[edit] Removal from AU

I've tried to restructure this article to make it easier for editors to add more about his life and not just lazily tacked-on updates about his alleged embezzlement. mholland 17:39, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

there's no reason this should be wikitexas, removing that tag. 76.100.66.8 08:11, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

In re: to mholland: The end of Ladner's tenure as American University President will be the most important thing that ever happens to his career, in his life, and is a huge stain on the reputation of the school itself. I think those portions deserve more attention. Disagree? Do a simple Google Search for "benjamin ladner" and I think you'll agree that overwhelming press attention surrounding the matter justifies a little more wordage on the matter here. Frankly, who gives a damn about his roots in Mobile Alabama or wherever given his professional indiscretions? It'd be like writing a biography on Bill Clinton and not mentioning impeachment...

mholland's edits seem appropriate given the previous patchwork-style of the article. It's much more organized now and flows better. If the community deems the resignation more important, then the issue with be expanded or reference made in the intro. Also, please remember to sign your name to comments. ---- Sententia (talk) 20:38, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
