I ask this question because I feel our University Community needs to have an open discussion on the value we put on research. I have heard that EMU does value research, but if we use the measurement of the dollar – we fall very short of being able to say we value research. Do [...] It seems one of our unsuccessful Police Chief candidates may have brought more controversy to campus rather than stemming the propensity to scandal that we already have had and are soon (I hope) to overcome: “Police chief candidate no stranger to controversy“ Higher ed costs across the country go up faster than inflation. Why is that? See http://insidehighered.com/views/2008/01/24/marthers for some interesting commentary, especially regarding why the public views higher ed the way it does and consequences of the business model. From Pam Young comes the following: You are invited to attend Eastern Michigan University’s open forum about campus safety and security today, Jan. 28, 12:30 – 2 p.m., room 330 Student Center. For those unable to attend today’s meeting, a second forum will be Thursday, Jan. 31, 5:30-7 p.m., room 310B, Student Center. Don [...] Oh, I just read the absolutely most fabulous headline of all. Let’s cross all our fingers and toes and say pretty please to the legislators for making this important project come to fruition: “Governor backs EMU’s hopes for building renovations” by Nathan Bomey | Ann Arbor Business Review Gov. Jennifer Granholm today gave a boost [...] The Ann Arbor NEWS’s lead editorial yesterday (Monday Jan. 23), “Heartening signs from EMU budget critique” is quite good.

(Maybe one of the quicker than me [...] At the last meeting of the E-mail Selection Committee (yes we are meeting), we discussed the new anti-spam system EMU is using. Tonight (01/24/08) I received an email from ICT sharing some stats on the system performance. So I thought I share with all of you…. From ICT: The system was brought online on [...] There was a nice “other voices” piece in yesterday’s AAN written by EMU professor (and administrator? I know she was at one point) Denise M. Tanguay called “U-M commencement at EMU offers seniors unique experience.” It’s exceedingly polite; for example: While I can understand the disappointment of students who cannot hold their graduation ceremony [...]
EMU has lost another bright light. Steven Tasky, a witty, energetic and social service focused recent Alum, took his own life 1/20/08. I have known Steve for over four years, and am still reeling from the shock. He was the kind of person that could light up a room 30 seconds before he [...] Another email I received yesterday announced the “Last Lecture Series” this winter term, which will kick off on January 30 (at 7:00 p.m.) with a talk from Dennis Patrick, Professor of Communication and Theatre Arts. This email just came to faculty in my department, but it seems to me that the main audience for [...] |
