lol...thinker, i'm not going to speak for all ISU fans or CF...but the fact that you use the word power is interesting to me.
most reasonable people would acknowledge that the situation you don't want to speak of, because it's not in the present, should have resulted in the end of the KF era. not sure that requires they cheer for a particular school or are present on a forum to feel that way.
the facts are that he is/was the head of the program and allowed/fostered an environment that was racist enough to remove someone AND resulted in a lawsuit.
those same reasonable people would then assume allowing the head of the aforementioned program to be in charge of ANYTHING related to the matter is ridiculous for a multitude of reasons
i don't care if he works for UI or Alabama. If you're a racist, allow racism in your program or turn a blind eye to racism, you don't belong at any institution, let alone get to choose how to handle your committee that is focused on racial matters of any kind.
and that's my opinion
