What is the ultimate end game with this? I'm a current student at UAB with several friends in honors programs. I would hate to see them affected.

AL.com: Some of your blog seems to imply that Ray Watts is actively fighting to dismantle UAB's status. Do you believe this to be the case?
SC: Yes, I do. I still have many friends in the UAB pipeline, many of whom are afraid to go public for fear of losing their jobs. They all, to a one, say that academics are being threatened. The football situation just brought some of those threats to public light. It started early this spring when Watts attacked the University Honors Program and attempted to dismantle a program that's produced numerous Rhodes, Truman and Goldwater Scholars. He said the students in the program were too "elitist." Since when does a University try to dismantle a program that brings it untold academic accolades?

UAB is free to leave the system the second they give back the medical school they hijacked and stole from UA.
Imagine if Auburn (or any other school for that matter) had a medical school that was well established. The school decides to place THEIR medical school (Auburn University School of Medicine in this example) in Montgomery at AUM to take advantage of and serve the larger population base there. AUM decides they want the AU School of Medicine as their own and start slapping AUM logos on everything and branding it as AUM School of Medicine and pretending AU has no rights to THEIR school and AU School of Medicine grads are shunned from commencement and alumni events. That's essentially what happened at UAB. Not only did they steal what wasn't theirs to begin with, they have the gall to try to distance themselves from the UA system with their stolen goods (i.e. the University of Alabama's School of Medicine and School of Dentistry)
