Commentary on the Current State of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Monday, October 26, 2009. Are student loans like indentured servitude? I found this interesting article. In Dissent. Jeffery Williams argues that the nature of student debt binds students for years afterward. He argues that the debt reinforces class discrimination, and counteracts the notion that the U.S. can be a meritocracy. Although Dissent is very left-wing venue, I think that Williams raises some very interesting points.

Commentary on the Current State of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Thursday, September 02, 2010. It has been a nice, productive summer for me. Unfortunately, I haven't been posting on the blog. I have even been thinking of turning it off. However, today I was glad that I haven't. Our lovely IT department has implemented a "virus prevention tool" that blocks access to all sorts of perfectly legitimate websites. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Commentary on the Current State of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Monday, November 23, 2009. Debate over how to handle the big cuts. The New York Times hosts an interesting forum. Today about the future of higher education, on the heels of the massive tuition increases in the California Universities. The panel seems to be almost unanimous that it doesn't matter. They seem to all think that tuition was too low in CA anyway. . . . Thursday, November 12, 2009. Are too many students going to college?

Commentary on the Current State of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Is college students learning? Wow, it has been a long time since a post, but here is an interesting link for anyone who is still out there. It also raises good questions about our own gen. ed. reforms:.

Commentary on the Current State of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Friday, October 29, 2010. Big gen ed shake-up coming. We heard about the big changes that LERT is planning for gen ed at our last department meeting. Is everyone ready for a turf-war?

Commentary on the Current State of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Tuesday, May 11, 2010. MU Dean's Search Turmoil. This is an interesting story. That I have been following: Marquette offered and then rescinded an offer of deanship, seemingly because she is gay. It seems shameful to me and a sign of the turmoil within Catholic higher education. It is, however, nice to be following a scandal on someone else's campus! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Commentary on the Current State of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Wednesday, March 10, 2010. Should we ban laptops? The reaction against laptops in the classroom has hit the Washington Post. 160;It lists professors banning laptops at George Washington U, American, William and Mary, and Virginia. I tend to agree- too often it is clear that students are simply surfing the web or doing something else. The bigger question is whether typing is as good for memory as writing.
