Joint Performance Review (JPR) — Nov. 12, 2019 (35:34)

I've had a lot of people that you've rubbed the wrong way come to me and talk, and you've given good responses about your leadership, and I appreciate that. But why should you remain in the director's role at ASMSA?

and even one allegation that I received said that you misused some grant funds for another program and your response and this is just what I heard from them your response was well I haven't been caught yet and so would you please describe your leadership style because some of these other folks have a different perspective, and I'd appreciate just a self-definition.

Joint Performance Review (JPR) — Nov. 12, 2019 (20:29)

from different places, but I don't know that for sure. Follow-up, sir? Follow-up? Okay, I appreciate that, and I think you've put some processes in place that can make things safer, safeguard the information, but a lot of times these groups will test to see how vulnerable a system is

Legislative Joint Auditing - Educational Institutions — Dec. 12, 2019 (14:46)

have you all been able to trace back where maybe the hackers or collective, hacker collective, are gathering, or is this just broad all over the map? My instinct tells me it's broad all
