The commitment, friend, is accepting the appointment or whatever you want to call his involvement with the MBA and then treating said involvement with such complete disregard that you dont even bother to show up.

The issue is Dr. Stein's inability to keep a commitment, not whether or not the MBA operates as a public entity.
