bump for any true Niner fans who missed this classic response from Ruth Shaw in Sundayās paper:
[URL]http://www.charlotteobserver.com/406/story/644641.html[/URL]
this rebuttal is full of zingers directed at Mary Schulken and the Charlotte Observer.
it summarizes quite nicely the frustration we all have feltā¦

and if you donāt know who Ruth is, she is chair of UNC Charlotteās board of trustees and former [U]CEO of Duke Energy[/U][/B]
already got an email back from her and she said āits an honor to work on behalf of UNCCā

I did too! Hate to see her use UNCC but Iām gonna give her a pass this once!
I got a response as well!
That was awesome!
I like this. Hopefully the Observer is turning.Think they had no choice. They can ignore us and our fanbase, but a letter from the Chair of our Board of Trustees? Pretty sure they could raise a little more hell than one of our threads.
This letter was fricken awesome! Every word of it rang true and was great to read! I love seeing someone sticking up for us and sticking it to those jerks in the Observer!
[B][SIZE=7] THANKS, RUTH!!

Sort of like thatā¦more along the lines the Observer got severely called down by the ex CEO of Duke Energy, I think that scared them honestly.
If Dale Halton was chair of the trustees, they would laugh off the rebuttal. No offense to her but Ruth Shaw swings a much larger stick and I can assure you it madw the hair on somebodyās arm stand up and a big āgulpā sound could be heard on S Tryon.
[QUOTE][I]In response to āCan UNCC have it all in a recession?ā (April 1 editorial):[/I]
Is Observer just as critical of Chapel Hill athletics?
I look forward to your proposal that UNC Chapel Hill spend the $50 million budgeted to renovate Kenan Stadium on academic scholarships.

Na, that guy is overhyped. :biggrin: I bet you buy that guy drinks all the time. In fact, I bet you are so infatuated with that guy, you can stay away from him.

They trimmed out most of what I said and edited the title, but the letter from Ruth Shaw yesterday pretty much covered my feelings.
And Ruth is a pirate too!! [URL=http://www.dow.com/corpgov/leader/shaw.htm][U]Link.[/U][/URL]
āDr. Shaw holds a Bachelor of Arts (magna cum laude) and a Master of Arts degree in English from East Carolina University, and a Ph.D. in higher education administration from the University of Texas at Austin, where she was a University Fellow.ā
Thanks Dr. Shaw, great response!!!
