Insurance Premiums v. Higher Ed Tuition

NewsOK carries the story that insurance premiums increased 62% from 2000 to 2007, while income increased only 20%. If just reporting a fact, the information is fine. But, these stories are often used to advocate government confiscation of the health care and insurance industries. So, let’s look at something totally in the government’s control, higher [...]

The plaintiff is Jana Walstrom, [...]

Rice Makes RSU State of University Address –or– I’m Sharon Kern, Who Are You, and What Are You Doing Here?

RSU President Dr. Larry Rice today made his State of the University address. I was in attendance, though not warmly greeted.
Let’s say it this way: I’m 6′4″ tall and even the fake weight on my driver’s license is probably twice most normal men’s. I can’t really blend into a crowd; I don’t try. Additionally, my [...]

Joe Wiley Lawsuit Update - 7/28/2008

I’ve been busy with other things and unable to update the progress of the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by Marilyn Goff against Rogers State University (Former) President Joe Wiley, Sheree Hukill, and the O.U. Regents with the regularity I would have liked.
To get up to speed, you can read my previous posts regarding the lawsuit.

U.S. Dept. of Ed. Discovers Serious Problems with RSU’s Grant Programs

Information has been whispered for some time now. What we knew was that officials from the U.S. Dept. of Education (DOE) visited Rogers State University in Claremore in February 2008 to conduct an on-site review of RSU’s federal grant programs, which receive over $8.3 million in federal funds. On-site review personnel interviewed more than 30 [...]

July 1 Named RSU Academic Freedom Day

The WynnBlog is proud to announce that it has dubbed July 1, 2008, “RSU Academic Freedom Day.” July 1 marks Dr. Larry Rice’s first official day as president of Rogers State. Chairman Joe Wiley will officially be off the payroll and off the grounds (not to mention out of state). Maybe, just maybe, with some [...]

I was at the courthouse for Tywone Parks’ arraignment yesterday. As for details, I don’t have many. It was crowded in the courtroom, so [...]

I was not able to be in the courtroom for Tywone Parks’ preliminary hearing today, [...]

Judge: Wiley’s Previous Evasion of Service Not Pertinent in Current Case

Just discovered via the PACER system that Judge Kern of the Federal Court in Tulsa has granted Sheree Hukill and Joe Wiley’s motion to strike two attachments to one of Marilyn Goff’s filings. The two exhibits are related to a previous bit of litigation involving RSU. Yours truly was the special process server in that [...]
