Mr Kahn offended the Faculty Senate because his Flex N Gate plant in Urbana chose to resist a union organizing effort. This was entirely legal, but in some quarters is regarded as immoral and unethical.

It’s quite possible Mr Kahn’s efforts to discourage unionization saved the Urbana plant and his people’s jobs. If enough of them really wanted a union, they would certainly have one. I’m sure the Faculty Senate didn’t see it in those terms however. Small people punish successful people for political reasons.

The dude is still a gazillionare regardless of his lost honorary degree and we use his plane. (Just imagine having a plane in the first place) He supports the beloved. Just show me more pictures of the scoreboard and stop this silly bickering!

This could require some tree pruning or removal to open up sight lines to tailgating lots across Kirby.

Has the Athletic department thought about switching to Pivot Performance turf like Ohio State just installed? It looks to not have those ugly black infill pellets. Those pellets look awful on tv and can get into the players eyes, thus the reason many players wear plastic shields on their facemasks. If we can’t get natural grass this looks to be a better alternative visually and for player safety.

Our endzones and sidelines (anywhere there's Orange on the field) looks terrible 5 minutes into the season once players start running and tackling on that turf with those pellets. Other schools seem to not have that issue and it just makes the field look dirty and cheap.
