LETTER: College of Medicine progress is remarkable, needed
(01/25/12 12:55pm)
I have been following with great interest the progress being made by Central Michigan University in establishing the College of Medicine. The idea of a school of medicine focusing on training primary care physicians was being discussed during the last months of my tenure as a member of the board of trustees. Having accomplished so much in such a short period of time under the leadership of Chairman Dr. Sam Kottamasu, Dean Ernest Yoder, Provost E. Gary Shapiro and University President George Ross, is truly remarkable.

(11/28/11 1:20pm)
We’ve all read about the $550,000 being spent on the new Web-design, but what about more relevant information such as policies regarding guest speakers on campus? I’ve discovered a 20-year veteran employee within Central Michigan University who says there is “no formal written policy” and the whole process is “very informal.”

LETTER: Support Matt’s Safe School Law
(11/16/11 10:39pm)
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. Isn’t this the message that we want our kids to live by? But yet we sit there and encourage them to fight bullies, because that is just the process of “growing up,” or going through a “phase”? Wrong!

(11/07/11 2:00pm)
If there were ever any doubt about campus frustration over the disregard for shared governance by this Central Michigan University administration, the overwhelming Academic Senate vote on Nov. 1 to suspend further academic action involving the proposed CMU Medical School ought to put that doubt to rest.

LETTER: Justice for the Faculty Association
(09/30/11 12:40pm)
I am writing in reply to the open letter by Provost Shapiro that explains his perception of the negotiations between the administration and the CMU Faculty Association. I particularly appreciate that he brought a social justice focus to the issue. From my perspective, the administration has been very selective in applying the social justice principle that underlies their position and has applied it to limited criteria that suit their goals.
