Would USM administrators have communicated this information to anyone who hadn’t insisted on answers, even to the extent of taking them through the Courts?  Ask for information and learn for yourself.  Furthermore, if USM administrators and their attorneys are confident that they have corrected or are correcting USM Foundation mismanagement (or worse), why have they spent tens of thousands of dollars to keep information hidden?  If USM’s Foundation were indeed okay, I suspect they would welcome public inspection instead of spending public funds to hide details of USM Foundation activities.
USM administrators must now live with what they have created. They have, over the years, created and continue to create an environment of distrust.  In order to overcome the long history they will have to prove that the Foundation is indeed “okay.” They will have to establish trust with the same single-mindedness with which they destroyed it.
Consider an example of administrative overreaching that can be accessed with a freedom of information request as a guage of what is hidden in Foundation "booze accounts."
