...doesn’t care enough about our student opinion, and it is for this reason that many students are apathetic. But by failing to vocalize opinions, students create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Furthermore, having had the opportunity to regularly interact with members of the search committee, we candidly attest to the fact that student opinions are indeed valued in this process. They are even eager to receive nominations of specific candidates from students. If you have been frustrated in the past and felt that your opinion was not sufficiently valued, then there is no better time than the present...

As most people who've tried it will attest, dieting with a goal of achieving lasting weight loss is all but guaranteed to fail. According to the Eating Disorders Foundation of Victoria, 95% of people who go on weight-loss diets regain everything they've lost and more within two years. But why? Do all these people lack self-control? Highly unlikely. Proponents...
