Sunday Breakdown: Road to BU crisis leads back to trustees
Road to BU crisis leads back to trustees, writes Marcella Bombardieri for the Globe.
Campus Insider: BU interim prez approves inauguration holiday; two of the Romney-appointed trustees haven't shown up to the first UMass Board meeting last week (sidenote: I'm told that Romney will be meeting with the trustees November 17; I might get to tag along - more details when I get them); small summary of judge's opinion to let Solomon Amendment case move forward; journalist and Harvard fellow Ellen Hume at UMass Boston. (see University Reporter profile from October, and the project she's working on.)
Duck Season's Nick comments on an article in this week's Mass Media.

State House News: Those interested in succeeding William Bulger as president of the University of Massachusetts have been instructed to apply by Nov. 15. A 20-person presidential search committee is co-chaired by two university alumna, Boston attorney Diane Bissonette Moes and Raytheon executive Dennis Austin. Ads announcing the search have already run and applicants have been invited to send resumes to a Dallas search firm engaged to conduct the search. Trustees hope to have a new president on board by next fall.
Matthew Yglesias and David Bernstein for Volokh talk about the Stanford Daily's printing of a controversial ad.
How Appealing on the Solomon Amendment cases being ruled to continue.
Newsday: Colleges fined for environmental violations. (via volokh)
Peter Reuell for the Milford Daily News: "College campuses have long been considered a hotbed of political activism, a place where energetic young minds collide with new ideals and causes... So why, then, do most college students say they don't care about politics?"
UMass Dartmouth cops train to spot rape drug, in today's Herald.
Both Steve Silver and Jawsblog's Josh linked to a letter to the editor of the Waltham News Tribune, which someone alerted to me a while back but I never got a chance to blog.
