And the ride keeps continuing. Apprantley for police reports, you need to take out a small loan.

University Press student says FAU quotes him $17,000 price for records - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

This fella looks like a stand up guy…we need more students like this to be admitted into FAU….

That's mainly driven by the old up editor who was ousted and now he's got an axe to grind.

The guy who wrote the article saying the #WEareFAU movement was silly and misguided? Wasn't he the old editor there?

That explains a lot.

Step right up!

Hop on the Magical Merry Go Round!




Florida Atlantic University continues to assert its undisputed dominance as quite obviously the worst place in the United States to attend college.

The public, taxpayer-funded university has now adopted a draconian new “Free Speech and Campus Civility” policy, reports the free-speech watchdog group FIRE.

Florida Atlantic University is still the worst place in America to attend college - Yahoo! News

I'm not sure who this "watchdog" group is, but they and the author of this article seem to have some personal issues with FAU.  This is a baseless attack on the school.  I honestly don't know what they have a problem with here.  Who has an issue with FAU (or any other institution) saying:  “What we do insist on, however, is that everyone in the FAU community behave and speak to and about one another in ways that are not racist, religiously intolerant or otherwise degrading to others."?

What University doesn't have something like as a school policy?  Isn't this basically the Golden Rule?  Treat others how you want to be treated...Seems pretty standard to me.

I started to tweet that very notion at the guy who wrote it, but decided not to.

Better things to spend my energy on today!

The guy's an idiot. Disregard.

My plan exactly.

Hmmm…….

Florida Atlantic University has found a new way to soil itself and to once again prove that it will not give up in its perpetual quest to be the worst place in America to go to college.

This time, school officials at the public, taxpayer-funded university summoned Dylan Bouscher, the editor-in-chief of FAU’s University Press student newspaper, on disciplinary charges for having the audacity to practice routine journalism.
