THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR BEGINS. The Northern Illinois University calendar specifies that the week of August 21-25 is for faculty meetings, and the Committees of the University booklet is thicker than an Amtrak timetable (and somewhat more precise about the timekeeping!)

From Despair, Inc., a little reminder to colleagues at Northern Illinois and elsewhere.


Teach your students well. Keep Michael Munger's words in mind. It's what goes on between meetings that counts.
