If it is, she may want that job back, and challenge the school that it doesn't have grounds to fire her per her previous contract. However, the scandal that's associated with her now may make it impossible to be effective in her previous job, which I understand involved fundraising. It's a quagmire to be sure.

The 20K was evidently Petrino's personal funds. Which I'm sure interests his wife. I'm curious as to what the money was for, and exactly when the money exchanged hands.
do ya think we will ever know the story behind the $20,000? That is the part that bothers me the most, the rest I can live with, although I think he is an jerk, I can understand his trying to hide the whole thing, but the money part was the icing on the cake I think.

As for firing her, hubby brought up a good question: if they keep her isn't it possible the other candidates will say they were not given a fair chance, couldn't they treaten a law suit? At the least the job would have to re-posted and the interviewing process repeated. What are her chances of getting the job a second time

We were listening to one of the sports shows on the way to radiation this morning. a lot of the fans are about as upset with the gal as they are with Patrino.

It will be interesting to see what happens. I bet he will find a way to get another coaching job...Like you, I hope not (well I shouldn't say that, for his family I hope he does) but I just have a feeling he will end up somewhere.

As far as the sexual harassment issue, it isn't the woman in question who can claim sexual harassment, but others in her department, or others who applied for her job, can claim that she received preferential treatment because of their personal relationship.

I can't see any way they can keep her. The way she was hired was a violation of university policies. And yes, the other applicants could file complaints against the school now that the facts have emerged.

I'm sorry to hear you (or your husband) aren't well. I hope the radiation treatments are going well.

Thanks DC, he only has 4 more treatments, it has been a 7 week, daily ordeal but thank god it is about over. Then we take about a 6 week break and do for another 8 weeks. We are just thankful he has had no serious side affects and we are living today, not 50 years ago.

Everything is going amazingly well. Of course the C scans in June will tell us more. Yes, please a prayer here and there won't hurt; we are doing well, but our poor cars are getting tired of 50 miles a day, 5 days a week.
