Ron Williams (Vice President of Student Services and Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs) addresses SGA concerns about the University's direction. From the Western Courier: https://westerncourier.com/44004/news/g ... direction/
From what I have heard, it was a tough day for everyone involved. Rumor has it that the BOT went into a closed session about 6 hours into the discussion because of heated words between a number of individuals involved. Changing the direction/refocusing WIU to allow it to thrive as the institution we all hope it can once again be is going to take effort, discussion, honesty and patience. There will be angry words, tears, and frustrations along the way but it has got to be done. We need a firm and thoughtful direction to say the least! jc

Can anyone confirm this? If so, this would be a good sign, in my opinion. It’s going to take some real strong disagreements to get Jack and a couple of VPs to either shape up or ship out.

At the very least, if it went 6 hours, that's a huge improvement over done by noon.
