The vindication of Wallace Hall
"Vindication" Dallas Morning News Houston Chronicle Texas Monthly Texas Tribune Houston Community Newspapers Dallas Observer Austin Statesmen Wall Street Journal Forbes Reason Chronicle of Higher Education

There are an increasing number of national and state newspapers that have referred to the "vindication" of Wallace Hall. I don't see any of them in the article yet. Capitalismojo (talk) 23:10, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * From the Dallas Observer: '' The dramatic denouement is threefold: Hall has been vindicated of charges he abused his role as a regent. The charges of mismanagement and corruption he brought against UT are all being re-investigated because now people are admitting he was on to something.
 * "And finally, Hall's biggest accusers are starting to look like the biggest rats, the ones who had the most to hide.In fact it's hard to recall a case in Texas history where a person so roundly denounced has been so completely vindicated, not counting Sam Houston's problems with drink."

Perhaps it's time to add a new section. Capitalismojo (talk) 23:12, 23 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Also from the Wall Street Journal: "A new report vindicates a trustee who dug into univeristy favoritism." Capitalismojo (talk) 23:25, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * From Texas Scorecard magazine "OAG Investigation Vindictaes Wallace Hall." Capitalismojo (talk) 23:29, 23 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Interesting! "Vindication" is as strong a term as one can come up with. I think it can be used, albeit with attribution, a la "The Dallas Observer, the Wall Street Journal, and Texas Scorecard have described the report as vindicating Hall of X." I leave that "X" because I'm not quite clear how he's been vindicated: of the claims against him, or of the claims he's made against others? --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 23:35, 23 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Isn't it? By the way I was about to post a couple more of those "vindication" articles. (Dallas Morning News, etc) But you responded too fast. :) Capitalismojo (talk) 23:38, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll work on something in a sandbox and bring it over here for a try. Capitalismojo (talk) 23:39, 23 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Wow. Here's one from a magazine sponsored by the University, the Texas Tribune. "Vindication for UT, if you want to read it that way: Top-level interference in admissions is relatively rare. Vindication for Hall, read another way: He was on to something".::::As you said, Interesting. Capitalismojo (talk) 23:51, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Hall’s work on this issue seems vindicated by the Kroll report.
