From the Eastern Echo: “EMU fires sex offenders.” The headline makes that sound pretty straight-forward, but the story suggests something a little more complicated. The first couple paragraphs: Two Eastern Michigan University employees were fired two weeks ago because of past convictions of criminal sexual conduct, according to documents obtained by The Eastern Echo under the [...] From Geoffrey “Geoff” Larcolm: EMU basketball tonight is launching a new promotion: the Mac Attack. Students, faculty and staff have the opportunity to win a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen, 2.26GHz MacBook during a random drawing at each of the 11 remaining 2010 EMU men’s and women’s home basketball games. The value of each laptop is $1,000. Anyone [...] This is kind of “old news” for my field– that is, it’s probably better to teach students what plagiarism is and how to avoid it– but since this has been a topic before on EMUTalk.org and it is still “news” for other fields, I suggest taking a look at Inside Higher Ed’s “Plagiarism Prevention Without [...] Just a couple hours from EMU DPS: EMU Police Department is reporting a suspicious situation that occurred in the Warner Building on January 26, 2010 at approximately 9:45 a.m. A staff member and students attending a class observed a subject in the hallway loitering. When the staff member went to approach the subject, it was noticed [...] I might be more interested in this than others reading EMUTalk.org because of my own scholarship and teaching, but I thought I’d go ahead and share it here anyway: from the current CHE, “5 Teaching Tips for Professors– From Video Games.” From the opening paragraphs: [Constance] Steinkuehler, an assistant professor of educational communication and technology at the [...] “P-H to get makeover” is an Eastern Echo article that sums up some of the upcoming renovation plans to Pray-Harrold. I’m not entirely sure where the reporter got her information on these changes, but there is at least one that I am quite certain is not in the works: Plans for the renovation include reworking the [...] From Annarbor.com last night, “Fire in residence hall room displaces 8 University of Michigan students.” Basically, a microwave incident went bad: Eight University of Michigan students were displaced for at least the night after a fire that started in a microwave in the Baits housing complex spread to a resident’s room, university officials said. No one [...] This in this morning from Geoffrey “Geoff” Larcom: Eastern Michigan University students, Student Government, the Office of Diversity and Community Involvement and the Office of International Students are hosting a “cell phone light vigil” (no flames, just light) as a call for aid to the people of Haiti. The vigil is today, Jan. 25, 6:30 p.m., beginning [...] This from the Ypsilanti Citizen: “College Place street repairs begin in summer.” I love the lead here: The unevenness in the road is enough to make even the most seasoned seafarer vomit. That’s why the City of Ypsilanti is planning repairs on College Place near the Eastern Michigan University campus in June. The street’s surface will be totally [...] I’ve been meaning to post this here for a while now. From a memo I received recently: In an effort to create a smooth transition to new locations during the renovation of the Pray?Harrold Building we have arranged to have four open forum meetings to share information about all matters related to the Pray?Harrold renovation and [...] |
