...position, which will entail overseeing 165 employees and a $28 million budget, has consequently been held on an interim basis by current senior vice chancellor and chief financial officer Ric Porreca, according to CU-Boulder spokesman Bronson R. Hilliard...
...proposed system of selectively excluding some students from housing during J-Term is misguided at best and dishonest at worst. The university’s current approach to J-Term housing seems overly and unnecessarily restrictive. Current guidelines suggest that only thesis writers with a compelling research need, students working in labs, international students, and members of 19 varsity sports teams have been categorized as groups likely guaranteed to be approved. This narrow categorization leaves out many other students who may have a strong reason for requiring housing. For example, those participating in community-service programs, those constrained by financial...
...marginal cost of keeping additional students beyond the current upper limit of 1,000 would not actually be very high. Especially if, for example, the College is already willing to heat the suite of a senior thesis writer doing research, while barring his roommate who would be writing a thesis but not doing research on campus.

...contrast to Thaksin's iron-fisted approach, the current government led by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has adopted a far more conciliatory attitude toward Thai Muslims. He has unveiled a $1 billion-plus economic stimulus plan for Thailand's deep south in an effort to counter deep-seated Muslim antipathy toward the central government. But despite the rubber-plantation and road projects, these three southernmost provinces have also turned into a giant militarized zone over the past couple years. Some 60,000 Thai military and police forces patrol the region, a troop surge that has frightened many locals who complain...
