Marquette Faces Pushback on Faculty Cuts

[warriorchick]

How many are there now, Chick?

Off the top of my head I am going to guess about 150-175 per class.

I still have a dream that my high school reached out to MU that I never actually graduated HS and MU and NUIG then void my bachelors and masters and I need to repeat HS, then meet whatever new requirements there are to graduate from MU which I then fail.

It's dreams like this that cause me to drink.

My dream is that at the beginning of the semester I lose my copy of my class schedule and I'm like "that's okay, I have it memorized." Then late in the semester I discover that I have forgotten about one course - and it's always a Math class.

Also, the night before very important tests (including the CPA exam), I would often have a dream in which I overslept and missed it. That one was especially realistic and scary because at the beginning of the dream, I am waking up.

I used to have the one about having a final in a class I never attended.    That one ended when I beat my department's version of the Koboyashi Maru.     When I dream about college now, I find myself, at my current age, getting stuck in a freshman dorm.   Probably a symbol for me getting old.

had a similar one a few months ago - living in McCormick, being put in engineering math classes (my freshman roommate was an Engineer), bombing Dr. Naylor's exams. I'm only 26 years removed from that. Go figure...

I have a version of that. I'm in my second semester senior year and I forgot about a class that was needed for graduation. I get halfway through the semester and suddenly remember -- oops. What an awful dream especially since I had to find a way to pay for another semester.

One of my best friends in law school didn't properly register for a class our last semester, but he went every day and got a B on the exam. The school wouldn't let him get credit and he had to take it over the summer.

So youre saying my worst nightmare could be a reality

I think you're a little more aware than he is!  When our group heard about the situation none of us were really surprised that was something he'd do.

However, I did have a UCG scare. I turned in my term paper along with my roommates to my Euro Politics prof. I get my transcript when I'm back in the US and had a 0 for my grade. I called her and it turned out she thought the papers I turned in were all my roommates so she clipped them together and didn't see mine. Thankfully that got solved!

I can relate. I used to have a dream that the day before a final or maybe the day of a final I realized I had a course that I had forgotten about and never attended. I must've had this dream a dozen times or more. But not the last few decades, which is nice. I guess I'm just getting old :-)

Marquette announced a $750 million fundraising campaign yesterday.  And you don't announce those things unless you are reasonably sure you can reach the goal.

Looks like fundraising is going well.

They actually announced it a number of years ago and are 60% of the way there already. This is just the public phase. Meaning it's the whiny Scoopers time to step up.

That's great. I had heard some critical of Lovell's fund raising, but it seems like things have turned around.

I didn't see the large B&G fund donation highlighted by MU in their post about recent donations.

These are not dreams, dreams are pleasant; these are nightmares.
