<p>Someone said that USC was akin to the old AOL, aka America on Hold, remember that? USC is growing logarithmically and wants the Chinese students and their cash but is unable to house and protect them. Further, this is a classic example of a fundamental failure of leadership. Nikias is where? - and instead of calling in to the press conference by phone or Skypeing, especially in this day and age of the internet, he sends Dickey, the empty suit, to address the Trojan family. That’s incompetence, pure and simple. A Trojan has been slain and our chief executive officer is radio silent and AWOL. I’m ashamed of USC’s incompetent administration.</p>
<p>BTW,</p>
<p>Isn’t Nikias president of the “prestigious” Association of Pacific Rim Universities? How ironic.</p>
