Inslee hates the Cougs.
- Thread starter COUGinNCW
- Start date
Yes, because of all the people sick and people dying, he is worried about the Apple Cup. In his press conference yesterday, he was wearing a WSU Cougar face mask. For someone who went to the uw, he has been good to WSU. I know Dr. Floyd liked him.
Inslee could have blocked the removal of the UW medical school monopoly aka the "Spokane medical school" but he didn't so Inslee deserves some credit for that.
But Inslee kept his mouth shut during the Robert Barber affair which allowed some out of state racists (head of SCB and others) to spout off and try and deny Barber's civil rights. (To his credit, Ron Sims a WSU regent was vocal).
Dan Evans (everybody's favorite governor?) was probably the worst for higher ed. Making Evergreen a hippie school and not a technocrat school has led to lots of dumb ass bureaucrats in that town (should have made WWU the de facto hippie school). "Greeners hire Greeners" and "Greeners promote Greeners" is a thing in state government.
Basically Dan Evans was completely biased towards the UW (student and later regent) and Evergreen (creator and later school president when departed governor's mansion) and let every other higher ed school in the state of Washington take a hike.
Denny Heck will be the governor within the next 12 months (and a Greener, cross your fingers)
CML publicly suggested Barber, Logan Tago and Shalom Luani were unfairly targeted by the Pullman PD.
Denied due process
Wasn't allowed to question witnesses
Not allowed to have his lawyer directly participate
Wasn't allowed to challenge biased panelists - his expulsion was led by a Polynesian Exclusionary Radical Feminist (PERF) whose supposed residency in the state of Idaho was exhibit one of her discomfort with students and especially non-white students.
(SCB also destroying evidence and making jokes about Barber being in a holding cell.
Do they dare make that same joke about white non-binary engineers?)

So, if Biden wins, you think that he names Inslee as the head of the Department of the Interior? And then Denny Heck, as the Lt. Gov., takes over? It is a possibility. But, November is still a long way off.
It would have been too obvious if he’d singled out Whitman County.
Ok, I’m not a big Inslee fan but I m Fn around.
Inslee may have signaled that he was out either way (private industry to make some money like McKenna is doing - Inslee's net worth isn't great and needs to earn more $ if Trump wins, cabinet post for two years if Biden wins).
Cyrus Habib leaving or being told to leave and an adult running for Lt Governor (and not a band leader, and not a former UW football coach, and not the inventor of pickle ball and not some dude with a shady anti drug charity and not a blind Jesuit monk) is probably not an accident.
Heck already said he won't run in 2024 for Governor if he inherits the job to keep AG Ferguson and King County Executive Constantine happy.
He's such a pos. Megalomaniac who is really feeling his oats now that he's won a couple of court cases.
So if Leach just booted him for punching a guy, he would have received due process? Don't remember Laurenzi or others booted for whatever in the 8 seasons he was here....
You clearly don’t understand the difference between being removed from the football team and expelled from the university.
So you read the student athlete handbook and WSU student handbook and understand the process. Good.
So the AD for example could have booted him off the team correct, without recourse , correct ? Just want to make sure I am understanding what is fair and isn’t “fair”.
In case anyone is interested, and in defense of WSU.
Barber case established legal precedent. It is one thing to deny someone due process provided by established law, which is violating the law, it is another when a court after the fact holds that established law does not provide adequate due process. The later occurred in Barber's case, according to the court of appeals. Those subject to school expulsion/discipline are now afforded greater due process protections than they had been previously afforded, state wide. That is a good thing. But lets not forget the fact that Whitman County, not WSU, charged Barber with felony assault after he blind-side, cold cocked a guy who happened to be half his size. Ultimately, the county prosecutor believed, but couldn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt, that Barber had the requisite mens rea, i.e. guilty mind or intent. He was the perpetrator. That's on video and Barber never argued, at his trial, that it wasn't him. Instead, he successfully argued that he was panicked and acted out of fear during a melee.
It was never a situation of expelling the wrong guy man. Barber could have killed a fellow student. It appears to come down to whether he was a basically a callous punk or someone who simply panicked and exercised very poor judgment, as a result. Barber had a ton of support, but the discipline board at WSU is hardly a Texas jury. Who knows?
Based on circumstance, I must assume there isn't substantial evidence that WSU intentionally destroyed exculpatory evidence. Had they, that is the surest example of violating due process, legally, and would form the strongest basis for a civil suit, i.e. intentional wrong doing, if not criminal. Had they, Barber would likely have sued us, wouldn't you? Was there ever a monetary settlement? Anyone?
I only wish Robert Barber had half the talent of his kindred spirit, Keith Millard, who plead guilty to a lesser charge under similar circumstances. Millard also faced expulsion, but he and Walden took a different approach, both begged for mercy, and pulled on liberal heart strings regarding Millard's very difficult childhood.
You don’t understand what due process means. The term refers to the process and procedure for discipline, not the outcome.
Just to be clear, Barber never made it to the Court of Appeals. It was the grad student who was expelled whose case went to the Court of Appeals at about the same time.
So what does your review of the student athlete handbook and student handbook tell you?
Saw a doc on Evergreen, and some youtube videos about a husband and wife professors that got run off because they didn't toe the far left liberal line. That place is insane. They had a "no white people on campus" day because SJW reasons, which is what the husband/ wife objected to, iirc.
Sort of. Evergreen had - for a long time - a day when minorities willingly absented themselves from campus. One year they decided to change it up and “ask” all the white people to absent themselves. Two professors objected because there’s a big difference between choosing to not show up yourself and telling someone else not to. His statements quoted in the attached are much more polished, and I tend to agree with him, and they refused to support the event.
They ended up claiming that The subsequent outcry made it unsafe for them to be on campus, and the institution did nothing to defend or protect them, and they sued. Ended up settling and getting paid $500K to resign.
They no longer do this event.
