That was my attempt at humor. I was making fun of myself.

Yes 712, this has already been announced! It will be back up and running sooner than you think. Thanks! jc

It would be interesting to know how retention rates might be affected by residence hall "blender mix". E.g., are first year students more or less likely to return if they are all coralled into halls with the other incoming students? Might the positive influence of a few upperclass mentors on their floor inspire them to return? Do upperclass students feel they have earned the privilege of living on a floor without any first year students raising the occasional raucous? In a perfect campus environment with no residence halls having significant accomodation and/or location advantages, I would try to distribute the classes across all residence halls. We are not perfect and I dont know who is.

I hope the administrators are buying lottery tickets. This is a good week if you need to come up with 30M for maintenance.

How does Jack Thomas still have a job here?

I have no personal resentment towards the man. However just like D-1 coaches if you don't get it done you get gone.

Maybe JB Pritz. will undo some of the crippling damage caused by Rauner or Rauner's ego....not sure which one was in charge.


Rauner F***** over Western Illinois harder than I ever dreamed a politician could do. Don't Doctors take othes to do no harm?

Rauner prides himself on his Ivy Edu. Our State got worse.
