… in town and updating EMUTalk.org, that is. Be sure to check out the just approved comments on various topics. In the next couple of weeks, I plan/hope to roll out some changes to EMUTalk.org. I know I am going to change the layout of the site, update the version of WordPress I’m running [...] I am actually going to be out of town and away from my computer (and EMUTalk.org, too) off and on until Monday, but I thought I’d give you all something to meditate quietly about: Police: Man Stabs Mom, Assaults Another Woman With Chicken, via a couple of different places (including the AAN) but this [...] I heard a rumor today– mind you, just a rumor since I haven’t seen it reported anywhere, and I’ve been kind of busy wrapping up my spring teaching to do much “investigation” on my own– that the governor’s office has pulled the plug on the funding for remodeling Pray-Harrold and put that money instead [...] For a moment, I thought about spreading a rumor of a disaster at EMU. But instead, I’ll just pass along what Ward Mullens passed along in a campus email: There will be a simulated disaster training session today (June 25), 1-5 p.m., at Goddard Hall and in the Jones/Goddard Courtyard. The Ypsilanti Fire Department [...] Here’s an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education that made me think about at least one building at EMU: “Survey Finds Cleanliness Is Key for Student Concentration.” Here’s a quote from the opening paragraphs: Findings of a new nationwide survey show a connection between cleaner college facilities and academic achievement, according to the survey’s [...] That’s right, more in the theme of “kinda slow news around here:” my news feeds tell me that this year’s Miss Michigan is Ashley Baracy, who is a graduate student at EMU, according to this and other news reports. Update: The Ann Arbor News has this article today that provides more information about [...] I’m not entirely sure if this is “news” or not, but a regular EMUTalk.org reader/contributor sent me this link from the Freep.com, “Charlie Batch in running as ‘face of EMU.’” Basically, this is about a “contest” over on ESPN, presumably to promote the college football season. It’s an award, I guess, but it’s mostly [...] This falls into the category of a post that shows up during a kind of “slow news cycle” around here at EMUTalk.org: “Drug search in Mich. nabs criminal justice student,” which appeared in the Chicago Tribune but which probably showed up on wire services all over the place. Here are the opening paragraphs about [...] I’m listening to a story on WEMU about how the Board of Regents approved a plan to move Public Safety (the campus police and such) out of the first floor of the parking deck to a refurbished version of the Hoyt Conference Center (I think that’s over by the towers, right?). Here’s a link [...] There’s been a quasi-bit of EMU news lately about Barack Obama’s rallies here in Southeast Michigan the last couple days. As has been reported– for example, here, here, here, and in the AANews– there was a question and response from Obama about student aid, the role of higher education in the future, college success, [...] |
