Today it may be 50%.<br /><br />If they can add some throwback touches to the new mascot that pay homage to Boone perhaps things can work out.<br /><br />But the fact remains that the final decision on the mascot will be selected by Coombe and approved by the Board of Trustees.

Lies just make it worse. <br /><br />We all know why Boone is being eliminated - he is a white male. No one wants to be intellectually honest. That is the elephant in the room. <br /><br />I work with a very diverse team (male/female, different ages and nationalities)and we make it work by honoring our differences as well as building on our common interests. None of us would ever think of taking away someones symbols, culture, or heritage, to advance 'diversity'. <br /><br />At a University, they believe diversity is an 'end-state'. In reality, it is one ingredient that you add to other things such as technical skills, knowledge, teamwork and interpersonal skills to achieve success. <br /><br />They have taken their eye off the ball and are going to pay a dear price. Take it from those of us on the outside, we know when we made a mistake, we admit it, and we do what has to be done to satisfy the customer. It is not difficult - and it actually feels kinda good. 5BWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902714158850663998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-9059160432919843822013-05-01T16:41:41.977-06:002013-05-01T16:41:41.977-06:00Bozak expected to play tonight for the Leafs, firs...Bozak expected to play tonight for the Leafs, first game of NHL playoffs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-61213145317106893332013-05-01T14:19:12.320-06:002013-05-01T14:19:12.320-06:00 Lies, lies? dearest leaders know they can cover u...

My little Pom dog is afraid of the golden retriever next door, so would be offended by that. Of course, Robots would bring to mind the horrific carnival robot on Scooby Doo that chased the kids mercilessly. Male and Female climbers, together, at the same time? What kind of message would that send to the youth in the world, I mean, where do the two of them sleep on the mountain?
