Mass Media: MCAD To Investigate Claims of Homophobia, Discrimination 

New issue up early.

Top Story: "The Massachusetts Commission against Discrimination has launched an investigation on a grievance filed by William H. Percy, senior professor of History at UMass Boston..."

My interview with the vice chancellor of administration and finance, who is taking early retirement after four years at the university. An aide of former UMass president William Bulger, he previously spent fourteen years on the state Senate's Ways and Means Committee, when Bulger was the Massachusetts Senate's president.

In the interview, he comments on the recent report on state spending on prisons exceeding higher ed spending, and the budget situation.

UMass Boston Campus Shutdown Proposal Killed.

News Briefs: UMass Interim President Jack Wilson will be coming to the Boston campus December 12th, to meet with administration, students, and faculty, as well as tour the new Campus Center. Campus press availability is still being negotiated.

Also, The Mass Media is now "award-winning." We received a U-Wire Savvy for our website. Yes, yes, I know. Extremely odd and bewildering, to say the least.

The newspaper comes out in favor of gay marriage and the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling.

Someone takes issue with last issue's editorial on part-time faculty members.

For those picking up the print edition, for the third issue in a row, the printer messed up on the apostrophes. Isn't that just great.
