It’s been slow enough around EMUTalk.org lately and it promises to get even slower soon: my family is about to embark on a summer vacation of sorts, one where our son gets to hang around the grandparents and fellow grandchildren, and where my wife and I get to go to Las Vegas. It’s only [...]

From MLive this morning, “Eastern Michigan University increases tuition 7.7 percent.” Three brief thoughts for now: It could have been worse– Grand Valley raised tuition over 13% and Western went up (I think?) over 9%. 7.7% is along the lines of the other public institutions in Michigan. I am completely incapable of doing the [...] This is kind of old news around here, but I’ll link to it anyway: “EMU gifts at all-time high,” from the AANews. Two quick thoughts for now: first, this just goes to show you what a year of relative stability can do around EMU– at least that’s what the article quotes Ronald Miller (the [...] This showed up in my EMU Google News search/feed/updates the other day: (EMU) Student Government News and Upcoming Events. It reminds me again that I really need to get around to updating the blog space here…. From Sunday’s AANews, “Billboard could bring money to city Council votes to lease space for 60-foot-tall digital sign at Huron exit.” From the story: The Ypsilanti City Council voted July 15 to lease space to Adams Outdoor Advertising for a 60-foot-tall digital billboard at the Huron Street exit ramp off westbound I-94. Adams [...] It’s been pretty quiet around town/campus lately, so I don’t have a lot of news/reasons for blogging around here right now. Besides, isn’t the weather too nice to be doing this? So, I share with you this cartoon from “Teachable Moments” at Inside Higher Ed, and if you’ve got a comment relevant for [...] Both of these were sent to me by EMUTalk.org regular Abby Coykendall (though I’m paraphrasing here). First, lock your car doors and watch out for the carjacking. There was this story from the AANews, “15-year-old held in carjacking in Ypsilanti.” As the story explains though, the carjacking took place in the 800 block of [...] From the Ann Arbor News comes “Jim Vick passed over for AD job at Ypsilanti schools.” In a way, the story repeats the news that was posted yesterday in this comment from Mark Higbee. Higbee is quoted in the article, too. There were two passages in the piece that stood out for me: [...] I don’t really understand exactly what this is, but I think it’s good news: “EMU, Detroit Public Schools collaborate to help students explore opportunities in information technologies, geo-spatial fields.” From the article: Eastern Michigan University and the Detroit Public Schools are collaborating on a grant from the National Science Foundation which supports a [...] “trusty getto” is the name of a fine local blog by Cameron Getto, an attorney active in the Ypsi community. His latest entry, “Jim Vick to be considered for Ypsi High School administration position this Monday evening” does a very good and logical job spelling out the issues at hand here.
