Would it bother you that Fred and Judge Townsend went to the same wedding in Europe? Would it cause doubt if you knew that Carol Williams was a friend of the accuser's mother? Would it cause doubt if you knew that the accuser's parents met with Royce immediately before he fired O'Day and Pflu? Would it bother you if Aronofsky and Couture were pressured to leave their positions after the way the conduct code hearing was conducted? Does it cause you any doubt, that JJ is still in school and on scholarship, despite the "expulsion order"? Does it make sense that all discovery has not been turned over to the defense and trial is rapidly approaching? If none of this causes you any doubt, then I don't think you understand the concepts of innocent until proven guilty, privacy, freedom, due process or conspiracy. :roll:
I guess I don't then. Fred and Karen worked together for Years, why wouldn't they have common friends? Karen and Pabst worked together for years as did Fred and Pabst. Can anyone think of a reason WHY Aronofsky and Couture shouldn't have been fired for any number of reasons. Like maybe certain Middle Eastern rapists leaving the country??? I can't imagine why the parents after Pflus public comments about JJ wouldn't have met with someone seeing as bombing the University was out of question. Carol Williams has lots of friends. Well maybe conspiracy, I do understand. You need better than this for a good one.
Again I ask why couldn't Pflu keep his damn mouth shut? Even he said he prolly would still have a job.
The thing that happens on this board and in the overall rumormill is one person makes a statement and then tells another, who tells another, and at the end it is treated as something closer to fact than rumor/opinion/conjecture.
I know I get in trouble with Player and others for pointing out that most of what we treat as fact here can't actually be traced to any known public facts, and instead I am told that if I want to disprove a rumor I can't just ask rational questions but the burden of proof falls on the question asker to have facts...which actually doesn't make sense. This leads to outrageous statements being accepted as fact in Griz Rumor World.
Anyway...I have no publicly written fact to back this up, however common sense and critical thinking supports this. Couture wasn't fired. He had been planning on retiring and told his boss (VP Student Affairs), the summer prior to all of this happening that last year would be his last. Would someone that the President fired be then asked to be part of the search committee for their successor AND paid to stay on board after said successor was hired for a month to train them?
Now that we have that out in the open, carry on the narrative that every single problem at the University is entirely 100% Engstrom's fault.
