President Curtis retiring effective June 30, 2024

WANTED: Passionate Sycamore Fanatics. That You?

Register NOW to join our community of die-hard Sycamore fans.

Where did I say they should fire her? Putting her in a different role was what I had in mind.
Okay, fair enough. That’s certainly not the way I interpreted it nor do I really think that’s what you meant, but thanks for clarifying.

I still don’t get why her potential lack of candidacy for a promotion deems the need for a demotion, but okay.

I don't know what Angie's qualifications are, but if she's not good enough to be THE AD then ISU needs to hire someone else to be the senior associate AD going forward. If she actually wants the job, then it's ridiculous to continue to ask her to do the job over and over again until they find someone else. She's worked at ISU now for 14 years. If she's not ready now then I kind of doubt she ever will be.

Uh, no.

The AD roles are a separation in duties. She handles many of our non-revenue sports as part of her duties like track & field, cross country and most (if not all) of the women's sports. She also sits on multiple committees at the MVC and NCAA level.

If you go to GoSycamores you can go through all of our assistant athletic directors and see their roles and responsibilities. It takes 20 minutes. Also, here is Sherrard's old bio:

Well you're assumption is wrong, because I actually think she probably deserves the job and should get it this time around if she wants it. I don't think it's right to have her do the job at least twice, maybe three times now, just to give it to someone else. But, if they're never going to allow her to actually be the head AD, knowing that she would like to hold that position permanently, then they should quit making her the head AD every time they get in a bind. To me it seems like it would be a slap in the face not to pick her this time around. Hopefully Curtis will not be allowed to make the next hire, so by the time a decision is made she probably will have held the interim title for 7 or 8 months at least.

So, you (again) dodge the question. Your bias is screaming.

Thanks for parroting a political line; you can't even articulate how you reached your "educated" position.
You’re damn right ..........I’m biased against anyone who intentionally damages our university.
Nothing at all political about that!

Another stellar post; in reading it, I'm highly confident you've laid in an ample supply of aluminum foil for your hat.

What exactly is to be gained by Curtis' (your paraphrased claim) "...intentionally damaging Indiana State..." ?

Wait, let me guess, Taylor Swift and Kelce are behind her actions...

Probably the Pentagon.

You’re expressing your opinion, right?
That’s what most of us do on this forum. We express our opinions. But you blast everyone on here that can’t produce facts.

O.PIN.ION
noun
. a view or judgment about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
. the beliefs or views of a large number, or majority of people about a particular thing.
. an estimation of the quality or worth of someone or something.

Every comment I have made on this particular thread has been my opinion.
There have been many threads over the years where my comments have not been based on opinion, but facts.
There is plenty of room on this forum for opinions and facts.
You need to be more understanding and far less critical of other members.

Has anyone considered the possibility that Angie is quite content in her assistant's job? Just curious.

No - In this case, I'm wholly expressing a statement of FACT. I can hear the aluminum foil on your hat.

You made the claim that the current ISU president is INTENTIONALLY damaging ISU.

So, if you're claiming she's doing it PURPOSEFULLY, back up your claim OR don't make a baseless claim.

If you can back up a claim/statement with FACTS, people will respect your positions, your arguments. When you fall back to "well, that's my opinion (and it's NOT based in facts); well people will be more critical of your position.

It's VERY easy to come a forum like and spout bullsh*t.

Develop a position, back it up with facts and your position will become stronger, more defensible.

Wouldn’t public opinion be considered a fact in this case? Just read the opinions of other members on this thread. Or, are they spouting bullshit too?
Were the thousands of boos last Saturday our imagination?
My basis/fact in this case is that most members have expressed displeasure with her performance. Plain and simple. Why haven’t you criticized all those other members?
I think my position would be well supported by other members.
Supporting Curtis is indefensible.

(By the way, the correct usage is your, not you’re)

Again, you stated Curtis is INTENTIONALLY damaging ISU. Not some of her actions/inactions have brought "damage" to ISU but she is INTENTIONALLY doing it.

I'm simply asked you WHAT is her intent for that "act."

If you want to dodge the answer - fine, it won't be the first time.

Is she unpopular? Yes.

Has she ever been popular? Not that I recall.

My only defense of her is that she, nor any of her predecessors, any of her successors have the absolute POWER to DESTROY a university manner in which foil hat wearers believes she wields. It's kinda like all of the fucking idiots across this country that believe the US President has the POWER to Build, Destroy, Shutter the US economy or any other economy - the power does not reside in that office. Doesn't stop all of the foil hat-wearing ass clowns proclaiming it to be true.

So, again I'll ask (and again, you'll ignore) What is her INTENT for DESTROYING ISU?

If Lloyd Benjamin couldn't kill ISU... if Andi Myers couldn't kill ISU football, what in hell makes you believe Deborah Curtis can do both?

Fucking idiots?
Foil ass wearing clowns?
Dude you need to take a chill pill.

As I suspected, you still refuse to defend your claim.

And you wonder why you're met with derision
