All I know about Perlman is what I've heard from friends and family who 
have dealt with him personally, and it's generally not favorable.  I 
would like to see someone investigate the dealings of the chancellor and 
the athletic department to the extent that the World Herald investigated 
*Nancy Belck at UNO last year.  Something just does not seem right about 
how Pederson's contract extension and Callahan's subsequent contract 
extension were handled, and it all started with Harvey Perlman.  Harvey 
seems like a classic example of the "peter principle." He was probably 
perfectly well-suited in his position as dean of the college of Law, but 
not fully prepared for the complete responsibilities of his current 
position.

I would probably ease off on this one if he would distance himself from 
Steve Pederson, but that is not something he has done to this point.  
Until he does, I think this is where the pressure needs to be placed.
