The May 3rd no confidence memo signed by Dr. Rezai and others ended with an expression of hope and the desire for dialogue with the leadership of the medical center as well as reassurance from the highest levels of university university leadership. That Dr. Rezai’s departure is announced more than four months later seems to indicate that the leadership of the university and the medical center have not been responsive and that Dr. Rezai’s patience was finally exhausted. It seems clear that the problem is at least as much with the highest leels of the university as it is with the leadership of the medical center.

Woody Hayes used to say, “You’re either getting better or you’re getting worse.” The news from the medical center is not encouraging. With every departure, recruiting at the medical center becomes more difficult. At the medical center, things are getting worse.
