UNCG's Paul Mason Chops His Own Neck

To get a bit of perspective we here at EzGreensboro.com decided to do a bit of research on UNCG vice chancellor Paul Mason who began his job at UNCG with much fanfare on April Fools Day before firing over half the department.

On November 10, 2008, Paul Mason announced aggressive growth for VF Corporation. Just 36 days later Mr Mason announced job cuts. in Kansas.

In January of 2009, Paul Mason declined to comment on layoffs in California and other states across the nation.

As a matter of fact, in searching for quotes by Paul Mason the quote most commonly attributed to Paul Mason is "Paul Mason refused to comment" leading us to wonder if Paul Mason really is a communications and marketing director as he claims to be.

Is that the profile of a man on the way up or a man who can't hold a job at the corporate level-- someone who cuts throats until those at the top finally see it necessary to stop the bleeding and send him packing? 

Character assassination? How many characters did Paul Mason assassinate? Besides, I've made it no secret my job title is Tyrannicide.  We'll continue to research and try to document as much as possible about Paul Mason and yes we'll express our opinions.

If you don't like it you can always start your own blog or crawl back into the hole you crawled out of. Oh, and take Paul Mason with you, Dan Shriner
