November 5th
Hey Jill I just wanted to tell you that I will not be going to the Board of Trustees meeting this Thursday at Carbondale. I have been following the Poshard Scandal since the beginning in September. I spoke out at the last Board of Trustees in Sept when they were in Evergreen Hall and at the Student Senate meeting and at the Faculty Senate Meeting Im just real tired of this BS and I want it to be over with. I encourage you to keep this momentum going when you go to the meeting with your friends but its over for me so I am glad to pass the Torch to you. Im so glad that there are other kids on this campus that care about this issue and even better that you and your friends are freshman so good luck this Thursday let me know how it goes you can call me on my cell to let me know what happens the # is 555-555-5555[number has been changed for Ryans privacy] also if you want to speak at the meeting call the Secretary asap and get your name and your friends on the list or they wont let you speak the # is 618-536-3357

Today at 4:44pm
I will not be going to Carbonadale either, I would love to still be able to go but I am very sick and have been dragging myself to class even though I feel totally rotten and miserable.. but this battle against plagiarism will not be over until a.)Poshard decides to be a man and take full responsibility for his actions and resign or b.)a revised policy about plagiarism is issued stating a student will not be failed or expelled upon first account of plagiarism. I believe this is setting a double standard, if Poshard can get away with plagiarism and is only told to correct his mistakes without facing any other consequences, students have this same right. Its not saying we as students have the right to plagiarize, just saying if the same situation arose with a student within the SIU system they should be able to have a 2nd chance before facing a harsher consequence. I do not believe anyone else from my class is still planning to go due to gas prices and some kids do not have cars with them here on campus. I just wish people would get smarter and get Poshard out of office or change the plagiarism policy to make things fair.

How would Poshard's resignation fix the problem with those responsible for this? Look at the big picture people. Poshard was the student, he was not affiliated with the administration and faculty which allowed this 24 years ago. If you want to fight the fight, go after the BOT, the Department of Education, the Graduate School, and those who served on the review committee and dissertation committee.

Why is Poshard singled out for accountability in a society where it is obvious we have absolutely no accountability at all? If you want to hold Poshard to this lofty standard, why not hold everyone to the same standard? What about the people that did this to the university? The original committee, the Graduate School, the Department of Education, the new committee, AFAC, and the BOT? If you are so keen on what is morally right, why don't you go after the source of the indiscretion, not the scapegoat.

Poshard did not approve his dissertation. He did not appoint a review committee, he did not choose the BOT, he did not have a capacity in the Graduate School or Department of Education. He was simply a student. If this is such a black eye to the university, then go after everyone who allowed it to happen, not the person who allegedly did it. All the resignation of Poshard will accomplish is nothing....other than make some professors with delusions of grandeur happy sitting in their ivory towers. Maybe they know exactly what they are doing. By focusing on Poshard (the student) they take the focus of the failure of academe which allowed us to get to this point in the first place.

It is the fault of the institution, not of a lone gunman.

Your calls for accountability may be justified if you were calling for the head of the monster that did this, but instead you'd rather focus on the tail.

Everyone on this blog fails to see the whole picture. You, like the faculty of SIUe, fail to see the real problem because you are too focused on Poshard. Maybe everyone at your campus is in bed with Chris Dussold and AFAC.

Erik! I hope you know that your last sentence alone just destroyed your argument! No one's going to account ANYTHING you say if you demean them.

I understand what you're trying to get at, but what we want is for Poshard to admit to his actions.

Why do we care about seeking justice on people that AREN'T ON this board anymore?!? There's nothing we can do about the BOT or anyone else because they are not profiting anymore from their ignorance/stupidity. What are we to do or ask for from people that are DEAD? We just have to suck it up right there and make sure that THIS committee isn't making the same mistakes.

This is why an external review, or at least taking down Poshard, is important. If we are able to show plausible reasons to investigate the actions of these committees then we can have hope for a better future reputation for our school, but why persecute someone when it was not actually them?

Erik, it's been 24 Years since that same committee...In the words of our new one. "Things are different now."
I think you're the one with the old grudge and you need to get over it.

Erik said...

He did. He will issue a public apology once the dissertation is corrected.
--------------------------------

Why do we care about seeking justice on people that AREN'T ON this board anymore?!?

These people are still in power. The current BOT are the ones allowing this to happen, not Poshard. The current administration is just as much as fault as the administration in 1984. The BOT was presented with 'proof' that Poshard plagiarized and told him to fix the problems and say he was sorry. Same goes for the review committee and Chancellor Trevino.
----------------------------------

This is why an external review, or at least taking down Poshard, is important.

Here you make a statement which obviously points out you do not trust the judgment of the university, yet early you make the excuse that you can't go after the internal review committee or the BOT. This further shows that Poshard is only a scapegoat and this matter is more of a crusade than a fact finding mission.
-----------------------------------

If we are able to show plausible reasons to investigate the actions of these committees then we can have hope for a better future reputation for our school, but why persecute someone when it was not actually them?

It obviously was the review committee and the BOT which allowed this situation to go without 'justice' as you would like. Stop and consider that even if there was an external review committee, the BOT can still stand by their original decision. They are not bound to do anything a committee, Poshard, or the Chancellor wants them to do. I fail to see how this concept is so hard to understand. It is not the fault of the student if he/she gets away from breaking a rule. It is the fault of those who enforce the rules.
-----------------------------------

I think you're the one with the old grudge and you need to get over it.

I'm not ever sure what this means. However, my grudge is the fact that all of Poshar's attackers fail to see the bigger picture. It's a classic case of academic tunnel vision. Your grudge against Poshard is not well supported by your argument of [sic]'he's the only one we can go after'. That's the biggest bunch of crap I've heard so far in this fiasco. You have students attending BOT meetings, yet at those meetings you can only speak out against Poshard? Why can't you call for the resignation of the BOT and have them admit their mistake? How about the same for the review committee?

Poshard did NOT make the decision which allows him to remain President. His bosses (BOT) did.

If you would like a list of more responsible parties, I will provide one....but you might start looking at this website:

Erik said...

Again, I present the question you failed to answer..

Why are you so hellbent on taking down Poshard?

He is not the reason he is still in power. He is not the reason he only has to correct the errors and issue an apology.

Even if you Poshard resigns, it doesn't fix or change anything. It just makes you feel like you've done something successful...a sense of accomplishment. The same people that said it is ok for him to do this are still sitting at their desks running the institution. Nothing has changed....bravo!

Agreed, just how is this a stalemate?

In a stalemate or impasse, I was unaware one side of the issue got what they wanted.

As the French players celebrated the victory at the end of the game, Guti said that Madrid hadn’t played well, not as it used to. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid fotos[/url] This worked for Zaragoza, but they had to quit their offensive attack to take care of their defensive lines to prevent the Meringues’ attempts. This meant that Manuel Pellegrini’s team had more difficulties creating chances to score until minute 27, when it enjoyed a double opportunity with an accurate attempt from Raul Gonzalez, which hit the post, and then the subsequent shot from Ronaldo, which Czech Jiri Jarosik saved as the ball approached the net.

Real Madrid’s next game will be against Xerez at the Municipal de Chapín Stadium on February 13th, whereas Espanyol will face Deportivo La Coruna at home on February 14th. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]karim benzema[/url] Besides lagging behind one point, Villa Real was then reduced to 10 men at minute 35 when Gonzalo Rodriguez was shown his second yellow card for getting Kaka in the ribs.
