You bring up a couple of good points.  I'd have rather had it done in the open in an orderly process.  But every dealing I've had with the UCAA has proven to me that they are so difficult to deal with and I've heard they have been at odds with Herbst since she has come in.  Not everyone is against her, but she wants performance and accountability.  Those that can stand up to that do just fine.  Herbst isn't divisive for the purpose of being divisive.  She demands excellence.  Not everyone is on board with that.

I've dealt with these situations a lot in my professional life.  I'm sure some people think I'm the devil.  But my job is to do X.  So X is going to happen.  You are either on the team, or off the team.  Some people can't make the cut.  I think this is very simply what the UCAA faced.  And sometimes you just have to rip the band-aid off and move forward.  The folks that are really against this would ALWAYS  be against it even if it took 3 more years, guaranteed a ring-fence of the $6M and encased the Alumni house in bubble wrap.  For this to fail, it means THEY failed.
