Riekeman
Goes To Life University

Dr. Guy Riekeman is coming to
Life University! In an announcement expected today, (Thursday March 4,
2004) Dr. Guy Riekeman will be taking over the helm at Life University.
Dr. Riekeman formerly the President, then Chancellor of Palmer recently resigned
as a result of disagreements with the Board of Trustees. Since that point
many at Life were hoping that there would be some way that Dr. Riekeman could
come to Life University.
Dr. Guy, as many call him, was
credited throughout the profession with a rejuvenation of Palmer and was the
major reason for a huge increase in enrollment, and donations. Many Palmer
alumni, as well as other supporters, have stated that they will discontinue
financial support if Riekeman was not reinstated. It remains to be seen if
these donors will now switch their support to Life University now that Dr. Guy is
there.
For Life University the news
comes at a critical time. The enrollment and money at Life were severely
down. The lack of enrollment created a financial crisis that threatened
their accreditation status with the regional accrediting agency. This news
may spark an enrollment spike, and donation increase that could just make the
difference.
At this writing it is too
early to judge the reaction either at Life University or Palmer. As news
breaks we will post releases and articles on our student resource site,
www.dc2be.com.
Cartoonist
and Satirists Chime in on Palmer - Riekeman Situation
Maybe chiropractic has hit the
big time for the wrong reasons. The recent events at Palmer with the
resignation of Dr. Guy Riekeman ( and now his moving to Life U) have brought the general media, and the satirists
into the discussion. One such cartoon appeared in the Quad City Times opinion
section of that local paper. In this cartoon it appears that Vickie Palmer
is about to give Dr. Riekeman an adjustment with an axe. (click on thumbnail
for larger image)
A
second image is a photo remake showing the faces of Dr. Riekeman and Vickie
Palmer over the bodies of Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson from the infamous
Super Bowl "costume malfunction". Not since the turmoil and removal of Dr.
Sid Williams from Life, has the press and those who add humor to news had such a
field day.
This latest round of news has caught not only the chiropractic profession by storm, but has peaked the
interest of the local newspapers. We are keeping a running tally of the news and
information on this situation on the student resource website
www.dc2be.com .
A recent poll held on
DC2BE.com showed overwhelming support for Dr Riekeman and a large negative
reaction toward the Palmer Board. The results of that poll can be reviewed
by
clicking here. The poll was even reported in the Quad City times and
can be
viewed here. With Dr. Riekeman's new leadership at Life, it seems one
school's loss is another ones gain.
