Wow Bill! That is amazing. What a fantastic fun-filled fact!
And a real quality piece of journalism, too. You professionals
really find those facts and check them out closely don't you?
Gosh, how do I become a professional jounalist, too?
Presumably, there is a reason for ceremonies like the
inauguration. What would it be?
Of course, the big wig administrators might have been sitting
around brainstorming on how to waste $188,000. They might have
bounced ideas off each other for hours, finally deciding that an
inauguration ceremony would be just the thing. But, I don't
believe it. I believe that the big poo-bahs actually had a
purpose in mind.
You can think of it Bill. Remember, if it happened at WSU, you'd
be FLACKIN' it, not ATTACKIN' it.
Community building. That's the answer. Those dumb old U of I
administrators think that ceremonies like the inauguration
actually are academic community building activities. Isn't that
funny? I'm so glad that I have the fun facts on them now.
So here we have Bill London, the self-proclaimed founder and
leader of Moscow Vision 20/20, which claims to be interested in
community building, uncorking his blockbusting investigative
reporting article, attacking the U of I's attempt at...
community building.
Is this a turf battle? Did those "suits" start horning in on
your territory? It's ok if they sit in their offices and push
numbers around spreadsheets. But if they do any kind of
community building activities; boy, they better watch out for
Bill London. That's _his_ turf.
I just hope that you don't have the same sharp-penciled and hard-
nosed accountant that exposed the FUN FACT look with the same
jaundiced eye at the cost to the U of I of hosting this
vision2020 listserver. That community building can be expensive
stuff, you know.
