Talk:Rex M. Rogers

unreferenced content

I have shifted the following content here from the article-

In May of 2007 Dr. Rogers has announced his resignation to the Board. He will stay on until May of next year to help make the transition go smoothly. He will be leaving due in part to the contract dispute over his salary for the next year. Rogers asked for a deferment of his salary to be paid over a 10 year period with 15% interest on it. He was also looking for more perks and a huge retirement package worth an estimated $2.5 million.

In his final year Dr. Rogers will take home a salary worth $250,000 plus a benefits package that is costing the University $25,000 for the next 5 years.

As President of Cornerstone University, his administration saw the firing of Dr. Steve and of a Catholic man who wasn't eligible to work in the U.S.A. anyways. He will also be known as the President who built the new entrance that goes nowhere along with a clock tower that has improper proportions to the roof. He also backed the cutting of academic programs to keep costs down and force students to stay beyond the 4 year programs which they started. Many students are happy to see him leave, and have stated that they now feel the University will finally have a chance to really grow academically not athletically anymore.

Rogers has worked over the past few years to cut the schools budget to save money for his retirement account. He worked to cut the technology budget down that the laptop program is going to be phased out in a few years. He runs the accounting of the school worse than the State of Michigan. He has appointed his cronies to over see accounting which has led to financial losses over the past few years.

Please note that we require reliable sources to back up what is being said in the article, and the above sentences lack references. If suitable references are found, feel free to put back the content into the article. regards, xC | ☎ 05:59, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Rex M Rogers leaves Cornerstone University presidency

After more than sixteen years of successful leadership and administration, Dr. Rex M. Rogers announced May 8, 2007, that he would leave the presidency of Cornerstone University by the end of May, 2008. He opted for a one year transition to give the Board of Trustees ample time to conduct a national search for the next president. Rogers and the Board of Trustees part company with mutual affirmations of support. No salary disputes ever occurred. References to salary and retirement packages in the earlier comment in this Wikipedia section are patently false in every detail. President Rogers was not asked to leave; indeed, several trustees wanted him to continue in the presidency. Dr. Rogers and the current Chairman of the Board, Mr. Daniel R. Wielhouwer, are trusted friends and confidantes, and individual trustees offered to serve as references for Dr. Rogers when he interviewed with other organizations.

Dr. Rogers is attributed with building the university's reputation, growing enrollment substantially, adding programs and raising professional standards, and leading the school through several key changes, including a name change, a move from college to university status, and an overall increase in quality. Rogers was also respected for his writing and for his work in radio, including his radio program and newspaper column, "Making a Difference." Rogers will be remembered for his oft-quoted phrase, "spiritual discernment," describing his understanding of how to live the Christian life, as a person with the strength to make sometimes difficult and needed decisions, and as an entreprenuerial and visionary leader.Rekniht (talk) 16:59, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
