Macalester College investigates "politically incorrect" party

2007-02-11T15:01:00.000-06:00

Still more college students that don't get it! At Macalester College partiers wore nooses, black face, and KKK gowns. This comes at a time that CNN is reporting that the Klan is growing. At some point colleges will need to get serious about student behavior. The message needs to be changed to "College is where you want to get it right, not get it wrong." Diversity classes, ethics classes, and workplace interaction classes all need taught early and often!

Cheeky Prof denied tenure

2007-02-07T18:34:00.000-06:00

Cheeky Prof is currently discussing being denied tenure. The tenure game has got to be one of the most frustrating experiences in higher education. Having grown up in a family with strong connections to higher education, I saw instructors get screwed over simply because a high level admin didn't like them, their ego, or even their hair. Tenure often has nothing to do with your accomplishments, rather, it is all about being liked...or someone finds out about your clandestine blog and you get fired for blogging!

Professor begins hunger strike after being denied tenure

2007-02-06T21:44:00.000-06:00

James Sherley certainly has a fragile faculty ego. Sherley, a Black MIT professor, is on a hunger strike "for the reason that I wasn't tenured -- which is racism -- and I want this institution to admit that that is the problem and make plans to do something about it." It's far more likely the whiner isn't tenured for the very reason he is on a hunger strike: he's whacko and the admins know it. Normal people don't go on hunger strikes. One might consider that according to an interview Sherley did for the article Harvard's stem cell misstep, I'd guess Harvard has decided that Sherley's stance on issues related to his field are inconsistent with Harvard's stance. Duh! One waits until after they are tenured to speak out against a university.

The Real Reason Faculty Dislike Laptops in the Classroom

2007-02-04T12:15:00.001-06:00

It just goes to show one can't caress fragile faculty egos enough. First comes the insistence by professors that classrooms are behind the times: "We need wireless connections because every real college has them." Then when the fragile faculty get what they want, "The students aren't paying attention to me! Whaaaa!!!!" Last week I heard a student bellowing in the hall about being embarressed by an instructor that woke her during a lecture. The problem isn't the student that fell asleep and isn't bothering anyone, rather, the problem is the fragile egocentric instructor sending the message "Pay attention to me!" Students have lots of reasons for falling asleep: medication, overnight jobs, travel, family emergencies, childrenm, etc. If a fragile faculty person doesn't want to go to work and lecture, the excuse is just a phone call away...an excuse created by labor union negotiators for sick days, personal days, and family leave days. But, let a student try any of those excuses and they get told they will never be able to hold a job if they can't show up every day. Ah, the Ivory Tower!

Do Professors Try to Indoctrinate Students?

2007-01-30T23:40:00.001-06:00

The research suggests that professors do not try to indoctrinate students. That's the good news. But as the Right Wing Academic Bill of Rights fails to gain momentum, I fear the rise of groups committed to a literal interpretation of the Bible in the classroom making similar claims regarding their religious views and hitching their wagon to the Academic Bill of Rights movement. Many literal creationists believe people like Kent Hovind, who is also known as Dr. Dino. These believers remind me of those throughout history that have made unfulfilled historical predictions, especially those like the Millerites that claimed to date the Second Coming. What's the difference you might ask? Just the direction of the prediction: Dating the Bible does not appear any more successful backward as it has forward. As professors are administratively and legally mandated to "respect" the beliefs of others, those with radical beliefs will gain power in the classroom and the courtroom.

Don't blog about your fake ID

2007-01-29T22:54:00.000-06:00

John Hoff writes about his experiences as a Teaching Assistant. He frequently Googles his students to gain perspective on them. No kidding! This is great fun. It has also kept me out of trouble a time or two. It's even more fun to look students up at the local courthouse using the online criminal database and child support records database. The prissy, perfect hair, hot chick winds up having DUIs, being in drug court, and having filed a protection order against every former boyfriend. Some of the guys have had prison stays, are sexual predators, or bitch about single-mothers but they haven't paid their child support for their own kids. Ain't research great!

Student arrested for flour in condoms settles suit

2007-01-06T12:08:00.000-06:00

Bryn Mawr College Janet H. Lee has lots to learn after the "foolhardy act" of taking flour-filled condoms in her airline luggage. Granted, the cops and Lee are all messed up, and Lee gets $180,000 for the trauma from three weeks spent in the hoosgow. For those that have done Medical Research Trials for $$$$ that kind of pay would be awesome for a 3-week lock up. Lee claims she was a "naive, really stupid" freshman at the time. Um, yea. It would appear that Bryn Mawr College's claim that "our students encounter virtually every culture" went too far.

Ole Miss officer's death points finger at 'culture of alcohol'

Having survived duty overseas, Ole Miss campus police office Robert Langley fell victim to the pickup truck driven by Ole Miss freshman Daniel Redd Cummings. Drunk and stoned, Cummings hit, drug, and killed Langley. Rather than spending 2007 in sororiety houses with hot southern chics, Cummings will be spending most of it in jail with Bubba. Thanks to New Recovery for pointing me toward this article.

27 Money Tips for College Students

2007-01-01T03:07:00.000-06:00

For those still looking for a New Year's resolution here are 27 to pick and choose from - or use all 27 Money Tips for College Students from Get Rich Slowly. It's difficult to describe the grief my accumulated debt has caused. Like many, visions of a well-paying - nay, GREAT paying - job clouded my judgment. You know, a job that would instantly pay off all the student loans, credit cards, car loan, parents, yada - yada. It didn't happen, and it won't happen, and the debt lingers on. There is no magic bullet of debt removal, only the debt bullet between the eyes. Debt keeps one from spending a weekend away, keeps one working side jobs, keeps one from accepting greater responsibilities, and keeps one awake at night. Think of three more resolutions and make it a score and half.

Gay BSU student fakes attack

2006-12-30T14:10:00.000-06:00

I first came across this article via Tel-Chai Nation about a gay Boise State University that beat himself with a stick. Tel-Chai also provides a link to BSU's Nasty November with this memorable quote: "I wasn't surprised to hear that an attack occurred, even if it didn't actually occur," said Woody Howard, chairman of Boise State's Bisexuals, Gays, Lesbians and Allies for Diversity (BGLAD) club. "This situation has gotten out of hand, and there is a hostile environment being created for everybody." Other groups, such as Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), are also involved in the campus conflict. Faked attacks, name calling, antagonistic literature, and administrative study all on one campus!

Facebook: Community or Commodity?

2006-12-12T21:50:00.000-06:00

Mad Melancholic Feminista has several interesting posts about her perception, as a faculty member, of student behavior. This post delves into the ethics of being Facebook Friends with former students. Another post, That Strange Species of Student Email Behavior, discusses how some faculty view student email: "the inappropriate tone that students often take when constructing a late night email," "the anger is the result of feeling like students are intruding on my non-work time," and "they use email to avoid having a real, face to face, conversation with you." Aspazia even discusses one fragile faculty ego that has instituted a "no email policy." The policy resulted in students showing "up in her office and she got back her precious time. But, more importantly, she stopped being so angry at her students." How does one say "poor baby" with an emoticon?

At Columbia Journalism School, their $60,000 degrees are being devalued because of a cheating scandle. One students says, " The more you guys write about it, the more the value of our $60,000 degree goes down the drain." One would think the ethics instructor that put the online, open-book, take-home final would know better. Others argue it's a non-story - how does one cheat on a take-home test? According to Test-takers finding new ways to cheat 70% of all students admit to some level of cheating. Perhaps the guy that completed the test in 32 minutes had some help.

Study subject comments include, "It's kind of ridiculous," she said. "It's just the fact that a group supposedly affiliated with (the University) ... kind of took my trust and threw it out the window." Now, ask yourself this, How many of the "offended" students would jump at the chance to be in a reality show?

Yale, Columbia grad students strike

2005-04-19T10:54:00.000-05:00

Graduate students at Yale and Columbia Universities are protesting in an effort to get union representation for improved benefits. The law doesn't help because at private schools the National Labor Relations Board declares them students not workers. In small town Nebraska, the article Class cuts drive CCC students out discusses a protest of a different sort. Angry at cuts to the automotive program at Central Community College-Columbus students parked cars to delay new construction in parts of the former auto shop and staged a class walk-out. The campus president, in a sad display of non-empathy, declared that the students had already paid their tuition so they could do what they wanted, he didn't care!!

On student in favor of the legislation states, "I have been taunted, sworn at and humiliated beyond the realm of imagination, and I am sick of this treatment." Uh, maybe because YOU are the one that sticking out your opinion and others are sick of YOU? I don't know. It is only a guess.

Harvard student Allison Kessler is quoted as saying, "I used to eat Lucky Charms for lunch and dinner. The fake stuff gets real soggy, and I've just stopped eating cereal. This is not fair." Hopefully the horrible and unfair impact of this cost-cutting effort will be remembered when these students become CEOs, CFOs, and presidents. In the meantime...po'babies.
