Holmes heard from staffers that Messina made public comments that sounded "unprofessional, inappropriate, bitter, insubordinate," Holmes wrote in a Dec. 12 email.
In the emails, Holmes accused Messina of acting insubordinate and being critical of the foundation during a Dec. 11 quarterly meeting for foundation and alumni association employees. Messina voiced concern about alumni staff working long hours and complained about alumni not having a voice in the university's search for a new provost, the emails showed.
Holmes also accused Messina of singling him out.

Within days, Messina would lose his job.
