ACTUAL RECENTLY SENT EMAIL WITH RECIPIENT’S REAL NAME CHANGED TO SUSAN
Howdy Terrific Fellow Aggie Susan:
As you know I love TAMU and have given very generously to many of its groups in the Houston area. Susan, you have wondered about Texas Governor Greg Abbott and in your last email asked who Ed Blair is with an apparent wonderment as to the Abbott link. To answer your query once for you and many others, Ed Blair was the Graduate Student Advisor in the Marketing Department at U of H as explained in the attachment. After a PhD Marketing student “who got close to him,” Valerie, divorced her husband, she married him while a student and she got her PhD Marketing. However, there was a string of other PhD Marketing students (including me) who did not approve of the crud. At least a few never got their doctorates from anywhere and U of H was beating its chest that it was so great that rarely could anyone get a PhD in Business from there, which if you continue to read this message was crap.
Regarding other crud that was taking place, 6+ doctoral students were expected to sign up for doctoral level classes before or at the very beginning of a term (six students in a class were required for state funding) and drop the classes during the second week before a payment was due or a drop appeared on their transcripts. Meanwhile, three-day class rosters were submitted to the state for funding.
When the state paid more than students, two bogus classes (with no actual students) yielded more revenue than one real class (with actual students). According to the U of H faculty no one lost and faculty were being helped, since they could do more research to boost rankings. (Personally, it looked to me like spending time on golf courses and getting sexually serviced by one’s own students were considered “research.”)
As for other faculty at U of H, they followed Ed Blair by sleeping with their students while the students were under their jurisdictions and George Zinkhan (a marketing professor when I was there who at times sat in his office in just his underwear with door partially open) after taking a promotion at the University of Georgia went on a killing spree there with FBI involved. Gee, are those at the University of Georgia supposed to praise U of H and suggest to U.S. News & World Report that it move U of H into its Top 100 National Universities List like it did my Ohio State, TAMU and Saint Louis University as shown in its just released 2027 rankings? Personally, I am grateful that it put my other universities into its Top 100 National University List and NOT U of H, but while those at the University of Georgia and others might want to recommend that U of H belongs there, I have more respect for U.S. News & World Report than doing so.
Susan, as for me, I did earn one PhD but only after leaving the U of H hellhole. (An outside professor who had once been there promised me that if I transferred to his higher ranked school, I would only need to take three classes to meet a residency requirement and write a dissertation to get a PhD but reneged and left me hanging.) Thus, I never got even one of the two doctorates from U of H, which I set out to get after earning an MS from our beloved TAMU (which ran a “clean show” like my Ohio State where I went from New Jersey after it accepted me into its honors program, and waived all of my English and a year of Calculus requirements based on my ACT scores), despite taking ALL of the courses on my U of H PhD Marketing degree plan and even an extra one after U of H bait and switched my degree plan.
As for Saint Louis University I ended up taking a full load of doctoral classes but not the same ones as I had taken at U of H since they intentionally did their best to structure my program so I would take “fresh” rather than “repeat” classes. Yet, like Ohio State and TAMU, Saint Louis University (the first university west of the Mississippi River, and home of the Nobel Prize Discovery of Vitamin K) ran a “clean show.” Therefore, Susan, I really have at least TWO earned doctorates but only one to show. You can read more about the crap, on the attached, which Abbott seemingly thought was so absolutely fantastic that he ostensibly rewarded U of H with a medical school so it can now abort babies when faculty get the students under their jurisdictions pregnant?
In contrast to entirely offering a four-year medical degree in the Texas Medical Center vicinity, teasip Abbott has (if I am correct and, if not, I am willing to learn) penalized TAMU by at least the first year of all of its MD degree programs having to be completed in Bryan, which arguably has the best hamburgers in USA at its Chicken Oil Company, but less prestige than the Texas Medical Center when it comes to patients and healthcare resources? As for teasip Abbott’s “TU,” it (according to Copilot) has word for word “The Seven UT Medical Schools: 1) The Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long University of Texas School of Medicine at San Antonio, 2) The University of Texas at Austin – Dell Medical School, 3) The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston – McGovern Medical School, 4) The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston – John Sealy School of Medicine, 5) The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine – Edinburg, TX, 6) The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center – Dallas, TX and 7) The University of Texas Tyler School of Medicine – Tyler, TX.”
Under Abbott, U of H got an entire four-year medical program in the Texas Medical Center vicinity, but what about TAMU which was the first public, land grant university in Texas? Has teasip Abbott sought to relegate TAMU’s MD degree programs, as much as he can, to Bryan? And what about the other TAMU campuses? If “TU” has seven medical campuses, why does not the first public, land grant institution in Texas (i.e., TAMU) have more? After all, is not PVAMU (which is part of the TAMU system) the second oldest public institution of higher education in Texas but Abbott did not give it a medical school, did he?
Regarding Ed Blair, he got promoted and as a government employee (whose salary you help pay for) received according to Open Payrolls $386,820.36 in 2025. According to this same source “This is 400.8 percent higher than the average pay for coworkers and 399.6 percent higher than the national average for government employees.” Is that supposed to make the honest, ethical, hardworking faculty at other institutions in Texas happy, and have the media across Texas singing the Abbott praises?
Personally, I believe that the other PhD Marketing students, at the time when I was at U of H, who did not receive the doctorates they sought, should along with me receive U of H’s recently introduced DBA degree, especially since a DBA is considered “weaker” than a PhD and unlike a PhD is sometimes given as “honorary.” However, Susan, I also believe those degrees should be shown as “earned” not “honorary,” since after all Valerie Blair got her degree, as did the recent Katy ISD superintendent who submitted a plagiarized (previously submitted to Liberty University by a different individual) dissertation as his own, and since even during the Summer of 2026 U of H seemingly had a pedophile faculty member with inappropriate pictures, according to multiple news reports. This is in addition to a U of H drama professor previously murdering his student when she tried to end their affair, but HUGE no-bid-contract-awarding Abbott (and LARGE PAC Recipient Abbott) likely thinks these events were wonderful?
Susan, my feeling on the “nobody loses if you sign up for and drop bogus courses,” which I refused to do (never dated a current or former student of mine, at any school, either and have kept my marriage vows to my wife), I will go to my grave believing that what Ken Lay (a model student according to U of H faculty when he headed its Board of Regents) did in terms of the allegations that he (1) promoted secretaries who sexually gratified him and (2) fudged earnings to Wall Street are EXACTLY what he learned and supported when he was a doctoral student at what many still refer to as “Cougar High.” While I disagree with U of H faculty on just about everything, I DEFINITELY AGREE with them that Enron’s Ken Lay was a REMARKABLE, MODEL student.
Yes, Susan, you and everyone copied on this email may think Governor Grab-It (name Michael Berry appropriately, in my opinion, gave Abbott) is WONDERFUL but I do NOT. Nor do I think much of the Abbott administration’s Dannie Goeb (Dan Patrick’s birth name) helping to get THREE FELONY INDICTMENTS dismissed against Ken Paxton, or the Greg Abbott appointed judge Grant Dorfman’s dismissing many of the JeremiahCounsel.org motions against Homer Edwin Young et. al. (who many believe stole the voting rights of 94,000+ Second Baptist members and illegitimately, dictatorially seized a billion-plus-dollars of the assets Second Baptist Members had sacrificed to make happen).
In addition to what is on the attached, I do not think much of the Young Group story, which its members have loved telling, on multiple occasions, about how Homer Edwin Young’s first wife did not like their family’s pet gerbil so Homer took it outside and threw it as far and as hard as he could. To me it represented very grievous animal cruelty. Susan, his actions led me to write a children’s book entitled “The Wisdom of the Gerbil” since after a female gerbil chooses one of her male suitors, the couple together build a nest, then together raise their offspring until their children depart their home and stay monogamously committed to each other for life. To me the gerbil belongs with King Solomon’s small but wise animals meaning ants which store their food in summer, locusts which march in ranks, coneys/rock badgers which make their homes in rocks and depending on translation of Bible either spiders or lizards which find their way into palaces. [Cockroaches do as well, but I have yet to write a book entitled “The Wisdom of the Cockroach.” :)]
Possibly you remember that Homer had billboards all around Houston with a self-serving picture and the words “The Autobiography of God: The Complete Story.” Those billboards sure seem to me that he wanted people to worship him as God, with his being the complete story and the 66-book Protestant Bible, 73-book Catholic Bible and even the 88-book Ethiopian Orthodox Bible being just part of an infinite God’s story, with he, Ed Young, being the Infinite One. 🙁
Susan, I realize that you and all of the others copied on this note may admire Abbott’s exceptionally large PAC reservoir and Ed Young’s seemingly fraudulently filching the voting rights of 94,000+ and more than a billion dollars in assets, as well as Paxton getting to supposedly keep his 15 homes gained by committing felonies, but I do NOT. And yes, I realize that I will be the Registered Republican further stalked, harassed, defamed, lied about, victimized, and gaslighted in this life, for saying what I just said, along with what is on the attached and on my posts, with my being further ostracized rather than admired by those in the media and at legitimate institutions. Similarly, I also realize that it is unlikely that any will go to bat on my behalf.
Nevertheless, my Lord Jesus Christ will ultimately avenge and reward me, a person who has likely already read the entire 66-book Bible more than 100 times in this life (at least once per year for 40+ years and in many years 4+ times so very likely more than 100 times, with my reading the 73-book Catholic Bible and 88-book Ethiopian Orthodox Bible more times than counted and even the 210-Book Holy Bible, Apocrypha and Ancient History Master Collection twice, since once last year and once already this year), who has written multiple bestselling books using the “Alan Bruce Clark PhD” and “Christian Bruce Clark PhD” names (and who, while unlike the Lord Jesus Christ, is not perfect has done his best to come clean and make amends where wrong). As you know, Susan, I respect and love TAMU and am doing my best to help it thrive so individuals like talented Mike Iscovitz’s daughter now attending TAMU will have a great experience there. Gig ‘em.
Cordially yours,
Bruce
