...mention in the editorial that students can have no alternative choice of representation other than their resident dean. Again, this is incorrect. Students can ask for a Board alternate if they so choose and the Dean readily appoints one, ordinarily from the pool of Board members who are not also resident deans. In addition to the representative to the Board, a student can also ask for a personal advisor, someone who is an officer of FAS (a professor, coach, tutor, etc.), to come to their appearance before the Board or its subcommittee with them...
...state that the Board is primarily senior faculty members (that is incorrect also, as normally only two to three faculty members serve on the Board at any one time) and that resident deans are rarely taken seriously by tenured faculty. This is completely false. The resident deans are very much taken seriously and consulted by faculty members in several situations. There is no “voting bloc” on the Board, and there has been no intimidation of any member of the Board...

Before John Hodgman became a Daily Show correspondent and the physical embodiment of a PC computer, he enjoyed a bookish life as a freelance writer and author of fake trivia. His second book, More Information Than You Require, contains factually incorrect passages about U.S. Presidents, gambling, and the secret underground world of mole-men. Hodgman plans to turn his trivia books into a trilogy, but for the time being readers must be content with only two. More Information Than You Require comes out Oct. 21; Hodgman talks to TIME about the financial crisis, his accidental role as a minor television...
