Mike, many posters have often referenced the Geier Case as a reason for why Middle Tennessee has not developed academically the way it could have if academic restrictions were not imposed. Certainly, the Geier Case was a major impediment to the University's development but on September 11, 2006, Gov. Phil Bredesen announced that the parties to the case felt that the state had met the lawsuit's challenge (see link). So without the restrictions of the Geier Case, how do you see Middle Tennessee developing academically over the next 10-20 years and do you believe it will take a new president for the University to reach its full potential?
