I will be surprised if the meetings with the Board of Trustees and MTL produce anything other than more frustration.

I would too unless some very large donors have expressed their displeasure with the decision to the BoT...

It is not impossible that the optics of this are so bad that the University "powers that be" are seriously considering walking this back. If they can figure a way to declare victory and not look "weak", I would give it a "possible" rating. The meeting with the BoT isn't going to allow "unstated double secret probation" reasons. It will have to be financial (which has been dealt with, more or less) or some other defined reason. That doesn't mean the "reason" will be one that others accept as a "good" one, but at least it will be known. Not holding my breath for a positive outcome.
