He and his brothers were great comedians. I almost took a course about them for Main Line School Night.

I would give you low Marx for the joke.

To top that I would have to kibbutz with someone who knew how to work Trotskyism into a sentence. That's why I've been Stalin.

Skip Bayless just signed a 4-year deal with Fox Sports for $32m.

She'll get a nice pay raise plus a smaller school without union and state BS.

She is making $278k at Ship. The last president at Lawrence was making $375k and change.

We're getting used as an internship in being a college president.

Update on Bloom's situation, which I am trying to figure out. Pandemic hit hard and PSSHE student to teacher ratio also hurt.

-$26 million shortfall since 2019-2020 school year
-received $16.6 million in COVID relief money
--$10 million loss of revenue because of pandemic (room and board fees were refunded last year)
-fees on activities and student housing to increase when they go back to normal in the fall
-91 jobs to be cut by 6-30-22 (after earlier reporting there would be no job cuts)
-70 of 91 furloughs will be non-faculty jobs
-14 administrators who left were not replaced
-21 temporary faculty chopped
-4% enrollment increase from 2020 spring

I received something similar about the western integration. Cal has been named as the hub campus simply because they have the most recent regional accreditation. That's a silly reason to me.

So it explains why that is. It's a matter of convenience. Upon further reflection, they are all accredited so why would the most recent matter?
