Did Teri Hall’s partner post a Twitter comment questioning the morals of Lyston and then delete it seven minutes later? If so, why would she do that?

Lyston,
Can you detail the issues of concern and the people involved that have shaped your decision?

It’s been a pleasure serving with you. Your passion, professionalism and service are exceptional. I’m not sure what you have on deck, but you will no doubt be great! Blessings!

Everyone knows unethical things are going down at WSU but do nothing about it because it would cost them something.
But then there are Lystons. Lystons walk out on good jobs because staying means reconciling in his mind that receiving a paycheck from an institution that he knows acts the expense of the others is worth it. And no amount of money is worth it.
Thank you.
