Loftin has been the public face of the University since he got here - whenever there's a public statement, it's from him.
And when the Email was sent out, it was from the Chancellor's office (again, all University employees rec'd it). But that's simply a delegation of responsibility issue within the University. Loftin is the public statement guy; Wolfe is an administrator. Why would it have made a difference who's friggen inbox the email came from?
Mostly, you pretty much already 'know' whatever it is you want to know. You're as interested in actual dialogue as the fools that essentially shouted Wolfe down when he gave his poorly phrased response to the systematic racism question.
What this pretty much shows is that you have to be a politician at pretty much all executive levels these days. To this point, nobody has given examples of any policies enacted or condoned by Wolfe or the University that would rise to the level of systematic racism. This is nothing more than Wolfe having done a poor job of making a group of pissed off 20 yr olds feel like they've been heard. If Wolfe were a better statesman, this doesn't happen. Frankly, I have no interest in career statesman holding every high-level state office but they'd at least give people like you the warm fuzzies.
