This notice just sent around from Edward Mullens:
From the Physical Plant:
Construction on the new science complex during winter break (March 1-5) will impact cooling units in Halle Library. Temperatures inside the library may become warmer than normal, possibly as high as 85 degrees. People using the building may want to dress in layers. Halle Library [...]
… I’m a little surprised. I mean, I tend to think that the schools around here get closed a little too easily– I have accused Southeast Michiganders of being “weather babies” in the past. But EMU was closed on February 10, I believe with less snow on the ground (though that’s just a guess based [...]
Or, perhaps she’ll go for a salad or a veggie wrap; either way, find out on Monday, February 8. I believe this was a public annoucement:
Faculty, staff and students are invited to attend Conversations with the President on Monday, Feb. 8, from 1 – 2 p.m., in the Student Center dining area. President Susan Martin [...]
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 [...]
Former Ann Arbor News reporter/columnist and current EMU PR/writer guy Geoff Larcom sent me an email suggesting that I post a link to this Focus EMU article, “Swing space plan for Pray-Harrold, Science Complex in development.” It runs through the basic plans for what to do about space for offices, teaching, etc. for everyone [...]
An alert EMUTalk.org reader sent me an email complementing me on posting about the “hiring/nonhiring” for the EMU government position, but then pointing out that I had missed the fact that EMU has posted an ad for University General Counsel. “Does this mean that Ken McKanders is gone or being forced out?”
Well, this pointed [...]
From Annarbor.com (and, surprisingly, nothing from the Eastern Echo, at least yet) comes “Campus concealed weapons bills debated at Eastern Michigan University panel discussion.” There’s a good discussion going on there, but I have to say I very much agree with this comment from Andy Ypsilanti:
This is a great idea. Because college kids are [...]
So, I followed through on my threat/promise to go to the forums for the chief of governmental and community relations interviews this afternoon. I typed up some notes on both Jon Cool and Felicia Wasson, but I don’t think what I typed up was particularly interesting. So, here’s a few bullet point impressions [...]
I’ve gotta say: this is starting to look a little fishy.
Geoff Larcom sent around this email this afternoon at about 1:30 announcing the opportunities for faculty and staff to meet and greet the finalists for the chief governmental and community relations job:
Faculty, staff and students are invited to open forums to meet the two [...]
I ran into an EMU friend and colleague this morning who said to me “hey, why don’t you put something about the concealed weapons law on the blog?” So here it is, with a few links.
First, from the Echo, “Concealed weapons bill would allow guns in trunks on campus.”
Second, from AnnArbor.com, “Campus gun law [...]
