O.K, we've officially entered WTF territory.
Now, I hear that UMW's student newspaper, The Bullet, is reporting that a William Frawley was arrested for a DUI in New Jersey (UMW's William Frawley's hometown?) last year. If this isn't the world's biggest coincidence, UMW must have known this, possibly before even hiring Frawley as President. If so, it casts doubt on UMW's statements today about Frawley's recent behavior being "out of character." I've also heard that the e-mails sent around campus are still not giving all the details that have been reported by the Free-Lance Star.
UMW should not lie. UMW should not shield its own community from the truth. UMW can do this while still respecting Frawley's right to privacy. UMW should not compound the damage by trying to cover up bad decisions. The community deserves a full accounting.
Before Tuesday, did UMW know about a DUI arrest of Frawley in New Jersey in 2006?
When it said that Frawley left Fairfax Hospital against medical advice yesterday, did UMW really know this to be true?
Why did UMW censor its communications to the UMW community?
Did UMW consider other options than putting Frawley on paid leave?
If UMW decides to be open about all these questions, I encourage answers to my own obsession:
Who picked Gingrich to be this year's commmencement speaker?
How much is Gingrich being paid?
UMW must have known the controversial nature of the selection; why does the official announcement read like Gingrich's own bio with nothing but glowing words about Gingrich?
Does UMW care about what its decisions and public accountings thereof signify to its students and the community at large about UMW's honesty and intellectual integrity?
And, finally, assuming my wish doesn't come true, and Gingrich actually does appear, if I cover my ears, close my eyes, and stick out my tongue during Gingrich's speech, will UMW kick me out of my daughter's graduation ceremony?
