Video begins in the Field House. Jeff Rosen and Paul Singleton are celebrating. Rosen said it was inevitable. Video cuts to assorted people making quick statements of excitement about the demands being met and their victory. The four leaders come to the stage. They rally everyone up. Tim says one week ago they received the announcement about Dr. Zinser and now one week later they have won in the appointment of Dr. Jordan. Greg explains how exactly he got the news. He was dragged to Ole Jim and met with Phil Bravin on the TTY who told him several things. First, Dr. Jordan was appointed president. Second, that Spilman was no longer chair nor was she a member of the Board any longer. Third, that they were creating a task force to eventually reach the 51% majority deaf on the board. Fourth, that there will be no reprisals. Tim adds that their additional gift has been the selection of Bravin as chair of the Board. Celebration continues over the victory.
