...lend themselves to mixing academic media, sometimes even by design. But demanding the same flexibility from a graduate student TF writing a dissertation on, say, designing the American city or something, is an entirely different matter. Academics are trained in specific disciplines defined by their methodologies, not in the content-oriented subject headings of the proposed new curriculum. The experience of the Core demonstrated that to expect professors to teach “modes of inquiry” was to expect too much. Expecting the new curriculum to keep its cross-disciplinary shape under the stewardship of committed disciplinarian...
...complaint has been referred to the university’s legal counsel. “Both the student newspaper and the Student Council are a very important part of life on campus,” Careaga said. “The university has never attempted to censor the content of The Missouri Miner,” he added. Neither University of Missouri President Elson S. Floyd nor the University of Missouri Board of Curators could be reached for comment.

There’s very little about this so-called “scandal” that makes sense. First, the only way Snickers can be seen as anti-gay is if you look at its fat content. Even there, Snickers has introduced its Marathon Energy bar, with about half the fat and 100 percent of the minimum daily requirement of 16 vitamins and minerals...
...Kardashian, I think, has a hard life. Not only must she carry an absolutely shiteous, metallic tote bag to the beach while she and Paris are vacationing in Australia (just so she and Paris can have matching shiteous tote bags in almost neon shades of bronze), she must also content herself with the knowledge that no one really wants to take a picture of her. Paparazzi would rather have a picture of Paris’ pet chihuaha than one of Kim Kardashian topless. It must be upsetting. At New York’s annual Fashion Week, however, it is time...
