“A Race Meeting at Jacksonville, Alabama” 1841 W.S. Hedges

As we explain in our ABOUT, we are continuing the development of the cadre of “code writers and vote-getters” begun at the University of Michigan in 1993.  We are now drilling down into state and local adaptations of nationally developed codes and standards that are incorporated by reference into public safety and sustainability legislation.   Every state is approached with sensitivity to its history, culture, governance regime, asset-base and network of expertise.

Standards Michigan will remain the “free” home site but state-specific sites such as Standards Alabama will be accessible to user-interest code-writers and vote-getters.   Please send [email protected] a request to join one of our mailing lists appropriate to your interest for #SmartCampus standards action in the State of Alabama.

Evaluation of the State Authorization Processes for Distance Education

Devrim Ozdemir, Ph.D. –  James Goodlett McDaniel

George Mason University

Abstract.  In this article, the process of obtaining state authorizations for distance education at George Mason University is presented.  The purpose of the paper is to provide guidance to those four-year public universities that deliver distance education programs.  In order to attract students from multiple states, the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE)’s “program integrity issues” announced in Fall 2010 has created some confusion as to how best to maintain compliance. Although changes in the program integrity processes that were required by the USDOE have been placed on hold, state regulations regarding the operation of higher education institutions are still in place. Therefore, George Mason University continues to seek approval from all states in which we have noted online student enrollment. In this study, we present the process of obtaining state authorizations over the last year, including challenges, variability of state authorizations, a status report on Mason compliance processes, and, future plans regarding the state authorization processes. The article is meant to help guide university leaders who must allocate resources wisely in an arena with multiple fixed constraints.

“The Ohio River near Wheeling, West Virginia” 1859 Lefevre James Cranstone

As we explain in our ABOUT, we continue grooming a cadre of “code writers and vote-getters” begun at the University of Michigan in 1993.  Code-writers and vote-getters for the user-interest in the American standards system are far and few between because technical expertise is expensive.   The cost of an informed and effective voice can only be met by the technical oligarchies we also identify in our ABOUT  — i.e. conformance, manufacturers, insurance interests, trade associations — but those voices are out there.  Many front-line experts are also enraged by the waste, duplication and non-sense that has characterized the US public education system since 1965.

We are now drilling down into state and local adaptations of nationally developed codes and standards that are incorporated by reference into public safety and sustainability legislation.

Standards Michigan remains the “free” home site but state-specific sites such as Standards West Virginia will be accessible to user-interest code-writers and vote-getters.   Please send [email protected] a request to join one of our mailing lists appropriate to your interest. #StandardsWestVirginia

Dionysium Summer: The Birth of Tragedy

The Birth of Tragedy 1910 | Friedrich Nietzsche

…“Without myth, however, every culture loses its healthy creative natural power: it is only a horizon encompassed with myth that rounds off to unity a social movement.”

…“What does our great historical hunger signify, our clutching about us of countless cultures, our consuming desire for knowledge, if not the loss of myth, of a mythic home, the mythic womb?”

…“… all life rests on appearance, art, illusion, optics, the need for perspective and for error…”

…“Knowledge kills action, for action requires a state of being in which we are covered with the veil of illusion.”

…“Around the hero everything becomes a tragedy; around the demigod everything becomes a satyr-play; and around God everything becomes — what? perhaps a ‘world’?”

…“There is nothing more terrible than a class of barbaric slaves who have learned to regarded their existence as an injustice, and now prepare to avenge, not only themselves, but all generations.”
