My kids - in NJ - root for the Jayhawks because their kindergarten teacher was a KU alum and would put stuff up every year for the NCAA basketball tournament.

Part-time legislature. Few states (only ten) have full-time legislatures.

Looks even worse when you get a shot of the whole stage. Getty Images has this one - it’s not photoshopped.

Baruch College (part of CUNY) is on the list, but they don’t have any residence halls. So, even with a large number of students, it’s a little less unbelievable in that specific case. A bunch of CUNY schools have very limited housing, so the number of students enrolled would be far higher than the number of…

I knew we were in trouble a few years back when one of the canned food brands (Green Giant, maybe) had to add instructions to the cans of creamed corn. You know, pour it into saucepan and heat.

So yes, in that world, this counts as a recipe.

I’m siding with the insurance company on this one. And this just makes the NCAA two year “bowl ban” for PSU even more of a joke. In an ideal world, if they do have to pay, the insurer would be able to use subrogation to sue former University officials, Paterno’s estate, etc., but depending on PA law, insurance regs…

From what was said at the time, she didn’t want it regardless at this point in her life and career. Given that she knew what the job would entail, I’d have to defer to her judgement, rather than ours . . .

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.

Costco is currently carrying nearly identical solar driveway/path lights at $29.99 for a box of 8. We bought two boxes, and they work great.

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.
