Glasser was incompetent and so amazingly in over her head . By the time she figured out she was miscast in the job …she aggressively tried to hide her insecurities and cover up complaints and failures. She was desperate to be thought of as a success or a leader. BU hired her without sufficient diligence but with her former colleagues sending letters to BU leaders predicting her poor performance, her patters of lashing out …and the incompetence she would be demonstrating. Those warnings were ignored.
JG made no secret about her courting the PJS for personal positive coverage and later leaking stories to her favorite sports reporters that were negative about coaches etc. Dangerously insecure and unprofessional.
As the pressure mounted the erratic and bizarre behavior increased by JG….she was desperate to be perceived as a success and wanted to be the most famous celebrity in Peoria. She was not attending to running the university and was fighting with the leadership team over the smallest things .
Her true downfall began when instead of answering board questions she began to take offense to the board actually performing governance functions and oversight. What began with a few true expert board members who called out financial oddities, odd un- approved actions by JG and a few others which only raised more concerns ….was followed by the first of two efforts by Glasser to attack and defame key board members.
The first wave was a bumbling effort by JG and was met with a precision response by one board member that proceeded to expose Glassers attacks and unauthorized actions to the rest of the Board. Then several board members immediately resigned in a noisy vote of no confidence and to try and high lite the risky position Glasser was putting the university in.
The second wave was Glassers attempt to again attack a board leader. Again she ran into complete professional board member who was a large supporter of the university. That board member had followed closely what the earlier board members had exposed before resigning. He responded to her attacks by exposing her further ..suggesting she needed further instruction and mentoring…..and when she protested……the board member resigned and took his donations with him. Glasser was fatally wounded…mostly self inflicted …and on her way out.
And that’s just scratching the surface ….
