This falls into the category of “not my cup of tea,” but apparently, there’s a Halo 3 tournament/fund raising event being sponsored by a group called the Gamers Outreach Foundation. There’s a nice editorial about this in the AA News; apparently, Zach Wigal was going to do this last year at Saline High, but [...] Today’s Detroit Free Press reports that ousted, discredited former EMU president John A. Fallon III is writing a book about his tenure at EMU. The newspaper reports that EMU lawyers have requested copies of his “book outline,” which may mean a book proposal, in court papers. Somebody will no doubt post a link [...] I haven’t seen the whole article because I don’t have a subscription to The Chronicle of Higher Education, but I thought this might be something regular reader here might find interesting: “In Rare Move, Professors at Michigan Technological U. Vote to Drop Their Union.” The only part I’ve read so far: Faculty members [...] I do not want the 1st person to say “I told you so!” BUT check out this news story. Judge considered for EMU presidency Thoughts? There is an article in the Ann Arbor News confirming the rumors that Judge Shelton is a candidate for EMU presidency, one of the dozen candidates now remaining in the pool: “Judge considered for EMU presidency.” The fact that the Judge’s name was released earlier than those of the other candidates and alone of all of the candidates suggests that his application is getting special treatment of some sort, if not in the search committee or with the Board of Regents, at least in some parts of the community at large.

I’ve been needing/wanting to update the version of the template for a while now anyway, so maybe this will motivate me to do it. Anyway, things might look and act a little weird around here for a while. Sorry for the construction/inconvenience. From Ward Mullens just now: The campus community is invited to join Regent Tom Sidlik and EMU Athletic Director Derrick Gragg as they announce the largest gift in the history of EMU athletics, Friday, Feb. 29, 10 a.m., Room 300 of the student center. Oh, goody…. On the one hand, I appreciate the fact [...] I was going to post some kind of YouTube movie to celebrate the vacation, but everything I found as a result of the search “Spring Break” brought up bikini contests and the like– probably not completely appropriate for here. In any event, I hope everyone has a good time/a good rest/an opportunity to catch [...] About a week and a half ago, a regular reader/contributor to EMUTalk.org sent me the content below the “read more” line about a 3% or so increase to higher ed being proposed by the state. I didn’t post it back then because I got busy with my “day job,” and also because I was busy much of last week taking advantage of my quasi-sabbatical status to take a little road-trip. However, in light of the recent rumors discussed here, these articles from just a couple weeks ago does raise some interesting questions. Has the budget picture changed that much in the last two weeks, or are these $3 million+ rumors legit, or is there something else going on here? |
