From what I've been reading, the real issue is one thing: whether John Silber is still a megalomaniac. Apparently he is, and either he or the trustees who curry favor with him refused to assure Goldin it was no longer the case.
The conflict of interest stuff, while certainly of concern, seems more like Goldin's nuclear retort to the board's nuclear threat to rescind his contract (or whatever they actually did, since I don't know what the terms were).
I'm not a BU grad, so it's sort of irrelevant, but BU is going to be in a world of hurt for a meaningful president as long as John Silber and friends/cronies are perceived to be running the place instead of the nominal president.
