Richard Carpenter

March 5, 2008 – 8:45 pm

As Techdirt put it: “A new Chancellor was selected to lead a Community College District in northern Harris County, Texas. A critical blog was set up to blast the new Chancellor, who quickly had IT block it on all campus computers. As these things always do, it backfired. The college was sued, forced to unblock the blog, and thanks to the media attention, now everyone in Houston knows about the blog.” Didn’t quite work the way he expected, huh? One would imagine that the blog got barely any traffic prior to this. Perhaps ignoring it would have been a better option.

The blog in question: richardcarpenterwatch.blogspot.com

    The blog at richard-carpenter-watch.blogspot.com is run by a small group of misfits, many of whom had axes to grind when Richard G Carpenter got rid of deadwood at the College of Southern Nevada; who post anonymously to the blog with lies, distortions, and innuendo; and who deal in cowardly deception instead of telling the whole truth. Richard G Carpenter was one of the best things to happen to the College of Southern Nevada. We came out of the dark ages under his leadership. Anyone who attempts to use data from the richard-carpenter-watch.blogspot.com will find 98% of the allegations are unverifiable and smeer tactics. The blog’s leader is Sherry Rosenthal, a 50′s something wannabe, who deals in filth and misery.

    Richard Carpenter is an overpaid carsales person that offers less. Kills creativity and freedom in the academic environment by pushing a corporate profit model that serves few but him and his roaming band of cronies. Simply pathetic that town after town has paid him more and more to do the same and move on. The end of which is a college district that scrambles back to it’s academic goals to do what the college is supposed to do…serve the community; namely the students. If he wants a job as such he should be in corporate america but his wit and intelligence lacking he prays on the boards of districts whose first job, income, is already satisfied. He is truely pathetic. It is a shame academics are not in charge of our college districts. It is to the destriment of his faculty and student body that he continues to thrive.
