Posted on: UNLV president demoted to university faculty spot

Thanks for the grammar lesson NNurse. Must be my NSHE education shining through.

Carol Harter = Bonnie Ashley. No way!

So far I have the Provost 3, Morgan 1.

Will Ashley go back to the faculty or is he going to lay low for a while? Discuss.

Look into the various shuttles that go to and from Sam's Town. With Sam's, Eastside Cannery, and the gritty Longhorn, there are a few low roller joints on Boulder.

Posted on: Sisters beat odds against Hispanics to earn degrees

Excerpt: "Adding to the difficulty of learning English, some K-12 teachers “demonize” Spanish, telling Spanish-speaking children that using their native language is bad, said Christine Clark, UNLV’s vice president of diversity and inclusion."

Who is this Christine Clark, and what is she talking about? Spanish isn't "bad," it's just that people who know how to get ahead in our society know English, and probably some other languages too. Instead of being so negative, why not emphasize the strengths non-native speakers will cultivate by being bilingual.

Let's not be all militant here Ms. Clark. You don't surprise me at all.
