I swear, I will never manage to be cynical enough.

I return from traveling to find that my university has hired the VERY credibly accused (and very recent) domestic abuser Beard to be the head coach of our men's basketball team. The administration's position is "he wasn't charged (because his fiancee declined to cooperate with prosecution after she called 911 and filed the report) so get over it." Beard refuses to answer questions, including gimmee's like "Did you hit and choke your fiancee?"

Never have my employer's values been so obviously contrasted with mine. Our university community deserves better, and our student-athletes deserve better. I don't know what comes next, but this isn't okay.

It's kind of like your county killing a million of it's own citizens, and then your president giving one of the guys who is responsible a promotion.
