I’ve been sadden by the horrific pictures coming out of Houston. Instead of a post this week, I want to share how you can help those in need.
I hope you will consider donating to these causes to support those in need.

Higher education can play a vital role in supporting the social and economic development of cities. As part of an ongoing research project, I have been considering the unique role of higher education serving as an anchor institution in urban development. Along with my co-author Karri Holley, we recently published a case study exploring these dynamics in more detail. The article, “The 400-Pound Gorilla”: The Role of the Research University in City Development, was recently published in Innovative Higher Education. In today’s post, I share the implications and conclusions of our case study on cities and higher education.

One of the most commons misconceptions about tenure is that you can’t fire a tenured faculty member. The reality is that tenured faculty can and do get fired with some regularity. The difference is that tenure provides for detailed and often complicated due process procedures to protect tenured faculty from dismissal without appropriate cause. In today’s post, I want to answer the question of why can a tenured faculty member be fired by describing the four specific reasons that a tenured faculty member can be removed from an institution.
When it comes to backing up our computer files, we all know we should be doing it. But let’s be honest, many of us don’t. For several years now, I have been using Dropbox and it is the most important tool on my computer. I use it for saving all my documents and files. There are many reasons why you should too.
If you aren’t familiar with Dropbox, it is an online (in the cloud) file storage system. You can save documents, photos, videos, or any file to your account. You can access the files on a Mac, PC, or through their online portal. Of all of the features that Dropbox offers, there are at least four that I believe you will find most useful.
