U.S. Universities Rush to Set Up Outposts Abroad


It's a long but worth reading piece in the NY Times. This and not bombs is how we will solve the problems in the Middle East.

Curious about how bad the budget crisis might get?

Read This
It's not pretty.

I visited the sites for all eleven of Florida's universities today.

Only one has any reflection of what is going on with the budget.  It really is like the housing bubble.  Everyone should have seen it coming but so few were willing to actually talk about it or what it meant.  It gives me pause.

That school?  Florida State University.  That President T.K. Wetherell.

I still plan to have more on this issue soon.

It's not the school.
It's not the degree.
It's your personal plan.

You need a five year plan.
