There is always one annoying bureaucratic thing after another, and nothing makes me angrier than that.<br /><br />Eric: dress code is just one of many things they are trying to sneak by us. There hasn't been any discussion of this yet. Nobody has seen the actual papers where this is proposed. So I don't know what penalties will be involved for those who do not comply.Clarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027134365260069910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-9396933654810268202010-12-03T18:37:05.847-05:002010-12-03T18:37:05.847-05:00eric, I think not complying is an option only afte...eric, I think not complying is an option only after one has tenure.Pagan Topologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611788563582362688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-4346021855413382392010-12-03T18:35:57.027-05:002010-12-03T18:35:57.027-05:00Oh, I understand.

What a bunch of losers. It's one step away from calling your students "customers" (something that has already taken place in the library world, but I insist on still calling library users "patrons"). So what happens if you don't comply?ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-62399122646198304162010-12-03T18:23:24.622-05:002010-12-03T18:23:24.622-05:00You know, this is really not about money for me.
