People in the know have been saying for years it's a constant tug-of-war with the ones behind the curtain. This is not some new shocking revelation.

Dude this wasn't something that played out behind the scenes and it's time for those involved to finally get the message.

Which is we welcome your money, but it only comes with so much say, and then shut the frick up or keep the wallet closed. Because this childish behavior will not be tolerated outside of closed doors. And because as failed business discussion this was a management fiasco.

Because:

This was dirty laundry, public coup d'état bad,
and it comes across as lack of institutional control,
and as attempted career assignation it will have far lasting implications,
and because it made a great University look bush league once again.

And it was probably a catch-22 where the funds brought merely covered the extreme cost of having conducted business with them in the first place.

Furthermore get over it - have a laugh - this Curious George quip was rib hurting funny.
