PASSHE Institutions Merging

[boatcapt]

As I indicated to consider this editorial direction, if it is the case, does not come close to making either of these papers "left wing" unless you are so far right it appears so from your prospective. They would never come close to endorsing the policies of the far left. Center left at the most and that is really very weak.

A term in the current lexicon - Institutional Bias. While the NYT and WAPO as institutions do not specifically say they are indorsing the policies of the far left, the culture and makeup of their newsrooms and the stories they chose to publish show their bias.

If they have so much in reserves why do they need so many walk ons for foosball?

Because they saw what happens when a university pours every possible dime into athletics. It crashes. At least that parking garage is finally getting fixed.

Funny you use the word equate. Most folks just want to be treated equally...You know tax cuts for EVERYBODY...Healthcare for EVERYBODY...Put yourself in someone else's shoes for a second, and you might see it too...Maybe you are too far up in your ivory tower to notice...

Hahahahaha! High up in my ivory tower...that's funny! Whatever floor of the ivory tower I occupy, I have gotten there by hard work and inspite of race and sex based discrimination I have had to endure. I can count four jobs that I know of that I did not get hired for because of my skin color or sex...those are the ones I've known about. In one case I actually went to EEO and tried to file race based discrimination charges...The EEO specialist said that I clearly was discriminated against based on my race BUUUUTTTT that since I was not one of the "protected classes," I was forbidden from filing any EEO complaints. In her words, it is OK to discriminate based on race and sex as long as the person is white and male. I've walked into bars in NY, Miami, Philadelphia, etc and been told that they don't serve "my kind" and that I should leave before things "got ugly." I remember applying for a particular scholarship at the Univ of MD and being told when they returned my application that the scholarship was not for me because I was the "wrong color." As I progressed in my career, I moved into a number of management and leadership positions that included "hiring authority." Over the years, I would say that I have interviewed and selected over 200 individuals for positions. In at least 75% of the jobs, I received two selection lists from HR...a "diversity list" and a "best qualified" list. If I hired off the diversity list, no questions were asked about my selection process and no justification needed to be provided. If I selected off the best qualified list, I had to spend about a week (on average) justifying my selection, having my selection process reviewed and questioned and endure a "diversity review" of my work unit. On at least four separate occasions, my boss at the time specifically instructed me to select ONLY from the diversity list.

Bless your heart.

Aren't you sweet.

But Fox News and Breitbart are fair and balanced?

Nope. Never said they were...unlike those that still describe the NYT and WAPO as fair.

There were times

There were times when you could be executed for stealing a horse...I think we need a constitutional amendment protecting horse thiefs because there was a time when we executed them.
Worth noting, a "breeder" can be fired for having too many children. It even has its own discrimination title - Family Responsibility Discrimination or FRD. Guess they need their own constitutional amendment protecting them also.

And infants will get protection at the point of conception.

Most of the schools are still staffed for the 2010-11 peak. Any dip in revenue hurts, but a 30% drop really hurts. Chipping away at their reserves isn't good. West Chester's reserves are keeping everyone afloat.

Tell that to folks who had to sit in the back of the bus...In fact, right now there's a very good chance women will lose the right to their own reproductive choices...

[IUPNation]

They aren't "defending their rights," they are asking for special consideration based solely on their sexual orientation.

"Current political climate" is the problem at the NYT and WAPO. Weather you like it or not, these two publications have become little more than left-wing editorial outlets that do not tolerate discenting views or opinions...in the news room, on social media and certainly not in actual stories. The unchecked attacks by fellow reporters on Weiss and the forced resignation of Bennet speak LOUDLY about the state of the current news room across the nation...Only one political view will be tolerated and if you stray from that, you open yourself up to personal attacks and run a real risk of being fired. If you are a report at the NYT, WAPO or almost any other news paper across the US and you have ANY "non-conforming" view points, EVERY day you go to work you are going into a hostile work environment.

Journalism, true journalism, is uncovering of facts, pro and con, and presenting them in context. If you ignore facts that don't conform with your view OR sque facts to to meet a particular purpose, you are not a journalist...you are an editorialist. And a paper that allows and often openly encourages this is not being fair and impartial in it's reporting regardless of it's public statements. That is what the NYT has allowed itself to become...little more that the unofficial propaganda outlet for the left-wing democratic socialist movement.

But Fox News and Breitbart are fair and balanced?

All Americans have the same rights. They are contained in the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution. No were in those rights does it say that these do not apply to LGB, or ANY other group for that matter.

Bless your heart.

Depends on where you live....
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...constitutional

Given the likely future make up of SCOTUS, I expect these remaining laws will be enforceable within the decade. At that time all Americans will once again, by law, not have the same rights. Also expect to see the Voting Rights Act of 1965 neutered if not voided entirely. Of course, Roe will be gone by the end of '21.

And you fail to point out that this law was struck down as unconstitutional...17 years ago.

Yea and it is also illegal to practice occult arts in Oregon...in RI you can get up to 20 years for slitting someones nose or ear...in NC you can't hold a meeting while wearing a mask...in NY you can only wear a mask if you receive "proper approval"...in NH a fetus at 20-weeks becomes a person entitled to legal protection, except if the mother wants to have an abortion. In that case, the "person" is not protected...in Nebraska it is illegal to get married if you have a venerial disease...in Mississippi it is illegal to have two illegitimate children...in Mass it is illegal to sing the Star Spangled Banner incorrectly...in Maryland, you can't curse in public...in GA it is illegal to eat fried chicken with a fork...in Arkansas it is against the law to pronounce the name of the state incorrectly...and in Alabama, it is illegal to have, keep, sell or use silly string and snap pops.

My personal favorite, in Florida it is illegal to become a member of or advocate for any anarchist or communist group or organization.

Interesting that IUP is considered unstable. It just shows that amount of students don't matter. These schools have a lot of expenses, and can't lose enrollment or their finances are hurt.

Most of the schools are still staffed for the 2010-11 peak. Any dip in revenue hurts, but a 30% drop really hurts. Chipping away at their reserves isn't good. West Chester's reserves are keeping everyone afloat.
