A thoughtful comment submitted to Juan Montoya's El Rrun Rrun blog and signed "El Pinche Gringo":
The recent Herald articles expose the deep division at UTB. Artibise shoots off his mouth about the massive layoffs that are coming and the UT Chancellor issues a stinging public rebuke. Nothing new in what Artibase said, it was just not said to the public before. UTB Transition Team wants to control what is said to the public and keep trying to muzzle the local people.
When the public becomes aware of just how small UTB will be after the split, the carefully polished image of Julieta as a leader will go south very quickly.
Often institutional leaders go on massive building binges shortly before they retire, so they will leave a "legacy". Julieta over reached on her 100 million dollar plus legacy and history will regard that as the beginning of the end for her and UTB.
When the "partnership" was formed and Julieta was allowed to remain as TSC President as well as President of UTB, that was a massive conflict of interest. In the end she sold TSC out in favor of her UT dreams. TSC and the property owners of Cameron County were the cash cows to fund her vanity.
If you want a real story, take a look at how the UT Faculty and Staff will be chosen to be fired. They will be "voted off the island" by their peers. One entire Department issued a No Confidence vote in the administration over the method. Where have you seen that in print?
Julieta has a carefully crafted and polished image as a superior leader. But the truth is she is in way over her head and her lack of competence has created this mess. She managed to kick the can down the road for almost 20 years, but when the new TSC Board refused to bend over and grab their ankles, her house of cards came tumbling down.
Many folks will go their graves still swearing she was a gift from God to Brownsville, but that just isn't so. She is a Brownsville girl who maneuvered her way into a position of power. She has the "ganas" but she didn't have the "como".
