Those concerns are weighing heavily on UAW members, who are very much aware that VEBAs at Caterpillar and Detroit Diesel have gone bankrupt. Three former UAW executive board members recently signed a letter criticizing the VEBA plan as "knowingly placing members at risk." The other option, though, is losing retiree health benefits entirely. "If you don't go along with a VEBA, the automakers may reach a point where the only alternative is to file Chapter 11," says Eric Merkle of IRN Automotive Intelligence.

Ragalie, who said that UC documents from 1992 onward would continue to be scanned into the online archive database during the semester, recalled that the work of compiling the new application was not just...
...shameful to see that the administrators in charge of pushing General Education afforded themselves vacations in lieu of taking even baby steps in the march to implement the new curriculum. Reinvigorating Harvard’s Core will require a Herculean effort, and sloth is not an option. This delay in curricular development has already had consequences for the newest crop of freshmen. When the Class of 2011 arrived on campus, their revamped advising system contained hardly a mention of Gen Ed, but many a mention of the Core. “We were taught to act as if there...
