Re: Updates to faculty layoff plan and other stuff

A lot of lofty terminology that almost any university would write. Hopefully, particulars and specific plans to achieve this will follow. The current President is good at making lofty motivational type messages. Now, lets follow through with specifics. Not meant to be a negative comment. Sound good ...

Re: Homecoming Tailgate

So, who would be the"event staff" people? Volunteer's, students? I can't imagine them having much authority or even desire to get involved in too many issues.

Re: Homecoming Tailgate

Re: Homecoming Tailgate

Why oh why do poeple need to act like this. Drunks-plain and simple. Only takes this type of behavior to ruin it for everyone else.

Re: WIU vs South Dakota (9/30/17) - HOMECOMING!!!

Re: How is Dunkin Donuts coming along?

My post regarding Dunkin Donuts wasn't intended to demean Macomb or it's economy. Looking at the businesses that have left Macomb, I can see that any new business coming can be important.
