Head start: Bollinger will develop vision for 'U'
On Friday, students, faculty and distinguished educators filled Hill Auditorium for Lee Bollinger's inauguration as the University's 12th president. The festive ceremony provided a perfect platform for Bollinger to introduce his vision for the University.
Faring well? Work requirements excessive for students
All students face the challenge of succeeding at the University: Hundreds of pages of reading, papers, quizzes, problem sets - most feel the strain. Yet some students face more - welfare recipients.
