Financial Times (FT) has come out with a ranking of Europe’s top business schools for the 2007/2008 academic year. If you aspire to take an MBA to add your marketability and enhance your career, these are the schools that you need to be aiming at. Many of the institutions to date have produced recognized business leaders and their country’s decision makers. The ranking is determined by a number of factors and perimeters such as the position in the European school list, the average MBA salary,Cannon Fodder
There’s been a great deal of talk lately about universities’ making SAT scores optional for admission or dropping them entirely; today, Kimberly Swygert pointed to this article in the WSJ. Many of the articles about this topic have been of the moaning variety, largely because the authors are making unwarranted assumptions. Let’s get a couple of things out of the way first, points I will expand in a moment.

I stumbled across this letter written by Dr. Fred W. Decker, Professor of Meteorology, Oregon State University, Corvalis, Oregon to the opinion page of the Albany, Oregon Democrat Gazette. We are either placing too much faith in stupid people or data is being manipulated to support the global warming hoax.

What should we do about global warming? The first is consciousness – consume as little as you can, go for all the energy-saving devices now being advertised, use less electricity and so on. You can save considerable amounts of CO2 through simple actions: Here are some approximate savings: 2000 Kg pa by replacing your electric hot water with solar; 900 Kg by turning your winter thermostat down 2 degrees and wearing a singlet; Perhaps 700 Kg by walking your kids to school, or car-pooling – alsMore than beer and biscuits

A commenter to yesterday's post about compensating staff made a point I've wondered about before. It's worth contemplating – not advocating, just contemplating – at some length. Given the crazy-high ratios of applicants to full-time faculty jobs in many disciplines, why not lower the wages to a 'market clearing' level? Or, to make the same argument from the left, why not give adjuncts salary parity? Right now, higher-than-market full-time faculty salaries are subsidized by astonishingly low aSocial Work Dean to lead University of Illinois at Chicago

When I was a student at Southwestern Seminary in Ft. Worth, TX, I was privileged to sit under the instruction of Dr. Jack MacGorman, longtime professor of New Testament.
