UTB'S JULIET GARCIA'S DREAMS OF PERSONAL EMPIRE BARED

A little-known architectural rendering of University of Texas at Brownsville President Juliet Garcia's plan for personal empire have been released to this blog.
In nit, the drawings envision a UTB future worthy of the most ambitions plans that Albert Speer might have designed for his boss Adolph.
We have also learned that Garcia has embarked on a campaign of self-beatification by sending camera crews to do interviews with personages in New York City and other urban centers who will sing her praises for the benefit of future generations to come. Do the UT Regents know of these self-serving expenditures? And did they approve?
We all know that there have been rumors of at least two or three miracles necessary to make her a saint. Fortune Magazine naming her as on of the 50 World's Greatest Leaders in the world could count as one.
The magazine stated that "GarcĂ­a has utterly reengineered educational opportunities for Hispanics in South Texas, forging, in 1991, the innovative partnership between a community college and the UT system, and helping create UT-Rio Grande Valley, opening in 2015. Ford Foundation president Darren Walker lauds her "rare capacity" for bridging grassroots and elites."
They somehow overlooked a disastrous 17 percent graduation rate for students over six years, a freshman retention rate of less than 50 percent, the highest tuition and student fees in the State of Texas, and a dismal academic achievement of the "partnership" where it didn't even rank among Tier 3 schools in the country. That and the fact that she allowed the UT System to siphon an estimated $1 billion from the poorest community in the United States over 22 years through local taxation and bond indebtedness to subsidize the UT System made her a persona non grata in Brownsville, Los Fresnos and Port Isabel.
Someone said that another miracle could be the transformation of a $68 million bond issue approved by the voters that she transformed – a la five loaves and the two fish –  into $123 million.
Those grandiose plans depicted in her Master Plan, alas, never came to fruition, partly because the local taxpayers of the college district had had enough and voted in TSC trustees to oust her from the trough. But there were enough true believers out there who wouldn't have minded doing away with the community college and hand over the 85-year investment of the district taxpayer to make her dreams come true. Doubtlessly, they would have testified to her goodness.
Then there was the testimony of the UTB-TSC custodial staff who saw her walking across the Ft. Brown Resaca in a swirling mist as she looked over the domain in the wee hours of the morning.
Saint Julieta is a shoo-in. Her plans for the UTB's Third Reich will probably remain unseen by us mere mortals because they will be built behind the glow of the Pearly Gates.

Aunt J. Saddled the taxpayers with millions of bucks in the pursuit as a front to "educate" us Nacos; but in essence she facilitated her Cronies to becoming millionaires; left us lowly peons saddled with the tab. In yesterday's Pravda headlines, "Aunt J. Named the most powerful Naca in the world. Putin and the KGB are keeping close surveillance. Putin fears for his position.

If the rumors of the video of Juliet are true, then it appears that the UT System is about to make her the new Chancellor and are making a bullshit video to play to the world the self-serving events in the career of Julieta Garcia. Wow, the UT System has really been fooled....just like the Brownsville community was fooled by her self-serving efforts here and misuse of tax dollars. The loser was the students and the public.....while she wallowed in the puny accolades.

This extravagant fantasy of Garcia U would make a hilarious reality show if it wasn't so desperately sad and perverse. The woman has gone off the deep end. It is embarassing to watch. She's like that guy Sterling with the Clippers. Someone needs to shut them up for their own good!

Don't suspect that the UTSystem is any great admirer of Julieta; she has as many enemies as friends in Austin.
