    The Pharaohs of Egypt are remembered (for centuries possibly eternity) for their power by the structures that they built. For what he has done, he will always be remembered prominently and his vision of what Duquesne should be has not waivered. He has successfully implemented his vision but I don't think that it is shared by many in the Duquesne community because it doesn't follow our underlying beliefs and principles. The soul of the University is not in it's structures but the people that work and teach and learn there. That such a well-respected Professor such as Labriola is viewed in any negative way by the University Management is testament to a lack of understanding of the principles that Duquesne was founded on. If the philosophy that Dougherty has instituted is that the professors and students quietly accept what is "best" for the Institution then I would hope he quietly resigns and moves on to a position that would be more conducive to his philosophies.
    The Pirates could really use a guy like Dougherty, not Duquesne University. (I mean the Pirates could realllly use a number-centric success at any price guy like Dougherty.)
