I think it’s also probable that he was speaking off the cuff on a local talk show and wasn’t intending on making a national statement. I don’t have any idea why he wouldn’t have clarified the statement. That’s what anyone would have advised him to do but I think maybe it turned into a pissing contest and maybe he has his reasons rooted in local politics. I think he has handled it pretty unprofessionally and foolishly. When you are a face of a university getting sued for defamation over a petty series of events, it is a pretty good sign you are screwing up. [/QUOTE]
