Why Weber State University is a Farce -
On 4-16-07, I held a Q&A with the students of Weber State and I kept using the word “farce.” Actually, you can read the whole thing here. Just do a search of my Q&A for the word “farce” so you can see for yourself what I was saying.
What I was referring to, is the fact that after 40-50 years of sitting on a bunch of bench land, now that Chris Peterson wants it, they don’t want to let him have it. Here they want to build classrooms and stuff like that on it, but they won’t let him build on it? Give me a break. Buildings are buildings. What’s the difference?
Besides, Weber State doesn’t need the land. In my Q&A, I told them where they can put their new classrooms. I told them where to put their parking, where to put their students, what to do with their teachers, and what they could do with all their damned administrators. I have everything all figured out for them. If you don’t believe it, read it for yourself.
But rather than use my plans, they want to have their own plans! How arrogant is that? That’s why their whole process is such a farce.
In one place, I said we need the gondola from downtown because we don’t want restaurants and commercial development up on the bench. Then later on, I said we need to have restaurants up there for Chris Peterson. If you do a search for “restaurants” you can see why.
In one place I said we don’t want students to have to walk up the hill to go to class, but then said Chris Peterson will build dormitories up on the hill for them to walk to. If you do a search for “walking” and then “additional dorms” you’ll see why.
One of them asked when Chris will be done with his plans. I know everybody is interested in that question, so here is my full quote:
When do I think we’ll hear from Chris Peterson? I don’t know, as soon as it’s done. I know, it’s frustrating for me as well to wait and just keep, you know, and hoping the plan’s going to come out next month or in a few weeks. I don’t know. I asked him that two weeks ago. I said, “When do you think it’s going to be done?” and he goes, “Well the challenge is that until it’s done it’s not done, and we keep going through iterations and improving this and that, and it is complete I can’t put a timetable. I can’t say well next week I’ll give you the version I really like, because it’s iterative. I just don’t know.”
Just go to the document and you can read that quote for yourself.
So there you have it. I offered them a plan to turn WSU into a world class university if they will just take Chris up on his offer, but they won’t do it! It’s amazing the bozos they get to run a university these days, to say nothing of the farcical state officials who did that study, and how much of a farce the whole thing is, especially when I have it all figured out for them.
You know, what I should do is pass a law that forces you all to read my Q&A as a condition of me letting you live in your houses. Somebody has to raise the bar around here.
