old glory
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
The News-Gazette (the local C-U area newspaper, for those not attending the University or living in its environs) recently ran a story detailing the various issues that will soon come up before the Board of Trustees. Of course, I have my own unsolicited opinions on some of this stuff:
The Budget: This one's simple. The state's been negligent toward higher education and needs adequately fund ALL of its state skools.
The Chief: Retire him already. Sheesh.
College of Communications: I know nothing beyond the fact that they need to listen to their own students before condeming entire departments.
GEO: More power to them, as well as to the Association of Academic Professionals.
Assembly Hall: I have yet to see or understand how spending money on it would benefit the university more than, say, renovating the decrepit Lincoln Hall.
Orchard Downs: Don't live there, never been there, so I know nothing.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
