Couple of items that may be of interest wrt PSU:
- Thread starter PSUFTG
- Start date
It is amazing to me that any self-respecting trustee would even consider abiding by these restrictions. And I wonder who is the arbiter of what statements are deemed to be "critical"? Obviously it is the BOT. This is truly embarrassing to PSU. Members of the Chinese Communist Party probably have more freedom of speech that a PSU BOT member.
What has she done to get more than what she was hired for?
Nothing. This is just more BoT BS.

How is that different from any non-disparagement clause? I work under those agreements all the time. They basically prevent one party from talking crap about another party, with certain legally protected carveouts.
My limited understanding is that whistleblower protections apply to internal reporting and reporting to appropriate government agencies. There’s limited to no protection for airing negative opinions directly to the public, correct?
Another raise for Neeli seems to be warranted. She’s there.
Correct. Any disclosures required by law are protected, but malicious statements about the other party are not. The consequences for such are usually described in the agreement (typically termination and perhaps legal action).
Private organizations can impose such clauses. When the government or its agencies do, it becomes a First Amendment question.
None of that has anything at all to do with any issues in the pending litigation, just to be clear.
”But a 5-3 majority on the board voted in a special May 17 meeting to approve the salary hike as well as a revised code of ethics and conduct aimed at creating unity.”
Eight trustees.

Everything the BoT does is calculated for maximum effect.
To piss off alums, students and fans. The embarrassing BoT does only what benefits them.
Is the Penn State BOT an agency of the PA state government?
Another raise for Neeli seems to be warranted. She’s there.
Sandy approves of the raise... suggested the BOT give her more than they were offering.
That is what efficiency looks like. If there were more the vote may have failed. Why bring in all that dead weight?

I stopped reading after the first sentence. An unaccountable person writing about someone else's accountability issues?
The more people, the greater the potential for debate and questions, which just wastes time. Advance the agenda, quickly. For f*ck’s sake.
It is inseparable from PSU, which may or may not be, depending on who you ask, day of the week. Courts will decide in this case.
Thank you, Dr. Bendapudi. Just remember that the next time you ask Harrisburg for money.
Dr Neeli doesn’t really care about Harrisburg. She’ll be long gone or either on her way out with bags packed shortly before PSU realizes it’s in a financial crisis
How about a little extra cash for Rod Erickson too! Why would anyone donate to this mismanagement. At least Pat Kraft is still there!
