Tom Munley

@letsdiscuss313 @DarkoStateNews It is the trustees job to provide oversight, that is their role. So by asking the board to keep quiet, he is literally asking them to not do their job, do what he wants, and not complain.

@realTMunley @DarkoStateNews That’s cool except literally it’s a pattern of turnover. Also not his job to expose everything

If you’re wondering why MSU just lost a great president, here’s his explanation. Great job as always, MSU Board of Trustees!

@letsdiscuss313 @DarkoStateNews It’s a public university, what should be privileged? What agendas are being pushed? This type of vague statement is to deflect from his own failure to build consensus and make himself feel better about leaving a job in less time than one undergraduate class tenure.

@realTMunley @DarkoStateNews

@DNBethLeBlanc @chrissolari I hear she is going to be available next January, would be a somewhat logical choice.

Gov. Whitmer on MSU President Kevin Guskiewicz’s departure:

@OdellBretthamJr @MayorofFitztown The board gave KG everything he asked for and $1M raise he didn’t. Read between the lines. He didn’t want to be at MSU. If you quit a $2M/yr job because 2 out of 8 board members think you should be held accountable, you are not the right person to lead a major university.

@MayorofFitztown Two of the trustees won’t sign the pledge which had the President reconsidering signing the extension offered to him

The governor needs to step in and replace the entire board of trustees at Michigan State. Year after year, headline after headline, not once has it been a positive for our University. Enough is enough. They are now actively driving away the best school President we’ve had in decades

@spartandude330 @EricksonKiva @OdellBretthamJr He says it because there’s a half million alumni out there and he knows it’s better to be loved so people watch you on tv. Never heard him say anything nice until he was retired and on tv.

@realTMunley @EricksonKiva @OdellBretthamJr Then how come everytime msu is mention on college gameday Saban always mentions how much he loves Michigan state???

@EricksonKiva @OdellBretthamJr If you think Saban wanted to stay, you’re delusional. First thing he said when he landed in Baton Rouge was that we were never going to be number 1 in the Big Ten because we would always be behind UM and Ohio State. Doesn’t sound like someone who really wanted to stay.

@realTMunley @OdellBretthamJr You mean the guy who wouldn't pay the greatest coach in college football history who wanted to stay in East Lansing?

@EricksonKiva @OdellBretthamJr If the only credible candidate was someone who was about to get fired from his last job, there’s deeper issues. They could find plenty of candidates if they look outside of academia. McPherson came from the private sector and was good.

@OdellBretthamJr I’m not sure if Spartans realize how dire this situation is. Gus was the only credible candidate willing to risk wading into the cesspool this board has created. If they drive him off too NO ONE in their right mind will touch this job.

@4thecenter @OdellBretthamJr That guy needs to go.

@OdellBretthamJr It ain’t the board. It’s Quinn

@JimMcCa85850778 @OdellBretthamJr And after giving KG another $1M, he couldn’t be reached for his commitment. Maybe he is the one playing the BoT for more $$? Balow and Vassar are on the right side of this.

@OdellBretthamJr The BOT manages to pass a long-needed (and never more key than w/ July 1st approaching) piece of policy requiring them to put the school's interests above their own and Balow & Vassar are gonna royally F the entire U. Final straw for myself in terms of support if lose Pres G

@negligible_cap @frothyassets How about Presidents? Watch Questions for the Prime Minister in England and dream about what that would look like for us. I’d pay extra to watch.

Mayors and governors should be required to have quarterly earnings calls “Tax receipts came in light versus guidance due to weaker restaurant traffic, elevated public transit shrink and Ken Griffin moving half of Citadel to Miami.“ Then 45 minutes of hostile analyst Q&A from citizens

@kejca Impressive.

Warren Buffett: "Greg [Abel] understands capital allocation as well as I do. He will make those decisions very much in the same framework as I would make them."

@kejca They just replaced a bridge that burned on May 15th and ran their first train over it today. Operationally, they are best in class.

Warren Buffett: "[BNSF Railway] is going to be around for 100 or 200 years." "If the American economy prospers, the business prospers. The biggest thing is that the United States is going to do well. We can't move the railroad to China or India."

@texasrunnerDFW HHI is not a good indicator for the Park Cities. I think you need to look at total household wealth. The rise in the market over the last two years is more likely the reason home prices are rising in Park Cities.

A Tale of Two (Rich) Dallas Cities: Homes Prices in Prosper, TX (Zip 75078) are DOWN -6% YOY Median HHI in Prosper: $196,500 Home Prices in the Park Cities (Zip 75225, 75205) are UP +8% and +5% YOY Median HHI in 72225: $200,000 Median HHI in 75205: $181,000

@ConnorEaregood @sarahmatwood The university with, arguably, the biggest secrecy scandal in America just changed its policy to encourage more secrecy, not transparency. Way to go @michiganstateu. @drrema4msu and @MikeBalowForMSU the only two voices of reason.

Couple of important stories off MSU trustees meeting today from @sarahmatwood MSU board votes to limit trustees' speech in changes to code of conduct: detroitnews.com/story/news/loc… Michigan State president's salary could double if board approves: detroitnews.com/story/news/loc…

@sarahmatwood @ConnorEaregood Has it been publicly reported that he is being recruited by any other major university?

MSU Trustee Sandy Pierce says during a board meeting that President Kevin Guskiewicz is being "aggressively pursued" by other universities for the top job. Trustees will vote on doubling his salary tonight

@LSJNews @chrissolari This is MSU taking a step back. If the people responsible for providing oversight can’t speak freely, the next Nassar situation will surely go unchecked.

MSU board to consider new rules to stifle dissent among its ranks lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/loc…

@SMB_Attorney Give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but don’t doubt there will be people who do not act w the same good intent. True integrity is continuing to act ethically & morally in face of bad actors. That’s why it is not that common and Buffett & Munger preach seamless web of trust.

Had one of those weeks. You do right by people and it isn’t returned. You show loyalty, and sometimes it gets treated like weakness. Things move slower than they should. You start questioning whether being a good person in business is a disadvantage. For about 24 hours, I was pissed at the world. I even posted something out of frustration about how life chews up middle-aged dudes. It started going viral, but I deleted it. Ultimately, that mindset isn’t me. I’m not a victim. And I’m not interested in becoming cynical just because cynicism sometimes looks effective in the short term. So I’m doubling down instead. Be loyal. Go the extra mile. Show up when it’s inconvenient. Keep my word. Treat people well, even when it’s hard. For better or worse, I’d rather end the day with a clean conscience than win by becoming someone I don’t respect.
