Actually the place is not without hope.  There were a lot of good people of 
great character involved in this.  The process was awesome to see happen as it 
unfolded in time and I hold a lot of admiration for what was the courageous 
bravery of a lot of people who were attending to it at the different levels. 

 The formative values of our transcendental meditationist community here 
carried this change through. Principles in our deeper shared values as 
transcendentalists in community looked out for the place. 
  
 There are yet a lot of good people inside the University community.  The 
University is an ongoing institution. It is an academic institution with all 
the developed processes of faculty, administration, staff and standing facility 
of a mature established accredited program..  This change of leadership will 
bring a needed consequential change of personality to the institutional culture 
of the community.  

 Culture does not change overnight but this change likely will grant to good 
people who do remain the cover to come forward in safety enough to proceed to 
allow the University to attract other good people into its programs going 
forward.  Hagelin is at work now moving on trying to save the place with a hope 
in strategy to graduate classes of alumni who are well satisfied and enthused 
by their experience at the University.

 A beauty to a process of collecting ‘case’ narratives is that as there comes

related to particular policy and initiatives that could be taken to improve

Most of the Board, in most universities, have little to do with managing the 
institution, and are present mainly for their social status, their own 
financial support, or their ability to raise money. This kind of thing

Yes it is a new day for the University community now.  There was quite a lot of 
process involved in moving Bevan out as the University President.  By his own 
long affect Bevan effectively overthrew himself.  Fortunately he acquiesced 
without there having to be a larger shouting match at a trustees’ meeting.   It 
was performance metrics at the University and a lot of process that brought 
this about. 
 

 The result of a lot of process, at the end this was deliberated and handled by 
exec committee of the trustees and Tony Nader.  Bevan has been the leader of 
the place for 35 years and the organization well represented his personality of 
leadership.  Of necessity it had come time to change his leadership out.  In 
the end he undid himself by performance.  It was time he be relieved of the 
Presidency and sent emeritus in some way to where the 24/7 running of the 
University does not have to report to him anymore.

I think Bevan is going to be doing a *world-wide* good bye tour. He's coming to 
Houston later this week just to speak about *old times*, I guess. I have a 
feeling he'll be doing this a lot from now till then. So he probably won't be 
around Fairfield much.
I'm pretty skeptical of any positive outcome though. All of the nazification is 
so ingrained in the DNA of the *movement*. It may take another generation or 
two, if it's still around, to see real change. As Maharishi used to say in 
regards to someone being enlightened, "time will tell".

It will be the start of a long process to correct so much damage that has been 
done in 35 years.

academic setting governed by a board.

 The Board of Trustee should make it effective immediately and not just let it 
wait until the fall to come in to effect.  To move Bevan over so the day-today 
does not have to report to him anymore, this all needs to happen sooner than 
later to save things.

 FW: Dear Revered Friend of Maharishi University of Management:
 I am going to retire as President of Maharishi University of Management on 
Founder's Day, September 12th, after 36 years as President.
 I will be devoting my time to my duties as Prime Minister of the Global 
Country of World Peace, and as International President of Maharishi 
Universities of Management.
 I am proposing to the Board of Trustees that Raja John Hagelin be appointed as 
President of the University. He is tops in knowledge, both in science and 
Maharishi Vedic Science, a charismatic and inspiring figure, and has proven his 
administrative and marketing skills by increasing the number of people in the 
US learning Transcendental Meditation tenfold in just a few years.
 He has agreed that he is willing to do this, and I feel sure that the Board 
will support him in this role (he is already Honorary Chairman of the Board of 
Trustees, and the University's most senior faculty member, researcher, and 
public speaker). He has expressed his admiration for the existing faculty and 
administrative teams at the University who have vast experience, and feels with 
their help he will be able to manage everything well.
 He also says he already has ideas how to promote the University more, and 
attract more students, including building a closer relationship between 
Maharishi Foundation and Maharishi University of Management, and calling upon 
the skills and contacts of Dr. Bob Roth to raise the University's profile. This 
will also include greater promotion of the unique knowledge offered by the 
faculty of the University at special conferences Raja Hagelin will organize.
 He has also mentioned his desire to be able to consult with me on any issues 
that may come up, and I of course am very happy to do that.
 We will also bring out this change in the leadership during the Commencement 
ceremony on June 18th, without taking too much time.
 I do feel strongly that this is a great step of progress for Maharishi 
University of Management, and will lead to the faster expansion we all desire.
 Raja John Hagelin and I have had a chance to discuss this with Maharaja 
Adhiraj Rajaraam to gain his perspective, and he feels this is a very good move.
 Thank you all for your kindness and loving support through all the years! You
