Brandeis Justice has more letters of apology, resignation
Dan Passner writes an apology to the community. A letter of resignation from the sports editor. Jawsblog's Josh has those and more.
Steve Silver has comments as well.
Last night, after getting home from Rock the Vote in Boston (lots of cool stuff to be blogged later), I got instant messaged by a Brandeis alum (whose blog is here):
LilBucner: campus press report, you humble even the nation's great dead tree publications in bringin it to us straight up
Masked Mouse: Hahaha. Thanks, I guess.
LilBucner: no prob
LilBucner: i have been following the brandeis story with some interest ..... not enough to blog about it my self but i am a 'deis alum
LilBucner: never put much faith in the justice when i was there so i'm not about to start now
LilBucner: but if they ever wanted to hit me up for money as an alum, they've lost any shot they had
Masked Mouse: Wow. I didn't know that many people were reading it.
Masked Mouse: Hahaha. Brandeis I hear is in a bit of debt, too.
LilBucner: yeah
LilBucner: oy
LilBucner: they always claim that
Masked Mouse: All the more reason to take more money, I guess.
LilBucner: i think a good fundraiser, seeing as how brandeis is only 50 some years old, would be to start killing off the first alumni to get the money from their wills
LilBucner: steve silver was my roommate senior year at the 'deis
Masked Mouse: Ah. That's how you heard about it?
LilBucner: from him for the most part, and then i've been reading the blog coverage
LilBucner: then other 'deis alumni friends of mine, who are also alumni of the sketch comedy troupe, were intrigued by th story when they saw it in the boston globe
Masked Mouse: Globe has talked with the Justice again today (or was it yesterday?), I'm told.
Masked Mouse: So it looks like there's definitely gonna be another story.
LilBucner: so i heard about it from them, and all the while kept up on the links between steve, jawsblog ( a guy i don't know but know via the blogosphere ... you know how it is) and your blog
LilBucner: interesting
LilBucner: yeah, jehuda reinharz has always been a huge tool
Masked Mouse: I've never heard of him before, but this first impression didn't impress me.
LilBucner: my freshman year (95-96) the big breaking storyin the Jusitce was how the University spent $600K on remodeling the President's house ...
LilBucner: he has a renoir in the bathroom, from what i've heard
LilBucner: student senate always gets invited to dinner at the president's house so friends of mine reported on that. nice to know my tuition dollars were/are hard at work
LilBucner: meanwhile they don't care much for tenuring the good profs .... only big names
Masked Mouse: Excellent place for a painting. The bathroom.
Masked Mouse: The student senate gets invited to dinners?
LilBucner: apparently it couldn't be exposed to natural light
LilBucner: AFAIK, they get invited to one a year
LilBucner: it's a big PR thing (go fig)
SEE ALSO: "Brandeis' bid to host the 16 annual National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness (NSCAHH) Conference was rejected. Instead the conference concluded Sunday at Trinity College in Hartford, CT.," writes Igor Pedan for the Justice.
"According to Union Treasurer Andrei Khots '05, Brandeis' bid of $5,945.17 was not enough. Khots said that he received confirmation from Paul Adler '04 that the conference was not going to occur and that the money could go back to Union Senate."
At UMass B., Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MassPIRG) Club tried to go the conference, but the funding was vetoed by the student government president. An emergency meeting was called by the senate to override the veto. And after that and more last-minute scrambling-- they didn't get to go 'cause the driver got sick. Full story in this week's Mass Media, of course.
