UConn will appeal in court:

as they should. its been said numerous times, yes it wasn't handled the best way by the UConn administration but it really seems like the Ethics Office is trying to flex their muscles here by making this a bigger deal than it really is.

State screaming to the college world "We are small time and small-minded!".

The problem is they (OSE) have no authority to change/modify the applicable policy/law. Only State Legislature/CGA can. OSE is between a rock and hard place.

This can't be said enough. What a joke.

 

[whalerfan]

this is total b.s.

 

[CTMike]

Chief should have been there.

Disagree. The committee recommendation needed to make RE2 Corey's de facto supervisor and change the start date to the execution date to get finding that the situation violated CT ethics. UConn should prevail in court.

If it's black/white then no need for a commission. You only need one person to administer the program. Give the administrator a few staff members, but one lawyer is all you need.

This is not the only thing OSE does...

Morons. Every chance the State gets it shoots itself in the head.

What votes do they take on issues that aren't based on state law?

I said they can have staff to help with their other tasks.

I'm asking why they need to vote on legal opinion if it's black and white.

When you've promoted a flawed narrative but it's still important to save face, dig in regardless of the consequences or the cost to taxpayers, the University and ultimately the reputations of everyone involved - including yourself.

They don't teach this in school yet you see it played out over and over.

The problem is that we all know HCRE2 is Corey's real supervisor and so did the board. I'm sure they wouldn't accept, "so and so's son works in his department but is independently supervised by his boss" in any other case. I'm not familiar with the date issue, but I hope it's enough to distinguish the case because otherwise I think UConn is fighting an uphill battle. Alternatively, getting the legislature to pass a carefully crafted exemption would do the trick, but they have more important issues to deal with (or not deal with) right now. Corey seems to be doing a good job so I hope this is resolved, but I'm not optimistic.

If Randy's (or anyone's) start date is when the offer was accepted and not the real start date... then a whole lot of folks are owed back pay are they not?

Not sure where you are headed but the Citizen's EAB's formation is codified in State regulation as an oversite board. There are administrative regulations and legal regulations/statutes they deal with among all state agencies.

Medic. You seem deferential to this committee. What's up? They didn't adhere to anything. They made wild suppositions and questionable assumptions. They didn't adhere to anything

I'm not differential to the committee... I have interacted w/ OSE previously and understand how they operate a bit - also my read of the AO (and I'm clearly not a lawyer but have dealt w/ both public sector and private sector issues of conflicts of interest and nepotism). My opinion holds no more weight than that.

I'm not convinced the "start date" argument of the equation wins out in the end but the supervisory piece of the argument is much clearer in my mind and is an issue that I'm not sure can be changed by the OSE CEAB). UConn interacts with these folks on a very regular basis - this should have been resolved before it got to where it is. Interested to see what comes of the Superior Court appeal. I'm clearly rooting for UConn but...

The remaining (word choice) season ticket holders are ready to start cutting checks to recruits and this is where we are?
