Brief Break
Brief break from work to highlight two articles:
Brandeis University's The Justice is back, with this column by Yana Litovsky on the student press and incidents over the last couple of months that show a disrespect for it (or maybe a lack of understanding) across many campuses.
While scrolling through the Daily Free Press, I was surprised to find an article on the UMass Board of Trustee's committee meeting that took place yesterday. It focuses on the presentation given by the various heads of student affairs from the five campuses.
I do remember seeing somebody who I thought to be a fellow student reporter, but I had assumed he was with The Daily Collegian of UMass Amherst or even the UMass Lowell Connector or UMass Dartmouth Torch.
The Collegian ocassionally sends people down to Boston for stories, like State House rallies or that time last year when Governor Mitt Romney's education "czar" Peter Nessen held a meeting with a good portion of public higher ed's student press.
I wonder if this means the Daily Free Press is extending its beat to the UMass Board of Trustees (they do cover city stuff like Mayor Tom Menino's State of the City)?
Although, it was just me and the Globe at today's committee meeting (where the committee recommended to raise fees again, this time at around 2% for each campus, except for Amherst; check the Globe tomorrow or The Mass Media when it returns January 29th for details).
But anyway, back to work.
