Having seen the way that Daniel Goldin operated as the administrator of NASA, it shouldn’t be any surprise that he would try to drive John Silber out. Looks like Silber has only now recognized that fact, and is trying to stop the show.
I think it shows that Goldin is really the right guy for BU, because Silber really does need to go away and let the university move on. If they dump Goldin now, they might as well just declare Silber as President for Life.
