Surprise visitor?
24/7 saying that According to a report from Ralph Haurwitz of the Austin American-Statesman, University of Texas President William Powers must resign today or face termination early next week.
Probably an old pic. He's wearing long sleeves
Yeah, my bad. I knew the pic was old. I just read the tweet quickly and thought it said "On my way to Texas".
I can only hope this is all a lie. I am a huge supporter of Powers. He has done a GREAT job at UT.
some of you must not be familiar with the UT administrative situation. this has been an ongoing cluster for the past few years. he'll stay.
Got this email this afternoon.
Dear Texas Ex,
We apologize for interrupting your Fourth of July weekend, but we have urgent news of the university to share with you.
Multiple news outlets are reporting that UT-Austin President Bill Powers has been given an ultimatum to resign or be fired at this week’s meeting of the Board of Regents. We can confirm for you that this news is accurate, and that President Powers has declined to resign, instead asking to work together on a timeline for change.
A forced resignation or firing would be a travesty for UT. It would cause further tension with legislators regarding UT System, would compound unrest among faculty, students, and alumni, and invoke serious harm to the ins ution’s reputation in the national spotlight. President Powers has advanced the university through many tremendous accomplishments, and has been a great leader; he deserves better than this. This is about our university; it is a treasure that alumni need to protect and we need to stand up and fight for its stature. The University of Texas at Austin deserves better than this.
This latest news came from an unfortunate leak to the media which has caused a premature impression of an ongoing and unresolved personnel decision, and has inflamed the controversy. If the individual who leaked the details of the conversation between the chancellor and the president of UT-Austin to the media is in a fiduciary role over the university, this person has breached that duty and has not acted honorably nor in the best interests of the university. Despite this, the chancellor and the president should be able to work together on a mutual decision that provides leadership and a succession plan for the university. That is the way this kind of change is responsibly made.
For more information on this matter and resources for alumni to take action, please see this overview on our Texas Exes website, www.texasexes.org
Thank you for your loyalty to our great alma mater.
Kay Bailey Hutchison, President of the Board
Charles Matthews, Chairman of the Board
I hate Perry and all his cronies for screwing over Powers and their attempt to screw over The University.
Oh goodness, kids are dropping out so instead of raising the standard of the University lets lower it meet the standards of the students.
about to publish the same email lol

tbh though kay bailey has the political pull to make sure this won't amount to anything...even though she's no longer in office
I'm glad he didn't resign. How can I blame this on Perry or do I not even need to try because it really is him?
Perry has an agenda to make bachelors degrees more affordable all well and good, but the changes he is wanting to make at Texas will turn the University from a research University to a diploma mill.
Yep, exactly. Unreal how long perry has been in office.
OrangeBloods reporting DT Poona Ford will be heading to Austin this week after completing a summer school course.
One of my personal favorites for the '15 cycle is DT Javier Edwards of Aldine Davis. He has a top 4 of Arkansas, Houston, Mississippi State (his lone offer at the moment) and Texas. Says he will sign with one of them on signing day.
I don't like Gil Brandt and I don't trust his sources, but...
Per 24/7, add 2016 QB Shane Buechele of Arlington Lamar and 2016 QB/ATH Tristen Wallace of DeSoto to the camp list:

OL Garrett Thomas of Many, LA has told 24/7 he'll be committing on Wednesday morning at 11 a.m.
He did not visit OU (as scheduled) before making a decision so they're thinking it will be Texas.

@AutulloAAS
D'Onta Foreman's father tells me the Texas incoming freshman running back must get a B in summer class to gain NCAA clearance.
24/7 saying WR Ryan Newsome will be officially visiting Texas for the Iowa State game on October 18th.
As of now, he will take all five visits. The other schools are Notre Dame, UCLA, Oregon and Oklahoma.
