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!

Posted on: UNLV president demoted to university faculty spot

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.

Carol J:

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.

wow, I love the naysayers. Be positive already. There isn't a whole lot to cheer about in Rebels Men's sports.

Posted on: Regent says he won't travel to board meetings in Northern Nevada

Look at this guy. He was always sick, dismissive, crabby at the meetings. Pretty worthless if you ask me. With his irascible character, he liked to pop off at meetings. I think meetings will be more efficient without him. If anything, mute the phone when he starts blabbering.

To think he wants to find ways out of meetings, and Regent Rosenberg is fighting to stay involved. Just shows the differing character of these "gentlemen."
