Is it true that children tend to resemble their dads more than their moms as a guarantee that dads will be assured that the kids are his?

The course was titled. Blacks in North Carolina, without instruction, but with a 10-15 page paper required. According to the Census Bureau there are 2,076,126 blacks in NC. It would take more than 15 typed pages just to list their names.

Re: [tips] USA TODAY: Report: UNC athletes took suspect classes
When I was a TA/part-time instructor at UNC-CH in the mid-60's, three freshman basketballers came into class and asked me if they had to attend class to get their passing grade. I immediately called Dean Smith. The next day those three came into class virtually on hands-and-knees in supplication, begging to be forgiven. Dean Smith didn't take any crap like that. I know. I later tutored the basketball team for a year and a half.

[tips] Fw: THE POLITICAL THEOLOGY OF LIBERALISM: POWER, RESISTANCE, ESCHATOLOGY
- Original Message - From: Costica Bradatan brada...@mail.h-net.msu.edu To: h-id...@h-net.msu.edu Sent: Monday, June 11, 2012 11:24 AM Subject: CFP: THE POLITICAL THEOLOGY OF LIBERALISM: POWER, RESISTANCE, ESCHATOLOGY THE POLITICAL THEOLOGY OF LIBERALISM: POWER, RESISTANCE, ESCHATOLOGY A Workshop: University of Lapland, Finland, October 12, 2012 Keynote Speaker: Professor Friedrich Kratochwil Call for Papers It is a truism, after Schmitt, to say that all modern political concepts are secularized theological ones. Politically speaking we have yet to emancipate ourselves from the tyranny of theological reason. Never less so than in an era of neoliberalism in which we remain subjected to what Schmitt called ‘liberal metaphysics’. How does this affect the ways in which wetheorizethe nature of neoliberal regimes of power and political resistance to them? This workshop responds to this question. Our gambit is, however, that securing the human from its ongoing subjection to liberal reason and from the eschatological traditions of thinking bequeathed us by religions of various forms and natures can be achieved only by utilizing religion.Thus the struggle requires us to free ourselves from the simplistically anti-religious reflexes that have often informed discourses of critique and resistance. An important starting point in the process of losing such reflexes is the recognition that there is no such thing as religion in the singular. Just as there is no such thing as Christianity, Islam or Judaism in the singular. The problem today is not simply one of continued shaping of political ideas and practices by religion, but the specificity of the particular forms of religiosity that continue to provide liberalism with its legitimacy. Precisely for this reason, when we examine the works of the most acute critics of liberal modernity,we find that their own thinking concerning how to combat it is shaped by a refusal of any simplistically anti-religious reflex. At the beginning of his essay, “Faith and Knowledge”, Jacques Derrida asked whether “a discourse on religion can be dissociated from a discourse on salvation?” Likewise we might ask what would a politics of resistance to liberalism be todaywithout a discourse on security? Securing the human from its modern subjection to liberalism’s eschatology is a task that may only be achieved by a wielding of tools lentus by various religious traditions. This is, at least, the starting point of this workshop. Resistance to eschatology may require a counter-eschatology. And thus the struggle for all that is worth saving requires a subject not only able to free itself from simplistically anti-religious reflexes but which learns how to differentiate between the form of religiosity it chooses to struggle against and those which it requires in order to do so. We invite papers that respond to this problematique and related themes. Please send your abstract of 200-300 words to the workshop organizers. Deadline for proposals: 31 July 2012.

[tips] faculty sharing offices
Hi, everyone. Faced with both a space crunch and a budget crunch, my university's administration is planning to have faculty begin doubling up and sharing offices. I have never heard of regular faculty being asked to share offices. I'm curious as to how common such a policy might be. Please let me know whether your institution has any faculty sharing offices, and, if so, how decisions get made as to who shares offices and who doesn't. Thanks!

Re: [tips] faculty sharing offices
Hi Marty: I have dealt with space crunches on several occasions and have not heard of regular faculty sharing offices as a common solution. In my experience, the typical solution is to find a vacant office -- somewhere, anywhere -- for the required time period. In the past, the ASU psych department has housed faculty from several departments when we had vacant offices. When our building was renovated a few years ago, the faculty was scattered across the entire campus. (That year+ period is called 'The Diaspora' of course.) My concerns would be the impact on productivity and confidentiality issues. Regular faculty have similar hours of work. When I am working on some task (academic, administrative, or educational) then I don't want to be interrupted by someone in the room talking to a student, colleague, or fishing buddy. But I can't ask my roomie to leave or be quiet. I have materials that I can't just gather up and go to the library. Some of these materials are very sensitive, like budget or research data, and I have promised the relevant body (Administration, IRB) that I will keep them confidential. Students come by to ask for help or to discuss personal circumstances. You can have official office hours but those darn students often won't/can't follow the official schedule and just show up in your office. I don't want to hear my colleague's discussions with students and I don't want him/her to hear my discussions. Many of these discussions can take a quick turn from a bad grade to very personal issues like pregnancy, brain tumor, return of cancer in parent (all of which I have encountered last semester). These students will be inhibited by the presence of another faculty member. On the other hand, sharing an office has often worked well with some adjunct arrangements. A faculty member who teaches only on Tuesday and is never in the building otherwise will not have much conflict with a faculty member who teaches only on Thursday and is otherwise never on campus. In these cases, we make sure that the faculty members have clearly-defined personal spaces that are never to be used by their roomie. Ken --- Kenneth M.

Re: [tips] faculty sharing offices
I've been in a shared office situation as an adjunct and as a one year temporary faculty. It is awkward when you have student consultations and I feel that the modern climate and laws on confidentiality pretty much rules out this kind of arrangement. The school had two 'adjunct' pools, by the way. One was just a shared space, a converted conference room. The other in a different building was specifically designed for adjuncts with one large room with continual desk running along two walls, shared computers and a central printer, lockable cabinets overhead for the adjunct's materials. The space had several small 'consultation rooms' connected to the main room for use with students to maintain confidentiality of discussions.
