Carol expects results, not excuses. I understand some former employees didn't like working for her...they didn't like to work. period.<BR/>..look behind the curtain, Lamkin couldnt find his way to the mens room without help....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-76764586372519899632007-03-14T17:58:00.000-05:002007-03-14T17:58:00.000-05:00Anon 259, you should be pointing the fingers at your high schools for not preparing your daughters for higher education.<BR/><BR/>As someone who got an associate degree and then went to get my bachelors degree from the SAME INSTITUTION, I had to fight for everything I took to be accepted and even then it wasn't - and it was their program!!! <BR/><BR/>Transferring from one school to another does not guarantee everything will be accepted. They all see the $$$ $igns and want it to be taken (or coming in to) thier facilities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-55441252071418779862007-03-14T14:59:00.000-05:002007-03-14T14:59:00.000-05:00My Purdue-bound daughter took two math classes at Ivy Tech in the last year.

Good luck finding someone with the guts to do it. Are you willing to tell Pat Bauer he has lost his $80,000-a-year job which basically does nothing?<BR/><BR/>And for what it's worth, Ms. D'Amico's reputation is not as sterling as presented. Ask some of the people who've worked for her, or worked with her on various projects.<BR/><BR/>Word has it the governor wanted her out. He may have gotten this one right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
