Hi Ms. Coppage,
Thank you for your email. However, I still remain confused about what
exactly I did to violate any VSU/BOR policy given those you have
provided? Upon review of what you have provided me, I see nothing I
violated?
Could you or Attorney Gaskins please specify exactly what I have done
that has violated any of the cited policies?
On another note, your email also didn't provide any policy relative to
VSU foundation accounts and their management? Will that policy be
provided to me as promised in my Monday meeting with the President?
A quick aside, given the upcoming talk by likely presidential candidate
Dr. Ben Carson, isn't VSU actually close to violating the BOR policy you
cite below given it will be using assorted "USG materials, supplies,
equipment, machinery" for his visit and he's likely to run for president in
2016?
Lastly, do you know if the requests I made of Dr. McKinney on 8/19 will
be honored? They included the transfer of Mary Turner Project Funds
to Save Our Children (a check request has been submitted by Dr.
Meyers), a partial refund ($62.22) for my last open records request
given the discrepancies in rates I was quoted, temporary access to my
VSU email account (24 hours would sufce), and the request for an
additional, comparably compensated, and credentialed speaker given
the Ben Carson event and his political perspective?
Thank you for your time and please thank the President for removing
the foundation webpage that was continuing to collect money in the
name of the MTP.
Have a good day.
Mark George
