It's also worth noting: so far, it's unclear if anything Smith did actually violated university policy. He showed sh*tty judgment in a lot of ways. He did things I don't personally feel are all that becoming of a leader. But based on what's known at this point, it's unclear if those things justify a 'with cause' firing.
Bobcatblitz has popped in here again recently to take a victory lap. But given what we know now, what's the victory here, exactly? Perhaps more detail will come out that makes this much more cut and dry and justifies the University's 'with cause' approach.
But if that's not the case, it kind of just feels like Bobcatblitz is a loud voice policing Smith's morals.
Does that make him wrong? Your views can/will vary. But the fact that he knew some stuff doesn't make him some sage. Far from certain that this ends up a good thing for the University, and it's far from certain that this is the right choice by the University.
Maybe there's info yet to come that closes those questions. But right now, they still feel like open questions to me.
