UTSA announces new policy to fight sexual misconduct by student-athletes [San Antonio Express-News]

The flava:
In a new policy it described as the first of its kind in the country, the University of Texas at San Antonio is banning students with verified histories of violence or sexual abuse from participating in its athletic programs.

Such students will be prohibited from receiving sports scholarships, competing in games or attending practices, the university said Tuesday

The move follows a recent outcry on campus over what some students have called a pervasive “rape culture” at UTSA.

You only get one chance... [from Wombat of the Copier]

Dear Professor Wombat, 

Hello.  I wanted to apologize for missing the first day of class.  I thought I would be able to make it from my doctor's office to class in time, but there was a problem with public transportation.  It won't happen again, and I already met with some of my girls to go over what you did so I'll be caught up. 
Sorry about making a bad first impression.  Looking forward to the 2nd week of the semester!

Dear SKK,

The semester started two weeks ago.  I don't know which girls are yours, but maybe all of you can head on over to Staples and find a calendar. 

Love,
Professor Wombat

Expert predicts 25% of colleges will fail in the next 20 years [CBS This Morning]

A discouraging note submitted by Southern Bubba, Ph.D.

I just read this New York Times article about "contract cheating."

And then I wrote a really long post about all the demoralizing stuff in higher ed today.

And then I read what I had written and I deleted it because it was so long and yet it was barely even the tip of the iceberg.
