Random Points of Interest

Well, it’s been a very interesting week. I’m just going to throw together a few things that caught my eye and made me think. Freeform link posting with commentary. Let’s boogie.

Local College Cuts Staff in Attempt to Make School Better - this is a brilliant move. The Board of Rockland Community College decides to get rid of 55 staff members in order to make sure they can improve the quality of the school. And in the process they gut several degree programs and raise tuition at the same time. Sounds brilliant to me. Oh yes, and after agreeing to not make any moves on staffing until June 30, they go ahead and pull a surprise agenda item at a meeting to make sure they can do what they feel they need to without too much protest. Nice move, jackasses.

Couple Pleads Innocent in Child Decapitations - just read this one. There are relatively few times I feel like screaming in incoherent rage. This kinda thing puts me over the top.

Ugh. That’s it, I gotta take a break for now.
