re: "We do not believe that the IHL Board was justified in its decision"

Khayat makes a very valid point about running the Med Center. They have done some great things there over the past 6 years and actually become one few State run academic centers in the US to turn a profit. The limits of The State purchasing laws (basically enacted to acquire backhoes and paper clips not cutting edge medical technology) along with the IHL oversight (anything over $250K has to be approved by them and is basically a 2 year process.....not cool if the new technology can save someone's life) have made moving the facility forward extremely difficult.

Long story short, I question the usefulness of the IHL Board anymore. It seems it's sole purpose is to ensure all State schools are equally mediocre instead of allowing individual institutions to flourish!
