Cyber Monday: One-Click Download from The Digital Press at the University of North Dakota
People say to me all the time: Bill, I just can’t be bothered to click download every time a new free book comes out from your press. This is an understandable concern. After all, clicking download…

It’s finished.
It’s also not finished because, in the words of Paul Valéry, a piece of writing is never finished. Ultimately it is abandoned. That’s because writing is thinking, and we’re never finished with that.
Anyway, I figured out what to do with that long blog post . . .

Interesting take on the changing character of student resistance. What makes this challenging for faculty is that we have traditionally seen ourselves on the side of students rather than “the man.”
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

I'm not taking many color photos these days, but occasionally they are satisfying. These are of the first real snow of the season.

The Eagles are going to lose this.
And if the Cowboys don’t score they need to call this a tie so no one has to see any more of this crap.

There could be an interesting debate here (we are both participants in the same @chronicle.com forum). We agree I think on the severity of the threat to education. We disagree perhaps on how materially manifest that threat already is and its ultimate socio-political framing (and consequent remedy).
