Did you always want to pretend you were a real life law enforcement officer? Now, you can login to the Texas Border Watch website and pretend you’re a real life Border Patrol agent by surveilling — via video cameras — all those nasty Mexicans trying to sneak their way in to the United States to drug up your daughters and work jobs no one else wants.
Is Apple’s Original Boy Genius, Steve Jobs, dying? He looked purely awful and wan and bony during yesterday’s WWDC conference as he presented the new, and rather bland, iPhone 2.0.
We were disturbed to learn many faculty members at New Orleans universities were fired without due process:
Many
tenured faculty were fired with scant notice, no meaningful due
process, no stated reasons, and no appeal save to the very
administrators who released them. Faculty were not consulted about
these actions or given an opportunity to suggest alternatives. Some
found out they had already been taken off payroll and health care.
Departments and programs were closed without appropriate review. While
a number of institutions had suffered serious damage from the
hurricane, we found no justification for this wholesale abandonment of
due process and shared governance. Indeed, as the report eloquently
declares, this is exactly the kind of challenge that requires wide
consultation and full participation by the faculty before drastic
actions are taken.
