Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

While we are on the subject (from yesterday) of things happening in school that I do not like, here is another.

The marketing officer said recently that she does not want to put the building façade and the mountain behind it in any of our tarpaulins anymore. Instead she wants to show people in action, and the one that she has right now that is advertising the open house is just a close up of a girl with some books and a little nature seen behind her.

This is exactly what our main competition, already with their lower tuition fee and freshman population equal to our entire college enrollment, is doing. Yes it is effective for them, but we have much more than they have. They are beside the expressway for Pete’s sake.

If we show the visage and the entire scope of the view, unlike that side of the former warehouse and the view of the expressway of the other school (who cares about their track oval we do have the space for it), it will clearly show everyone what we have that they do not have, and does not necessitate people having to come here to see it.

@@ Okay, I just heard the director of the school of engineering talking to two students out of a group of three who are supposed to be making their final project right about now.

What he suggested to them is attaching a camera and motors to a telescope tube and tracking the moon (or possibly the sun, I might add) across the sky using either software or hardware.

It will be different from what my students in the main campus did before, which is to allow the software to track the heavenly bodies based on calculations and a set initial position.

I do not know if they will do it, but it will definitely be not as costly and not as difficult as the previous project.

@@ A meeting of the college faculty association just finished. Besides talking about the questionable hiring, renewal, reclassification and permanency practices of the administration, I also finally got the whole story on a complaint made by a very vocal student against one of the faculty members, who is also a graduate of ours.

There was a question of whether due process was followed in the administration deciding who is at fault.

Was there actually a board with representatives from all sectors who decided on the issue?

Can it not be proven that from the initial approach of the student he just saw a small (but not really reasonable) hole on which to base his argument and he used that and a lot of other retroactive reasoning to build his supposed case against the young teacher?

Session 2985 should keep the rest of the elements of the case private for now. Class dismissed.
