Btw, Threepointer (or anybody who knows): was Robin Mamlet actually fired by Stanford? I sure hope so, but I can't find any articles about her departure. Did they gently nudge her out while giving her the privilege of positioning it, or did they actually just fire her?

When departure is associated with "spending more time with family...blah, blah,blah" it's typically the code for "I was let go."  This lame figure of speech has, of course, become a cliche. When it's a Stanford higher-up, (an unindicted one), it is typically associated with a dignified nudge.

As I noted in another thread, I was a member of the Athletic Board - not really a decision maker.  But I did get to work with Bill Walsh and Bob Bowlsby, a real honor for me.  

I have observed that in these big non-profit boards, most of the board members are donors.  Not many doers.  I am the latter.  I do and I did.   I was tasked with the financial review project and used that forum to highlight some "issues."  I have no idea if Mamlet was officially "let go."  But she was probably smart enough to read the writing on the wall after Eubanks was done with Etchemendy.
