They're also looking for "Academic strategy and budget" which is different from the existing "finance and operations" and "strategic initiatives" vice provosts as well as the 2 vice provosts in charge of undergrad and grad education

UMN has added two (2) new Vice Provost positions this year, bringing their total up to 10. All this in addition to 10 people with "Vice President" in their title. But hey, what's a 7% tuition hike among friends?

But as I stood side by side with protesters on the streets of Minneapolis and opposite dozens of armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the Whipple Federal Building after Renee Good's killing - and again after the killing of Alex Pretti - I couldn't help but question whether I made the right call last year.

Their new version is somehow worse? They kept the same typo ("stiped") and repeated it 5 times in a 15 page document. This is what UMN is spending thousands of dollars on?

Except if they're saying nice things about you, in which case it's because they pity you too much to tell the truth

Also, if someone is "doing something crazy that's not okay" and you need to be "protected" from them, isn't that what we already pay MPD to do (allegedly)? Whether they hail from the USA or the Odyssey

I just had to "circle back" on some business that was raised on January 8th but got "lost in the shuffle" and by shuffle I mean multiple murders. Life is absurd
