UT's Officially Disapproved Information Source and HISTORICAL ARCHIVE. The only source of truth, where Paradox Manifests: Hundreds of thousands of visits. Yet No One Admits to Reading It. Welcome to the "Grey Area" where "Unethical Utterances," i.e., criticisms of administrators, are commonplace. Make U.U. here where genuine civility still reigns, a.k.a., freedom......................... UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO'S EQUIVALENT TO RADIO FREE EUROPE
Jacobs' arrogance is astonishing
It's the same old, same old at UT
. . . . Either Jacobs is misleading the media or he has misled the Board of Trustees. President Jacobs objected to "the general tone" of the UT-AAUP Newsletter. Many persons on this campus object to the "general tone" of the Jacobs Administration. During his tenure as President, he has introduced an administrative culture of fear and intimidation. . . . A point of logic must be raised here, with all respect to UT AAUP, the conclusions that President Jacobs has (1) misled the media and (2) the Board of Trustees are not mutually exclusive. Both would seem likely given his considerable talent at spinning "visions." |

The Dismantling of Higher Education and American Culture
Check out David “Why I am no longer a brain-dead liberal” Mamet’s new book, “The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture” (look it up at amazon.com).
Among other things, Mamet’s book points to many of the issues surrounding the mutual dismantling of higher education and American culture.
Also see his NRO interview here:

Was there that much planning involved in the synergy debacle?
The dismantling appears more like punishment to the heretical Arts and Sciences Council and the diverse faculty it represented. How dare they think on their own without Jacobian prescription!
Correct. Institutionalizing a concept like synergy across a diverse university curriculum is realized by building an Arts & Sciences College and not by destroying one. Fortunately this present Jacobs era of brainless megalomania and flatulent excess will soon be history.
