...national recession, and yet the majority of complaints given to the UC in the past six months have been about the inadequacies of cold cuts and hard-boiled eggs. I have attended countless meetings with administrators discussing student dissatisfaction on this issue, but each conversation comes back to the question of why students care so much. What I finally realized is that hot breakfast symbolizes much more than food. The frustration is indicative of a greater misunderstanding about the budget-cut process—and a greater distrust about what steps have been taken since hot breakfast was removed...
There is no question that this is where research is moving: the Harvard Task Force on University Libraries’ report, which came out last week, stated: “Perhaps most destabilizing to our operating model is the digital revolution.

Reforms have been stalling on Capitol Hill for a decade. Scandals haven't stopped the madness, and neither has the drowning of a great city. Maybe Judge Duval's ruling will change everything. But if you live in southern Louisiana, you still might want to elevate your home...
