I believe that the last time that GSU had a clean audit was the last year that Dr. Hicks was President. The former VP of Finance, Mr. Craig, died, and he was replaced by Melvin Davis. I work here at GSU, so I know that the last year that Mr. Davis was here, before returning to his former job (with Dan Kyle), he was only a person sitting in an office. Paper work was processed until it got to his desk, and for a year, it just sat there. He was "Not in the office" for anyone who called or came by.
He convinced the administration to purchase this "Banner" computer system supposedly because it was recommended by the UL system. But, three miles away, at LA Tech, they chose not to invest money into this computer system for the same reasons that we've encountered. It is, further, my understanding that all UL systems utilizing this system have encountered problems.
The paper that you quoted is known as an Anti-Grambling paper, except during Leonard Haynes, Republican sent to GSU by Foster, but chose not to follow his directions and was removed. During the Haynes administration, there were nothing but positive articles in said newspaper.
One other problem that I have with Mr. Davis is that I was told by someone who attended the Board meeting in January when Dr. Favors was removed as President. Mr. Davis, along with the former Comptroller (who also worked and is now working in Mr. Kyles Office) sat and laughed and scowled during this most dark day in the life of GSU. This was a time that should have been viewed by all African Americans as another attack on one of our sister institutions. But these two, I understand, sat and laughed, hunched each other, and was obviously enjoying the meeting.
Please understand that when SU hurts, then I hurt. While I may come off as a person that is against SU, believe me, it's only for athletic purposes, in general, and TSPN in specific. Otherwise, I don't allow anyone of the other race, or wanna be African Americans put my sister institution down -- and in my opinion, that is exactly what Mr. Davis did.:bawling:
