Terrible administrators love the outrage as icing on the the evaluation process cake. It gives them another tool to use to control the faculty. And not just the adjuncts, since even tenured faculty come up for promotion. And the accreditation agencies in some regions are giving them even more ways to micromanage…

This is a charter school. They’re getting taxpayer money, and should have to comply with open records laws (even for retaining messages from Slack) just like the public schools would have to in most states. But they don’t.

The only way charters are “more accountable” in most places is that they can fire teachers…

It’s come out that a number of Disney employees have been asking for fences by the nearby Polynesian Resort because guests were feeding the alligators. Reportedly management has been ignoring them. Apparently. people staying in the new over-the-water bungalows have been the biggest offenders.

The Floridian is only a…

Peter Thiel’s lawyer is going to sue you for defamation on behalf of the Pokemon.

I’m just hoping the food gives him reflux so that he can enjoy the aftertaste of shitty McDonand’s food hours later. The taste of Big Mac and failure.

“Affect” as in “allow them to see what actually happened, which is that a different sport was invented.”

You’re correct that he’s accepting them, but he’s getting shit for campaign contributions, his (and the RNC’s) fundraising is a hot mess right now. He’s loaned money to his own campaign, but he’ll get paid back (or be able to write off the loans) eventually. He’s also reportedly gone out of his way to use Trump-owned…

Yup - my thinking about the large vs. small institution is whether or not everything like that gets run by the President early in the process or later after the Title IX and student affairs folks have taken a look at it. I’ve never worked at a large institution.

But at this point - especially after the “Dear…

Well, and that’s an interesting question. Not every lie under oath is perjury. I believe that it has to be relevant to rise to that level. That’s why there’s a different “false declarations” statute in federal law, as well as obstruction as a possible charge.

I work in higher ed. The folks assisting with the President’s email are absolutely supposed to follow up on an email like that if the institutional culture isn’t terrible. Why? First off, you want to do right by your students. But even if that isn’t enough, you follow up because otherwise it can turn into a dumpster…

We’ve got a real-world example of that. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The guy has a hissy fit every time someone says something he doesn’t like, and tries to use Turkish law (if possible) or obscure laws in foreign countries to harass those criticising or mocking him.

And being dumb enough to say it in public means that Mr. Wylie is likely going to be on the losing side of any wage theft case in the future.

How the hell did he get away with apologizing WITHOUT having to say that he’s sure that Trump’s cock is bigger than his? That seems to be the level of humiliation Trump is assigning to his former rivals as penance.

That’s got nothing to do with age. I can probably find people who were 30, 40 and 50 year olds at the time who voted in that election with as little or even less of a clue, deciding on even flimsier information.

In fact, given that she’s better informed now than she was then, I’d put her ahead of some folks I know who…

Zorn looked better than most of the ABC shows. I can’t believe ABC cancelled so many shows and this was the best they could do. Looks like Fox will be picking up an evening or two from me.

If this guy identified as a woman, they likely wouldn’t have shown them, which just makes it even more arbitrary.

I haven’t played since the 1st edition AD&D era, starting around 1980 and through 1985 or so. I wouldn’t mind getting back into it, but I’ve talked to current players, and I have to admit I don’t find the later editions all that compelling. Although the newest one might be better.

Still have all my books, modules, and…

The bill in question is moronic, and the Senate funding bill is underfunding the effort by more than half. It’s a bad joke.

A second mosquito species found in most of the eastern US as found to be capable of carrying the virus in the last two weeks. Aedes albopictus. Found it in a tested mosquito in Mexico.
