Same. I don't see the 25% reduction being possible and I'm not the only one. Some friends and acquaintances who study higher ed for a living don't see...

The new territory for the NCAA will be a multi-campus university with each campus directly competing against the others. This isn't necessarily seen right...

[Fightingscot82]

I don't see sports being consolidated because they've done the math and sports bring students. It's easy to be pessimistic about the plan but we have...

In the document I received from Edinboro, it explained that the name change will be a shared identity with campus identifiers. I imagine that means something...

I think an upside is that maybe Cal has a superior way of managing and funding athletics and the other two adjust for the better....

[Fightingscot82]

Unsure. I think the only thing the NCAA would deny is one campus having multiple athletic departments....

[Fightingscot82]

Funny thing is, there's no way for the schools to be truly bankrupt. Cheyney was allowed to run on a deficit for years and ended up accumulating operational...

That's just poor research. There are several examples. University of Southern Illinois is one. Fairleigh Dickinson University is another. Long Island...

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....

Shepherd is public but a WV state school.

I believe the timing for a vote on a PSAC-sponsored spring football season was ill-timed. The time...

I don't know. I've seen it done that you can provide receptionist staffing and some basic admin work with a good fleet of student workers. Older and more...

It depends. There are two classifications: Clerk Typist and Management Technician. Each has tiers as well. Clerk Typist is your basic secretary/receptionist....

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...

That's a good move. It used to be that every office needed an adult to receive visitors, answer phones, type, etc. In all honesty, those skills are so...

[Fightingscot82]

794 at Seton Hill HAS to include players on both teams plus gameday staffing. No offense to SHU but the away side sometimes has more fans than the home...

[Fightingscot82]

You're right, they could have. I believe the vote was during a time of surging cases, which would make sense. Or its an opportunity to save some money....

I'm a Costco enthusiast and have started reading on their business model since the holidays when I noticed their prices were lower than nearly anyone...

[Fightingscot82]

Costco starts at $16 an hour plus they offer pretty solid benefits for hourly retail. Nationally, in-store employees actually average $24/hour. It doesn't...

President at St. Bonaventure died overnight from Covid....

Pennsylvania has just eased their large group attendance guidelines (policy? law? recommendations?). Indoor events can now have 15% capacity and outdoor...
