Beyond that likely event, there was a bipartisan chorus of opposition to the original decision. Several colleges in the South, Midwest and throughout the country filed “Friend of the Court” briefs in support of Harvard & MIT’s petition. It is, after all, an election year.
I wish the were true Kaizen, but team Good has been having a tough time with team Evil of late. Team Good desperately needs a big right about now.
Sometimes they do, but...
Very true, but I hear team Good is getting a very good point guard.......
I hope her last name is Fudd ....
Fudd. Hmmmm.... I've heard that name before. Can't quite place where. Not that Elmer puddy cat guy, he doesn't seem to be the point guard type and besides is he is a cartoon. Give me a minute and I'll think where I heard about this Fudd person. Oh, I know! Every gol durn post in the last 6 months.
I was biking by my local middle school yesterday when I had a “brilliant” idea.
Why not use campus space to set up tents to house outdoor classrooms where students can safely social distance. Of course it would be problematic in upstate NY once the weather turns cold, but maybe it’s a start.
When my son was a freshman at Rice, he got a nice sweater for Christmas. But he never had an opportunity to wear it in the spring semester, because even January temps were too high. Houston has lots of heavy showers; those and heat are more likely to be problems than cold. It was 98 degrees there today.I was biking by my local middle school yesterday when I had a “brilliant” idea.
With that in mind, I just read that Rice University is doing exactly that. They have ordered 5 large circus tents, which will be set up on campus. I would not be surprised if other colleges and universities follow suit, using campus courtyards and even athletic fields to set up similar facilities. That doesn’t necessarily solve the problems related to congregant dorms and cafeterias, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction.
Heaters and air conditioners are wonderful things. I remember a business trip to Houston in January where it snowed. I also remember a June Boston trip where it snowed and a November Boston trip in the 80's. Portable classrooms with the proper support give maximum flexibility no matter what climate change has in store. Great idea. Could also help reduce the brink and mortar costs of colleges but another topic for another day.When my son was a freshman at Rice, he got a nice sweater for Christmas.

I suppose the use of outdoor tents could make this whole thing a "circus."
I think "team good" needs bigs!
