You know, the little people making less than, say, $100 K a year. <BR/><BR/>And then if words like ethics or integrity should ever drop from their lips...<BR/><BR/>Yah, fersure.<BR/><BR/>One way or the other, I don't think they will be with us for very long.Mr. B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02067666077743889680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815564874722496808.post-78058408017116004732008-04-29T11:51:00.000-05:002008-04-29T11:51:00.000-05:00Actually, I was calculating based their monthly sa...Actually, I was calculating based their monthly salary "deficit". Unless they are taking paid leave from their faculty duties, it is unclear how this choice will free up the time required to clean up this mess.<BR/><BR/>Seems to me that U of Minn is stalling and biding their time until these 2 are formally charged in Georgia. If no charges come out of the attorney general's office, then U of Minn will likely try to hang onto these 2.<BR/><BR/>However, I think that their ability to continue as "rainmakers" as you put it is going to be significantly affected by the allegations.<BR/><BR/>They were brought in to bring private research funds to the U and the allegations are based on non-state funds.<BR/><BR/>Don't you see future problems for these two to deliver the goods? Also, they would need to bring in $1M a year to make their price tag worthwhile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815564874722496808.post-61665210679766473802008-04-29T10:55:00.000-05:002008-04-29T10:55:00.000-05:00I hope that Zahavy knows a really good attorney. ...I hope that Zahavy knows a really good attorney. Seems like he's clearly been give the go ahead to give the U their comeuppance for his firing. I hope he takes them to the cleaners. The Administrators of this University should be ashamed to suger coat this blatantly arrogant behavior on the part of these super stars (Sainfort and Jacko).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815564874722496808.post-84741035135648310922008-04-28T22:39:00.000-05:002008-04-28T22:39:00.000-05:00Zahavy is easy to find on google.

This kind of BS is what started this mess in the first place. False posturing of the actuality of the situation. In addition, they may have been rainmakers but how long is this likely to continue now that they have been effectively blacklisted. Let's see if the dividends come in the end or not...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
