What possible positive outcome he thought could from this, I just don’t know.<br /><br />Not sure about helping students move in, but move out I could probably get EC1https://www.blogger.com/profile/13414931249618049097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-27298598053239389122016-06-10T13:45:36.098-04:002016-06-10T13:45:36.098-04:00my university suggests it every year and every yea...my university suggests it every year and every year I ignore it.

For example, my apartment has a water stain in the corner and a nonoperating electrical receptacle which the landlord has been slow to fix. But, my provost apparently has plenty of spare time to change my students' grades, so maybe he should take care of lange tijd lezernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-48342867464409331442016-06-09T10:21:02.392-04:002016-06-09T10:21:02.392-04:00And just think, this dean by now is likely a provo...And just think, this dean by now is likely a provost or university president, and no doubt is still drunk on the same Kool Aid. I can't decide what about this is most cringe-worthy: the newly extended range of this idiot's terrible ideas, the salary drawn for this tomfoolery, the expanded size and cost of the staff team used to inflict these abominations, or the adjunct salaries used to Froderick Frankenstien from Fresnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11653942918068535424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-45595114810054675892016-06-09T09:16:26.916-04:002016-06-09T09:16:26.916-04:00Y'all are Bernie Sanders.
