Like most University officials, the trustees are too standoff-ish and aloof, and all too frequently, it shows. In other University spring events, the GEO continues to protest and campaign for union recognition. The organization has recently added the threat of a strike to its repetoire. I applaud the GEO for such a threat. I am sure the University will appreciate the opportunity to replace them with students that appreciate the opportunity to attend an institution of higher learning.
Spring is a time of renewal and new things.
It would indeed be an appropriate time to overhaul the graduate student population. The standoff between the University and the GEO is just starting to get interesting. Finally, as we approach the end of what has been definitely the fastest semester ever known to human kind, graduation looms closer - for some of us. In the coming months, some seniors will start graduate school, professional school of some sort and others will find jobs with any luck. The coming months provide the proverbial fork in the road for every senior, and they have to set out on the rest of their lives.
