This in the EMU Echo (though I found it via annarbor.com): “Eastern prohibits medical marijuana.” Here’s a quote: According to Greg O’Dell, the police chief at EMU, marijuana is prohibited on campus for any reason, including medicinal uses. Associate Director of University Housing Brian Fitzgerald said though there were meetings in place discussing the [...] I’m not sure how many EMUTalk.org readers are students (I sense more faculty, staff, and administrators around here), nor am I vetting the accuracy of these ideas, but Lifehacker is one of my favorite blogs, and this advice in “The Complete Guide to Saving Money on Textbooks” seems useful to me. From AnnArbor.com from a few days ago, “University of Michigan students can now gamble on their grades online.” Basically, it’s a program from a web site called Ultrinsic that enables bets on grades. Here’s a paragraph from the annabor.com piece: Ultrinsic CEO Steven Wolf, 27, said for students to earn cash, they have to [...] I know the case of Julea Ward is kind of old news around here, but it still comes up a lot in my Google News feed about EMU. Here’s a blog post that was on the American Counseling Association web site (which lends a certain credibility to what’s being said here) titled “To Help [...] This is a bit of a tangent I suppose, though it might be interesting here, especially for the “IT” inclined. According to this AP article that is about downgrading Microsoft stock, Apple is taking a heavy bite out of the traditional dominance of Windows.

As reported in the Detroit News (and repeated in Annarbor.com), “EMU student’s lawsuit dismissed.” Here’s kind of a long quote from a short article that [...] This seems like a stupid way to save money to me: from Inside HigherEd, “Texas A&M Can’t Spare a Square.” Here’s a quote: It’s no surprise that universities have been eliminating extras in order to tighten budgets, but getting rid of toilet paper might really stink. Texas A&M University, which is trying to cut [...] This comes from mlive: “Tuition freezes could come back to bite students; Mott Community College and other community colleges now imposing double-digit hikes.” As the headline suggests, it’s mostly about Mott Community College, but there was this interesting passage about EMU’s 0/0/0 campaign: Eastern Michigan University made national waves this year for a bold, [...] This is something else I missed while being gone during June: From Annarbor.com, “Hearing delayed for man accused of sexually assaulting Eastern Michigan University student.” I don’t have a link to the original story, but it sounds pretty awful. |
