except your timeline is wrong or perhaps worded wrong. Buning took the leave of absence on Sept. 16th or so we have been told. It was announced on the 17th, that is two days after the Potato Bowl and a full week before Homecoming week started. So, he was not given the weekend of Homecoming to decide.
Now, if I may I believe what Siouxcia is referring to is that we the people should only have known that he was taking a leave of absence. There never should have been so-called "facts" that he has been fired. Yes, I know that it looks like he has been and you have your sources that told you that, but I have to go with what the people who are in charge at the Univ. say and they say that he hasn't been. Regardless of whether there was rumors or not, the public still shouldn't have had any ideas about problems. I don't not proclaim to know all that is going on at UND nor would I want to because that is why we have people in charge. I don't have a need to know even if I want to, so why do I think that I need to? Even if people have been let in the know of something as an employee of UND, they shouldn't let others outside of UND or who already knows about it know about it. I am sorry, that is my little rant and I will stop now or it will go on forever.
