Not a skipper
Halfway there today - but not in attendance. The University Board of Regents has conducted two presidential candidate interviews and will conduct the remaining two within the next week. On Monday, regents screened Carol Christ, and only a handful of students attended.
Carol Christ, Stanley Chodorow, Lee Bollinger and Larry Faulkner - one of these four candidates, after an extensive period of interviews and meetings, will be the University's next president. The meetings and interviews are all public, thanks to a lawsuit against the University by three major regional newspapers.
Downplaying diplomas
A record number of Americans are returning to school. According to a recent study that the Institute for Higher Education Policy and the Education Resource Institute conducted, enrollment of students age 40 and older in adult education classes has more than tripled since 1970. In spite of this trend, Michigan Gov. John Engler has proposed eliminating state-funded adult education for the over-20 crowd. Engler is overstepping the bounds of his power - public education is a fundamental right at any age.
