For some reason I really like reading Money Magazine. Their articles aren’t the most ground-breaking things on the face of the earth and in the financial world if you find out a new fact it’s obsolete within the hour, but I still like reading the magazine. I think it’s because of quick, small […]

While trolling over the internet, I came across an excellent essay by George Leef that I had to share. For those of you with an interest in college life and higher education overall, you have to read this essay. It’s a great combination of interesting, biting truth regarding the end results that we […]

MSNBC.com posted an article today that I found surprising and interesting. Apparently some of America’s highest-regarded institutes of higher learning are suggesting that graduating seniors take a year off before they start college. Fascinating! From the article:
It’s called a “gap year.” And while it’s been a common and popular rite of passage […]

Minding the Campus is a great website that keeps an eye on the many oddities that seem to take place at college campuses. You know these oddities - the private school that believes they do not have to follow American law, the public school that believes they can restrict a student’s right to freely […]

Last semester I taught a course and this semester I’m taking one. I’m nuts, huh? Most people who are on the verge of being 27 and already have a Masters Degree are doing all that they can to stay away from being a student in a classroom again!
Monmouth University is offering a course […]

For those of you who listen to the Howard Stern show, you’ll recognize the title of this post as Chris Rock’s reaction to learning that Howard Stern was engaged to be married. Hilarious! I felt that the quote was appropriate to verbalize what some of my friends and former classmates will think when […]

Once again, there are problems in Ocean Township. While the brainwashed masses (which seem to be dwindling) continue to rant and rave about the local off-campus college constituency and how they are ruining their “family neighborhoods,” it looks like those families aren’t so wholesome themselves…
From today’s Asbury Park Press (this has been edited to […]

After listening to Governor Mike Huckabee make a great comment during the ABC News Presidential debates tonight, I had to quote him here. When asked about illegal immigration and what he would do, Governor Huckabee said a bunch of things, but one quote caught my mind:
“When people live in the United States, they ought […]

Hello everyone. Over the last few weeks I’ve uploaded some 3400+ photos from 1995 - 2007 on Facebook.com. If any of you are interested in seeing this portion of my photo collection (I have a few thousand more pictures, but I probably won’t up load them) then go ahead and sign-up for a […]

The folks at MSNBC.com finally posted something worth reading. The other day they had an article that talked about how charities are finding it harder to plug the holes in their budgets with donations. As someone who makes a lot of donations each year and also works in and studies the nonprofit industry, […]

Earlier today a news brief was posted on the Daily Record’s website that spoke about the increase in students attending county colleges. Below is an excerpt of the release, which I’m sure will be made into a fuller article in the coming days:
The New Jersey Council of County Colleges says there are 158,152 students […]

Every once in a while you find a court case that is just a complete waste of taxpayers’ money and the system’s time. From my view, the recent court case against Monmouth University to block the construction of a 196-bed dorm is a great example of waste. There was no need to go […]
