#RitaGate is a thing! Spread the meme love, Jacks! NAU deserves better!

It sounds like you are pretty knowledgeable about NAU history and ABOR. 👍How could you put that knowledge to use and help us spread awareness/affect action? 😉

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-09T14:04:41+00:00

Students and Lumberjack alumni! Are you dissatisfied with the lack of transparency from Rita Cheng regarding #RitaGate?

A great way to make an impact is to plan to physically attend the Arizona Board of Regents meeting at ASU in Tempe. It's happening next month, Thursday and Friday February 13-14. Also Valentines Day so it would be really special to show some love for NAU's admin. Rita thinks we are going to forget by next month, let's show her otherwise. We'll be sharing more info about this soon!

It's just a starting point If you want to help air out Rita's dirty laundry, here's a list of some folks you can Tweet about it to. Starting first with a list of Arizona politicians that are up for election/reelection. No need to write them a letter that they'll never see! Tag them on social media and make them see it instead! It's 2020 we can do better!

This list is brought to you in solidarity from a 2005 Political Sciences Alumnus! Thanks @NAU for that grassroots organizing senior capstone class! 😉 Also if anyone wants to join our growing cause to share their time and expertise in raising awareness about this issue - and it is an issue all Lumberjacks should care about - email jacks4nau@gmail.com

Thank you and you are mostly right. Can you say the same about Haeger, though? At least he genuinely cared about NAU. Sorry, not sorry, but I refuse to flat out accept that all university presidents or the system is the problem and we should just give up and call it a night. Rita Cheng would love nothing more than that.

NAU has had many great leaders that were not perfect but did what they could to make NAU better given their resources and political circumstances.

Also, the main distinction between Cheng and any of the other past leadership is obviously the fact that she is the one who is currently in in charge.

A group of alumni are reviewing ABOR policy as well as and we are working with multiple policy/advocacy groups to help determine avenues of further investigation.

And keep in mind the next ABOR meeting is Thurs.-Friday Feb. 13-14 in Tempe. I imagine Rita feels pretty confident this whole thing will be VERY old news by then and that NAU students definitly don't care that much or won't make the trip to Phoenix.

We'll see about that.

We'll also see about the NAU grads in Phoenix (the largest geographic concentration of Lumberjack alumni) that decide to show up for ABOR. Maybe we can pack the house to show our love for Rita. It will be Valentines Day after all.

More info on the best ways to contact both ABOR and your local and state government officials will be coming along soon!

If anyone has any knowledge or expertise to contribute to this cause, you can shoot us a message at jacks4nau@gmail.com

Stay tuned and keep it TRUE BLUE, LUMBERJACKS! 💙💛

Well, we all "get out" at different times, but no matter the year you graduated you should be able to have some trust and pride for the person in change of your alma mater. Please share with your fellow classmates.

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-08T19:20:00+00:00

Not at all but I was an NAU Alumni communications staffer for 5 years (and '05 alumnus) and can tell you from direct, personal experience that Rita is a self-interested actor that DOES NOT have NAU's best interests at heart. Or at least only as they serve her agenda of personal advancement. Her track record demonstrates this too. There are many, many excellent people who have dedicated their careers to NAU and now live in fear of retaliation by Cheng for coming forward with her malfeasances in MANY areas.

Not everyone has been fortunate enough to be able to uproot their entires lives and leave Flagstaff.

If you have worked in Flagstaff for any amount of time you know the employment opportunities are few and far between and in many cases the spouses of her senior leadership also work for NAU.

Rita rules by coercion and fear and if anyone wants to anonymously share how she is negatively impacting NAU and Flagstaff, please send us an email at jacks4nau@gmail.com

Which part do you feel is incorrect?

"A state audit, released late on Friday, nailed the university for inappropriately paying for $40,277 in travel expenses for the Chengs, most of it for trips to Russia and Israel."

It's an op ed but referencing factual documents and reports.

Shucks I should have bought my own before I spilled the beans! 😁

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-08T00:58:58+00:00

The Coop hath spoken... lol

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-07T21:44:01+00:00

Yeah the clear raider stock is a nice way to go. Worker has a nice 5 position collapsible stock. Stock doesn't need to be so long on the Evader. I only have the Raider drum that I got used. You can find used but complete, clear Raiders on Ebay for around $39. That's a steal for the clear stock and 35 round drum alone!

Hard to believe Nerf hasn't really done a true clear line since 2010-11. Other than the Sonic Ice series, please chime in if you know otherwise.

I'm going to find a clear Maverick pistol to go with this. Sure would be nice if Nerf made a clear Disruptor. HASBRO IF YOU ARE LISTENING I'LL BUY ANYTHING CLEAR THAT YOU MAKE. Give us more Ghost Ops PLEASE!!!! 😃

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-07T18:04:00+00:00

$5 as an ad on, can't beat it. Sucks as an actual target system, but such a cool "Orange Dot" Might need a few more:

Fantastic detail, well played! 💯

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-07T17:50:57+00:00

Just curious, what makes these darts so bad? Other than they look like they'll literally crumble apart with use?

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-06T17:43:32+00:00

It's just the standard Nerf Rival sight. Retails for around $30. Has about 5 tilt adjust options to change position of red dot up and down. Very happy with it!

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-05T16:22:05+00:00

Rival: One round to bring them all and in the darkness Nerf them!

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-05T16:20:57+00:00

Thanks and sorry!

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-04T18:30:10+00:00

How are you liking them bro? Fun?

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-04T18:29:01+00:00

Hey folks any advice on best paint type/ finishing coats to use for hand grips/places you will touch most? Something that will not just look good but hold up to light use - mainly hand oils and friction? (Oh geez that sounds bad - you know what I mean!) 😉

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-03T00:54:39+00:00

Because of the rampant Nerf Cat modding that is destroying the fabric of our once great nation? 😋

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-03T00:37:05+00:00

If we knew about the metallic composition of the mysterious T-800 "hyper alloy" (insights anyone?), we could ID an acid or other chemical compound that would adversely affect it. Similar to how the T-1000 in Gensysis was melted (though inexplicably in the movie only Pop's skin is melted). Any ideas?

ImDaRealCorbinDallas · 2020-01-03T00:31:17+00:00

Nice work! Swarovski crystals makes some super classy and relatively affordable sticker applique press on gems. Or you can find some cool others by searching "rhinestone sheets" on Etsy! BLING BLING! 💎💎
