by GoPokes77 11/15/2013 12:33:22 AM
Sternberg will be paid $325 ,000 in the next year. #uwyo

by Mike Vorel via twitter 11/15/2013 12:33:28 AM
UW Board of Trustees and the faculty who ran Sternberg disgust me. He was trying to make changes that were sorely needed on campus. Previous administration were horrible and now back to the same old same old.

by uwstaff 11/15/2013 12:33:42 AM
#Sternberg will only be paid $325 ,000 for the next year. Much cheaper than the 1.4m remaining in his contract. #Uwyo

"I have come to realize that as wonderful as the University of Wyoming is, it may not be the best fit for me as president" -Sternberg #uwyo

by Mike Vorel via twitter 11/15/2013 12:34:28 AM
That last statement was made from Sternberg in a statement. #uwyo

So UW's president lasted 4.5 months. That secret employment search really worked out. #uwyo

by Josh Wolfson via twitter 11/15/2013 12:35:20 AM
"This is a role that I accept with some regret." -- McGinity #uwyo

by Mike Vorel via twitter 11/15/2013 12:35:30 AM

My twitter feed is blowing up with UW pres news like he just got cut from the Broncos #UWyo

by dillacom via twitter 11/15/2013 12:36:54 AM
McGinity's three immediate priorities: 1. restore sense of calm and stability, 2. get mind around budget, 3. continue planning process #uwyo

by Mike Vorel via twitter 11/15/2013 12:37:20 AM
As an alum and a donor, I am sad. And that is my right. #uwyo

by Sally Ann Shurmur via twitter 11/15/2013 12:37:26 AM
#Sternberg resignation accepted by the #UWyo Board of Trustees. Salary adjustments also announced.

by ericakrysl via twitter 11/15/2013 12:37:36 AM
McGinity said he didn't plan on these events, but he feels up to job b/c of the people in place around him. #uwyo

by Mike Vorel via twitter 11/15/2013 12:37:50 AM
"We can do amazing things for the university and the students..." -- McGinity #uwyo

by Mike Vorel via twitter 11/15/2013 12:38:16 AM
"We have exciting things to do, and it might even turn out to be fun." -- McGinity #uwyo

by Mike Vorel via twitter 11/15/2013 12:38:43 AM
Probably forced to resign by the "good ol boys club" for trying to change things up for success. The BOT just failed the University.

by Chase 11/15/2013 12:38:53 AM
Of course it was a forced resignation. Way to let Sternberg burn for your own directives Trustees, heaven forbid we would want to move UW forward and make changes that have been sorely needed for years. Go get yourself another robotic droid like Buchanan.

by uw 11/15/2013 12:38:55 AM
Mcginity: Given the quality of people...we have exciting things to do and it might even turn out to be fun. Thanks for coming. #uwyo

by adamboyd92 via twitter 11/15/2013 12:38:56 AM
The students should be in the streets over this betrayal by the trustees!!
