<p>“I have come to the conclusion that my judgment in this matter . . . was poor,” </p>

<p>Duh! Problem is, the damage is already done. Time lost is time lost. Just like my DD’s teachers that assign reading and projects during winter and spring breaks and then ask if everyone had a re****l and fun break. Another duh.</p>

<p>The law dean does not just have poor judgment. He is ethically challenged.</p>

<p>He should never ever have even considered using university facilities for a totally private function. That the prom dinner was held during exam time for Baylor students added injury to insult. But even at a different time, even in the middle of summer, it would have been wrong. </p>

<p>Somebody needs to read him the riot act.</p>

<p>Big typo. No profanity intended. re**** should have been relaxing.</p>

<p>What? Do they not have restaurants, caterers or party rooms for rent in his neck of the woods? I agree with marite…it would have been wrong on any day.</p>

<p>I’m sure there are banquet rooms available all over Waco, if not in the student union at Baylor. Seems to me like a little one-upmanship here. Why take a limo when there are helicopters and why rent a boring old banquet room or have a dinner in your home when you can use your position to have it in a law library? Better yet when you have the power to exclude people who have business there and no one else would dare ask to use the library for non law school related functions.</p>

<p>What about the staff that was needed for security, damage control (with teens, it is needed)…if I were a student there, i would want some sort of refund for the hours I could not use MY library because of the arrogance of this man</p>

<p>Seriouslly, it may not be much, but it can send a message</p>

<p>The gall of some people is just amazing</p>

<p>And its just "opps, me bad’</p>

<p>always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission is my motto :slight_smile:
but ya- he obviously doesn’t have a clear idea of what permissible boundaries are- he needs to be canned- because this is probably the tip of the iceberg of improprities</p>
