Comment on CMU cuts ties with loved professor by John Linko

It sounds as if you are just starting to scratch the surface of the issues created by a “corporate university”. Perhaps you have found an editorial focus item for next semester.

Dude, I couldn’t have said it better myself. I feel like on some level this is more of a diploma factory than a college, much less a university.

Mr. Seppelt’s candor is somewhat refreshing – he’s especially matter-of-fact about the need to maximize revenue. I wonder if his salary or continued employment is somehow hinged to occupancy. Full dorms = job security. How’s that for an incentive at a “public” university?

If I were the parent of an out of town student, I would bristle at what is largely an unnecessary requirement for well-adjusted young men and women.

It’s also uncharacteristically nanny-like for CMU, especially when you consider that freshmen and sophomores who commute from their own GJ-area residences are exempt from this requirement. Makes you wonder about what the university thinks of its potential student market share.

This sounds to me like something I would use as a platform item if I were running for ASG. Comment from current ASG reps might be an interesting sidebar to this as well.

Here here!! This area is not NEARLY as destitute as everyone thinks it is. There is always something to do, so long you know how and where to look. And with there being so much beauty around here, even just looking is fun.

Comment on Michrina remembered, Anthropology professor dies, leaves “huge impact” by activforlife

Dr. Barry Michrina’s impact on teaching is multifacted; he was not only passionate about the field of understanding other cultures, but it went deeper to the level of the psychology of individuals from other cultures; sexes; social class; age, etc. Michrina’s compassion and love for humanity was more than taught to his students, but he inspired a generation who were blessed to have him as their teacher/professor.

I personally knew Barry Michrina and I will forever be in his debt– and what’s so ironic about that, is that he never kept a tab on what he gave, he was an antruistic and deeply caring man. He helped me with my own degree as I had to complete upper level courses with no scientific background, and his background in physics and his dedication as a teacher helped me earn my own degree in Sociology.
Dr. Michrina will be greatly missed!
