Wikiversity is a natural fit with the existing projects and the slogans and bylaws yet it is not being implemented despite overwhelming community support.
It should be noted that I am a strong supporter of Wikiversity. So, whatever merits the rest of your rant might have, this does not seem to be particularly relevant.
The Wikiversity group was asked to make some relatively minor adjustments to the charter, adjustments which addressed the concerns *not of the board*, but of the people who had opposed to creation of Wikiversity.
The board has not been presented with a followup proposal for a vote.

You ever heard of management by walking around?
This is a farcical response to a year delay after members of your Board of Directors presented a "freeing the curriculum" presentation.
From 200 voting supporters and a fair amount of activity in the temporary space we are down to a committe of five, a couple of alleged trolls, and maybe a few editors shifting back and forth from wikibooks.
Squandering that momentum and presenting this incompetence to practicing professionals, a few of whom definately came calling with interested graduate students, is not our finest hour.
Fun to find we are on speaking terms again.
