It's Happened Again...a Violation Of Your Privacy

FirefightnRick · October 18, 2015

Its happened again....as it happened to me....as I warned you all would happen to you. Adrien Nettles(most likely suspect) of the URCM department has forwarded some of your private emails to President Smatresk concerning RV and his department......to RV himself.

This is a direct violation of your trust and privacy by this university. Just curious,....if this is or is not grounds for a lawsuit if someone or the group affected by it wanted to pursue it in order to demand a change to get it corrected?

I think you have to be able to claim there were damages of some sort to sue someone. I dont think forwarding the emails alone justifies damages. Im not a lawyer - but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express like 2 months ago. Now if you were somehow discriminated against based on those emails - I think you would then have a case.

I have no problem with this. If I could get an audience with RV I would voice my displeasure directly to him too. I emailed President Smatresk because he's the one RV reports to.

Sources are telling me of individuals it's happening to.

For me personally..I sent a letter to Rawlins about concerns I had of various degrees. After typing out my email I pushed "Send"...got up and walked to the kitchen....poured myself a cup of coffee and about two sips in and my cell phone rang with Rick wanting to know what my problem was? So for the next hour and fourty five minutes......I told him.

I received a 1187 word email from RV on Friday after sending an email to the President and his cabinet.

Yes

Maybe it's Smatresk forwarding the emails to RV with a opening comment along the lines of "C'mon Rick! You see the type of crap that's filling up my inbox because of you? Get things straightened out. I've had it." Maybe?

Now that is hilarious.

RV is even responding to some people who wrote emails. I mean, what else does he have to do, right?

This is the most small time operation of any major university that I have ever heard of.

Its no surprise we are constant losers with management of this quality. Just makes you shake your head and laugh.

This is why not North Texas.

Yes, so president Samtresk is sharing with RV, who is running to his protectors and letting them read the emails.

And we wonder why we are the worst football team in FBS history. Literally.

I would take it as a compliment that anyone in the Athletic Dept thinks you are important enough that he or she needs to respond directly to your complaint.

As I have said before, I have outlasted every person who has worked in the athletic department. Sometimes it takes longer, MUCH longer than I would hope before some of these guys move on, but I will endure and so will my school and its teams.

All I can say is if the president needs e-mail from anyone to make the necessary move to remove an administrator who is not perform then I have bigger fears about the state of the university way beyond athletics. I look at RV failure as on par as getting a barely passable rating for sac accreditation for one of their academic programs. This is an absolute joke.

Was he playing the victim? Or just defending his incompetence? Or both?

Do you know who forwarded the email to RV?

I do not how he received he the email.

He mostly defended himself.

I know other people have received emails from him in the past. So I'm not some major player. Did he really need to defend himself vs little ole me and our blog though? He could've spent time elsewhere.

That's more than 4 times the length of the Gettysburg Address.

Which would you say was better?

Gettysburg address. Personally I've visited Gettysburg multiple times, the museums and battlefield. They are worth the trip.

Well said. No division 1 athletic program needs an AD so paranoid that he is responding to bloggers. As an AD you should be doing your job well enough that you have too many bloggers (passionate fans of the program) to respond to. Because when your program has always sucked for the most part very few people care.

Follow up question... It's about 150 words shorter than the Declaration of Independence.

Did your email from Rick by any chance mention a redress of grievances, or potentially breaking away to start his own university?

Dumb question... Did you ask that the e-mails not be forwarded? If not, I don't see how you expect "privacy" and for it not to be forwarded. I know if my boss got an e-mail saying I was doing a poor job, he would forward it to me and discuss it with me.

OTOH if you asked for it not to be forwarded, that's pretty lousy.

If I do share it will most likely be on our blog website Mean Green Nation and would address his response there. I don't believe Harry would want me posting it on here. I respect that.
