I think it's A.D. of "university relations," if I'm not mistaken. Is this a fancy way of saying "PR Man?" If so, that's a bit like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse, if you ask me...
But he also has his own company of sorts, even if in name only, as it is noted as the source for numerous campaign contributions (his other "title" gave more but I did see this as well)...

I am sure he has done well for himself. He was a smart guy. Look at how he manuvered himself into the headmasters job, moved Joe aside, brought in an expert to say Joe had to go then had the old man dumped. It was all very shrewed. The question I have is "Why" It makes no sense to me. Did he have some messianic view of himself? OR was he like that character in the movie "In the Company of Men" He did it as a game to see it he could?
A lot of people from back then love him still. I am not one of them. I just find it ironic that some one that would preach such lofty sermons would end up doing something so quodidian as the front man for a commuter school.

It would not take too much of an expert to come up with the Joe-Had-To-Go conclusion. Although, I am sure he paid dearly for it. And I wouldn't rule out a messiah complex, either. Because he had to have highly occlusive blinders on, it was stupid; Hyde was Joe's game.
Notwithstanding the inalienable right Ed Legg and his family have to their particular version of the pursuit of happiness, what he did to me sucked pure sulphuric acid. I have an absolutely visceral response to even seeing his name in print, and I suspect I am not alone in that. He really should be held accountable for the countless lives he has ruined.
Although he certainly has a rather dogmatic way of thinking, I like to hope that he is still capable of a crisis of conscience. Let us hope so, even if only for the sake of his soul.

It is really funny how two different people can have a complete opposite view of the same thing and both be correct. You talk to some of the people he inspired or the guys on that 14-0 football team he coached, and they will tell you he was the greatest thing since Jesus Christ. And to them it is true. He never screwed them. The same thing is true about Joe. When you talk to people that are still invested in hyde you have to becareful about what you say. I made the mistake of saying something negative about Ed to one person who just glares at me now. Joe, Ed and Co. had some god like power over kids lifes. You know, I wonder what it was that made Joe back hand one girl and think another was his personal Helen Keller-esque victory. I know what happened to one of them. I wonder if the girl he back handed turned out any better.

Or the former graduate he saw fit to make his own personal Lolita? whilst still married to Blanche, I?ve heard.
It all boils down to a flagrant abuse of power. These people are so drunk on themselves that they step over the line right and left and any which way you look at it. None of this has any business happening in an institution ostensibly created for the purpose of educating kids.
And the kids don?t know any better. You are at a time of your life where you are oh-so-impressionable and confused about a LOT of things, and you have grownups passing themselves off as the closest thing to Gandhi, filled with all sorts of high falutin? ideals about character. And the next thing you know, you piss one of them off or do the wrong tihing and you branded as essentially and integrally and totally a failure for life... That there is something wrong with you at the CORE... Who are these people passing such supreme judgement?
Character, my ass. I say cult cult cult.
