Why so little support from other MS faculty?
(Preview)
As an "outside observer," I guess I have been most surprised that you have not received more vocal support from other faculty at other institutitons inside MS. One would think they would really rally around to support you, but I haven't seen much evidence of this (perhaps I have overlooked it)...

How would Shelby handle this?
(Preview)
While riding through a virtual pipeline, I found this this letter from a president to the student body. I wonder how Shelby would handle something like this. (I already know that the students at that institution are likely thinking, "SPRING BREAK IS EARLY!")
