I know there's a lawsuit about the incoming dean that I don't believe to be qualified. And the university continues to say, oh, we followed the regular procedure. They didn't. See, here's the thing. The regular procedure had things set out like it had to be someone who needed tenure. They had to come from academia, and this individual didn't meet any of it. And so when questioned on that, the university says, oh, well, in our regular process, we have an exception for extraordinary circumstances. Well, wait a minute. (49:49–49:59)
