    OMG: I'm sorry for posting so late, I just found two ticks on me I flicked off....

    I thought it was just me. Pulled one off 10 days ago, vet said yeah they've been seeing them since mid-March. Long pants/long sleeves and make sure the dogs are dosed on Bravecto. The neighbor also told me he saw an article a month ago that Lymes disease was a 'laboratory escape' pathogen, said...

    BOT Elections are now Live!

    Got Barry's email Saturday and then forwarded it to our Penn State family. We all bullet voted Barry. Good luck, Barry, you're our last hope.

    Legal / Election Update

    And what do we have here? Threats against other trustees? Who could possibly do that and get away with it?

    Legal / Election Update

    I was hoping you'd drop the other shoe. I read the complaint and can see why it took a bit to get that filed. Not much time until the ballots are out there so I guess the court is going to have to move fast. Let us know when you're going to be in front of the judge, it will be worth a run up to...

    Neeli's got her resume updated

    I literally tune her out when she starts nattering on and God bless my hearing aids. But I remember one of her first speeches where she swore "I have had a wonderful academic career but Penn State is my last stop. I will retire from here." Followed by a very annoying giggle fit.

    Neeli's got her resume updated

    Kevin has his ear to the ground in town and is a lawyer so I think he's pretty careful about what he posts. If true then Neeli's got one foot out the door, but I can't see where she'd get more money than the Brinks truck BOT Chair Dave Kleppinger has backing into her bank account every two...

    FC: Beaver Stadium Naming Rights?

    Nobody. $3.3 mil/year is the absolute best they could do.

    FC: An update on factors informing the Commonwealth Campuses recommendation

    Sadly, I agree. But it's been proven that, along with walk-able communities, having great libraries and a notable institution of higher education are the easiest ways to increase an area's value and attraction to better paying employers. That was my point. Even though Mont Alto offers 8 BA's...

    FC: Beaver Stadium Naming Rights?

    Kevin Horne also reporting West Shore Homes Field at Beaver Stadium. FFS. Didn't the BOT hire some marketing firm that was going to come in and get a huge national name to give Penn State mega-bucks for the field naming rights? Instead the best they can do is a local building company known for...

    FC: An update on factors informing the Commonwealth Campuses recommendation

    I think it's been pointed out over the last few years that University Park has been making offers to Commonwealth Campus students who, historically, would not have had the grades/SAT's to qualify for main campus and who *really* needed the high-quality, small-campus two year programs that would...

    Legal Update:

    They are not going to steal my vote, and I'm going to work hard to make sure they aren't going to steal any alumni's vote. Hope someday you can share what you found when you got access to what they were desperate to keep you from getting. Fight on.

    BOT Subcommittee Voted to Remove Barry Fenchak from Alumni Trustee Ballot

    And our General Counsel, Tabitha Oman, seems to be following in Cynthia Baldwin's footsteps. Now maybe the legal eagles here on McAndrew can correct me, but I was under the impression that the judge's protective order from October 9th was still in effect? Because he told Penn State on January...

    This month's BOT meeting update:

    "Penn State does not obligate itself to make the selection for this design-build contract based on lowest cost..." JFC who is running this clown show? "Yeah, boss, but Clayco took us on a boondoggle tour of their work and seem like great people. I know the money is going out-of-state, but it...
