Used to live right off of Howard and Callan.

Gary Pinkel announced his resignation today. Interesting timing even if it's ostensibly for health reasons.

Im pretty hammered right now.

He probably lied about his cancer.


What exactly are the MIzzou campers still protesting for??? I don''t get it any more. The got what they originally wanted and then some.

Mizzou prof. resigns following outrage over his refusal to cancel exam

Dr. Dale Brigham, considered one of the most beloved professors at the University of Missouri, has resigned after refusing to cancel an exam for students who claimed to feel “unsafe.”

“If you don’t feel safe coming to class, then don’t come to class,” Dr. Brigham told his students. “I will be there, and there will be an exam administered in our class,” he continued, imploring his students to stand up to the bullies on campus. “If you give into bullies, they win. The only way bullies are defeated is by standing up to them.”

Dr. Brigham was sharply criticized in the media for requiring his students to attend class and take their exam. Salon ran a story with the headline “White Missouri professor shames black students for heeding violent threats.”The Washington Post featured similar coverage of “a white professor” who “challenged his students to come to class.”

Those upset with Dr. Brigham’s decision to hold class took to Twitter calling for Brigham to be fired and calling him “a failure as a human being.”

There is more to the article that I apparently can't copy and paste without doing screenshots, so just follow the link for the full story: http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=6971

UPDATE: According to KOMU, a spokesperson for the University of Missouri said the school will not accept Dr. Brigham's resignation.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Good for the school not accepting it.

I sound exactly like my parents when I was a yute, but man fuck this generation of dumb motherfucking kids.

Shut up and get your ass to class. If you don't "feel safe", go somewhere else.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Yes.

This is a fucking mess.

At the heart of it these kids want attention and they are getting it in spades.

Someone may have posted this but a similar turn of phrase started the whole thing at Ithaca College. We report, you decide.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

So, wait now we're talking physical threats? Not just feeling safe to speak your mind?

Well that changes it a little bit, imo


I mean if there are legit threats against minorities I kinda see where they're coming from (but at the end of the day, you cant put your head in the sand)

But the university kept the university open on the day of the scheduled exam.

Brigham was simply acting in accordance with university leadership.

His "challenge" to students seemed odd, though.

I don't see it as a challenge. I hate how the media takes the side of the group I think is wrong.

I'm not sure how one could see it in other terms. He also trivialized threats of violence by characterizing them as "bullying."

Nevertheless, the guy seems to be a good teacher and is extremely popular with his students. I don't think his comments deserve punishment, but I would advise him to be more careful about the way he phrases his emails in the future.

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

It's hard for me to say because I spent so much time there growing up, but I'd say nothing on any part of Howard is too good. Guys get shot near Devon and Western all the time. Morse is a lot better than it once was, but still not the safest spot in the City. That area of Chicago north of Howard, what we used to just call "Juneway" is as bad as ever, I think.

CHICAGO — After a 25-year-old man died after a daytime shooting in Willye B. White Park in Rogers Park on Saturday, one neighbor said that while parts of the area feel safer, gang shootings seem more and more brazen.

Around 12:30 p.m., Eric Jordan, of the 4600 block of North Racine Avenue, was walking in the 1600 block of West Howard Street when someone walked up and shot him in his chest, according to county records and Officer Janel Sedevic, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.

The man was taken to St. Francis Hospital in critical condition, Sedevic said. He was later pronounced dead.

Donna Conroy, a nearby resident known to neighbors as "the cleaning lady," said she was sweeping garbage at the park's playground when she heard "six or seven" loud bangs. She then saw a woman in the park scream at her two young children to get down, huddling themselves from the gunfire.

"It was very frightening," said Conroy, who added that she'd never witnessed a shooting before. "There are kids out here all the time, and if there are shootings going on here, they're vulnerable."

Near Jordan's home Uptown Sunday morning, Patrick, who declined to give his last name, said he and Jordan grew up together near Clarendon Avenue and Sunnyside Avenue, often playing basketball together at Clarendon Park.

"He was always really friendly, never said a bad word to anyone," Patrick said.

Patrick said Jordan, known to friends and neighbors as "E.J.," attended high school in the area before dropping out and falling in with a gang.

White Park, where Jordan was shot, is next to Gale Elementary School. A similar daytime shooting in the same area, which Gale's principal called "traumatizing," caused Gale to cancel recess in June due to fear of safety for students. After an outcry, recess was reinstated and Gale beefed up security.

This time, community leaders called for an escalated effort to prevent further gun violence in the area.

"In addition to renewing our call upon our law enforcement officials to endeavor to reduce the escalating crime rate within our community, we encourage all citizens and businesses to accept the basic responsibility of being watchdogs within Rogers Park," wrote Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce President Bill Morton in a statement. "We are not advocating vigilante-ism, but we do advocate the power of every set of eyes within our community to observe and to report suspicious persons and activities to our police."

At the time of the shooting, a city-sponsored community resource expo was scheduled to be held in Willye B. White Park.

The park's second shooting since June, Conroy said, was evidence that Rogers Park is "going in two directions" as a neighborhood.

"On one hand, most of the neighborhood feels safer ... like there's less tension when you walk around," said Conroy, who's lived in the 7700 block of North Juneway Terrace since 1998. "But in these spots where gangs hang out, it seems like they're more willing to shoot than they used to be."
