After reading this postmodern contribution to contemporary discourse on the state of higher education, I believe that it's time for me to pitch a few ideas to IHE. To clarify matters, of course, I will identify the allegorical correspondences between my columns' ostensible subjects and their real meanings.
- Today, I threw a lot of toy catnip mice for my three new kittens. They charged up and down the room, looking excited. (How to conduct effective college orientation sessions for incoming students)
- Getting your old car repaired can be really expensive. (What's the best way of raising funds to replace aging campus infrastructure?)
- How many of you have baked brownies and discovered that they just wouldn't set? (Counseling faculty with research productivity problems)
- I hate carrots. (Faculty resistance to assessment procedures)
- Is there anything more refreshing than a can of icy soda on a hot day? But too much soda can have consequences for your health. (Pros and cons of merit increases)
- Mac or PC? (Online vs. face-to-face instruction)
- The weather. How about it, eh? (The problem of course evaluations)
This is the best thing I've read all week. Please write at least three of these articles as soon as you have time.
I would also be interested in a piece about having one's teeth flossed at the dentist (the challenges posed by deferred maintenance).
