In stock market terms, what Randa Ryan did when she spent $28,000 of university money on items from her own store was a form of insider dealing. It’s illegal. The feds have sent people to prison for it.

“Texas just doesn’t get it,” writes the daily’s Kirk Bohls. “Where’s the accountability? I’m betting Charlie Strong would suspend Randa indefinitely.”
He might, if Randa were a student football player, but otherwise political correctness may be stronger than Strong at THE university.
