I’m not even sure how I stumbled across this, but here it is: from the site Oddly Specific, “The strangely particular website about peculiarly exacting signs,” “Why MSU is better than U of M.” Actually, the comments on the site make it pretty clear that this is not really real/it’s a joke, etc. But I [...] 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 [...] Two things I meant to post here earlier, but that pesky day-job kept getting in the way: First, from several different sources (including an alert EMUTalk.org reader and EMU media wonk) comes news that EMU and several other Michigan universities are participating in a program funded by the Kellogg foundation to encourage and attract math and [...] There’s a lively conversation on Mark Maynard’s blog, “Will public universities begin going private?” Mark is referencing a NYTimes article, but most of the discussion here is about the highly hypothetical case of the University of Michigan “going private.” Personally, I don’t U of M could afford to give up on state funding [...] I was kind of surprised to stumble across the CMU and EMU football game on television Saturday afternoon, though I have to say I didn’t stay for all of it. I mean, they were down 35-0 at half and lost the game 56-8. Here’s a link to the Eastern Echo’s collection of links [...] This might be more Ann Arbor/U of M than Ypsi/EMU, and it might be more interesting to me as a book fan/reader/English major type, but I thought I’d post it here anyway: according to Mark Maynard, Shaman Drum is closing up at the end of this month. But I guess the good news is [...] From the AA News: U-M graduation moves back to the Big House. The story revisits the outcry that would have caused U-M students to cross over into the dangerous territory of Ypsilanti: U-M officials initially said commencement would move to Eastern Michigan University’s football stadium, but that prompted an outcry from seniors and their [...] Quite the busy couple of days on campus here at EMU: First, for Martin Luther King day today, EMU has a bunch of stuff going on, as listed in the EMU MLK Day web site: basically, there are speakers, “learning beyond the classroom” opportunities for students, the whole nine yards. Though I [...] I found this via this post at Mark Maynard’s blog: “Ypsi: the other college bar scene” ran in the Michigan Daily almost a month ago, but since I’m far from a regular reader of the Michigan Daily (while I do read Mark’s blog often enough), I am just coming across it now. As I’ve said [...] And that’s not just a catchy post title that is likely to drive a lot of search engine users who were looking for web sites on, um, “another topic.” No, I learned this afternoon both about EMU’s online sexual harassment prevention training and a rather titillating story of sex and professors at U of [...] |
