All right I have sent yet another email to Davenport, along with ones to DiPietro and Alumni Affairs.
----
As a Viet Nam veteran, UT BSEE alumnus, long time member of Tennessee Fund and season ticket holder, I am appalled that the UT Leadership team has allowed the Haslam cartel to dictate to those in a decision making position, such as yourself and Dr. DiPietro.
You must not allow Haslam's puppet, John Currie, to hire such unqualified candidates as he has presented to you for consideration.
He must be fired.*
We need yours and Dr. DiPietro's leadership in standing up to the Haslam cartel. Enough is enough.
Until such time that you have proven to me that my University is serious in this endeavor, I am withholding all current and future contributions. I have already withheld a current pledge to to the Pride of the Southland band and will continue until Currie is fired.
