Kristian Dyer outs person who leaked info

no idea, but could it be the person that was interim head of athletics, prior to Julie's arrival, that hired Jordan? I've thought of him as loyal to RU though.
well then I'll eat my crow and say I was wrong.
Didn't remember him leaving. But allow me to say GOOD RIDDENCE
He has a high paying job and rank, he steps in as a acting AD when needed, no way in hell it is him.
Yeah, this is an awesome idea - let's always out confidential sources.
Because guess what, the next time something bad happens, that person's going to think twice about reporting it to anyone for fear of being outed, being retaliated against and having their motivations questioned.
This isn't to say that Kyle Flood did (or did not) do anything wrong. But there's a reason who journalists protect their sources.

Investigation had already begun when this source opened up. So tell me, what "bad" thing was this person protecting the RU community from at that point?
Another name that fits the description I also think is too loyal to RU to be the leaker. This one came close to becoming recruiting coordinator before news stories squashed it because he is a booster. I believe that he is still a loyal booster, though.
It would make more sense for him to be the one leaking the stuff about Flood being safe.
Perhaps, now, people have a better understanding for why there was some personnel "shakeup" between the time Hermann was hired and now.
That's not the point, and I think deep down, you know it.
This is exactly why potential whisteblowers keep quiet.
Carl Kirschner? Umm ... no, it's definitely not him. I find it difficult to believe that someone even put that out there.
That dude is worth millions, so no, he didn't need that job, so much so that he was going to take it as a non paying job. Also he doesn't work for Rutgers. So it is not him.
I agree with this. There's a difference between legitimately whistle-blowing an illegal, moral, or otherwise ethical issue that is being ignored by management or kept under wraps, and leaking it to the press while an active investigation is already proceeding. That strikes me as someone looking to be a legitimate saboteur, or simply seeking their 15 minutes of fame. As such, I have no problem with the latter being publicly outed and terminated from employment. EDIT: Just want to make clear that we are not referring to the professor whom Flood e-mailed here. The ire is being directed at whomever else decided to break protocol and leak this to the press while the matter was already being looked into.

He was not the whistleblower, that is the point. He/she was just a person with a grudge against RU. The investigation had already started.
I don't have a problem with the instructor, not saying that I would have handled it that way. But I do have a problem who leaked the story to the press, instead of letting RU conduct the investigation out of the public's eye.
Exactly. Calling this person a "whistleblower" as if he was actually reporting some scandal is absurd.
And saying its okay to leak it because an investigation already started is silly.

Wow, Schiano even gets into this conversation.[roll]
But I think there are more than that one I've seen that wish Flood gone and wouldn't mind Greg returning.
Hopefully they will learn to understand he had his day and Flood deserves a chance to prove his worth.
But face it, there are some who still look for ways to bash Julie, so we should expect there is an anti Flood sentiment as well.
Just said that whenever something happens at RU the anti crowed implies the worst and seems to hope that's the case.
A recent update to this story has said that the email was sent to a faculty member at Mason Gross.
Flood's punishment has been revealed. He must write 1000 times and clean the whiteboard/blackboard:
I assure you, scarletrat, any connection to the rodent reference in my post and your screen name was merely coincidental...lol. :) [cheers]
The real question is why does the RU AD have so many moles? Was it not just a few months ago that someone resigned under force for leaking info about JH?
Frankly I do not understand how RU manages to maintain such a large fifth column at all times that is never fully routed.

I wonder if it's possible that the sports reporting fraternity might start to turn on the SL. In general they stand up for each other. But there is no doubt that there are individual reporters who have disagreed with the SL's sensationalist reporting in the past going all the way back to the Mulchay smearing, and these have not condoned damaging the state U to gain a readership bump. And they have watched in distaste as the SL has drummed up scandal after scandal, none of them amounting to anything. Any of these reporters could do the same thing...sensationalize everything and pray they can fool some outside journalistic organizations into giving them an award. But most don't because they have a sense of fairness. And that is supposed to be important in a reporter. Seems that Dyer may be one of those; fed up with watching the SL get away unopposed taking cheap shot after cheap shot. It would be great if others followed suit.
