Waded Cruzado Announces her Retirement

Wow, obviously you are losing when you have to resort to name calling and personal attacks.
Jeesh, get a grip, you lied, lost, and got called out. Typical bub. Think you would be used to losing or getting called out for lying by now.
Funny thing is, I’ve seen you before and you calling me chubby is like a cauldron calling a champagne glass black. Your man boobs are twice the size of my head.

Ouch. Get the dude an over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder.

Gross.

I didn't post on this subject to win or lose. I merely expressed an opinion. Comprehension is a tough one for you.

In my opinion 148.6% of people poled (that's on purpose) would agree that Waded needed to go because she was really hurting the reputation of the school. That's my opinion, so nobody can question the numbers. Also, 3+5=12 in my opinion.

That math earns As and flat roofs at state. I hear bigsky was an honor grad.

It earns far worse at the real engineering school in the State located in Butte, America.

Cruzado is a beneficiary of the times, She assumed the office during a "perfect storm."
The colleges of arts and sciences began to enjoy more popularity than the liberal arts colleges because of employment opportunities and pay scale for graduates.
She enjoyed a overly friendly BOR and easily capitalized on that by her charm. It didn't hurt to be a Puerto Rican minority woman in an environment that seems to go out of the way to hire such.
She benefited from a shift in political influence in Montana to Bozeman. The current Governor and minority Senator are from Bozeman as will be the future Eastern Montana Congressman. Typically the first words out of Senator Steve Daines mouth are, "At Montana State University..."
MSU played their cards right in streamlining the establishment of the Burns Center for Telecommunications that was named after the late Senator Conrad Burns. That solidified support, as if it really needed solidifying, with the farm and ranch community.
Any intelligent business person would know that it is best to invest in opportunities friendly to the elected as did the Canadian CEO of Goosehead Insurance and his 100 million dollars. Others did as well.
Despite being Governor of all Montana, Governor Gianforte saw to it that his foundation dollars went solely to MSU instead of to the Montana University System.
Big Sky Ski area and the Yellowstone Club are major draws to the area and Cruzado benefited.
and I suspect the television series, Yellowstone, has been a draw as well.
Is she a great leader? I have read negative comments from students at MSU that say differently. The typical complaints are that she stays in her office and tends to come out into the campus only when there is a chance for publicity or a photo op.
If she was so dedicated to MSU, then why did she go to the BOR and successfully get a raise when she was presented an opportunity to go elsewhere? Money talks.
As I said, Waded Cruzado came into the right place and the right time and rode that wave for all its worth.

My bathmat is more of a concern than who tries to run Montana State or Minot State or whatever MSU is. Try opening a second rate engineering school and then build a roof that can handle a snow storm that would make a powdered doughnut feel naked. Clown college. And if I sound like I've had a few beers, my plan is to drive straight to practice, should get me a raise.
 
(sigh) Bobby Vee said it best:
🎶Come back when you grow up, girl,
You're still livin' in a paper doll world,
Livin' ain't easy, lovin's twice as tough,
Come back baby, when you grow up!🎶

But also being able to successfully ride the wave of right opportunity is a skill itself. Many people don’t have the identification skills or skills to not mess up a good thing. Cough Engstrom Cough.

Like I have said, in her case it was like an avalanche. All she had to do was to step aside, smile, and point out how beautiful it is. There is no controlling an avalanche.

I know a number of people in Bozeman, including current and former MSU employees, who don't like her and never have.

There’s a reason she looked into outfitting her office with bullet proof glass. Probably more due to discrimination issues with students than anything with faculty. But that seems very telling. I don’t think people who 99% of other people love would be looking into that kind of thing.

First off, bigsky33 is one of the better posters from the dark side at state and I respect him/her for that. Now for the real point of this post.
Correct me if I am wrong but at no point did 33 contest my post about waded being the beneficiary of a massive favorable situation.
What happened at State was an avalanche waiting to break. Once that happened she put on her smile and charm and work bobcat nation and the BOR for all she could get.

I haven't read much of this thread but is "waded" another way of saying bogged down or to bog down? How prophetic of her parents...

I have eMailed Clay Christian about the lack of transparency regarding MSdUi. IF I get a response, I will share it with you all.

Well, I did get a reply, of sorts. I will post it tomorrow morning. It's not 'Deep Throat' level material, so don't get excited. More of a deflection of the question, a politicians 'answer.'
 
All that buildup for nothing. While trying to find my eMail to Christians, I hit the wrong button on my phone. Poofff! Gone! As I have said, it was a politicians response, referring me to the Gallatin County Prosecutors Office for information about the Garza and Housewright cases. The response was from Galen Hollenbaugh, Deputy Commissioner for Governmental Relations and Communications. He referred to several newpaper articles, Billings Gazette and Bozeman Chronicle, nothing new. I replied to his eMail with a more pointed question about MSUs apparent coverup of any news related to the whole mess. Don't get your hopes up, but If I get a reply, I will actually post it, honest.
