My bosses, the
Board of Regents, are coming to Madison Thursday and Friday. That means
no parking in the Mundt Library lot, even if you have a permit. That also means you can come watch education policy being made (mmm, sausage...). The parts (just
parts?) of the meetings open to the public:
- Thursday 10 a.m. to noon
- Thursday 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
- Friday 9:30 a.m. to noon
There's also a campus forum Thursday at 3:30 p.m. for DSU staff and students. The pay date switching scheme and the system-wide laptop initiative are
on hold for a year, but there should still be plenty to ask the Regents about.
Also on the
Regents' agenda, a reception at
Dr. Knowlton's new house on 1022 NE 9th Thursday evening (that was fast!), and a Friday 7:30 breakfast with local legislators at the Trojan Center (give 'em heck,
Gerry!).
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Gerry is not in yet. Just like your pal, Obama, Lange will have to wait to be sworn in. I'm sure he'll be there anyway as a concerned taxpayer. Hopefully, no shoe tossing.
ReplyDeletePop! :-)
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, I'm sure the Regents will be as interested in having a nice bacon-and-eggs discussion with the incoming legislators who will actually be appropriating funds as in inviting the outgoing legislators for pleasantries and thank-yous.
What funds????
