Update Status
We continue sorting through anomalies with Godaddy Tech Support to resolve Standards Michigan requirement for frequent and timely updates across all of our platforms. We got half the problem solved last month when we upgraded to WordPress 6.8.1 but updating was slow on mobile devices. Our normal course of business will not be interrupted as far as our daily colloquia is concerned but we cannot predict the outcome on the images which are an essential part of our work.
- Posts are not updating across all platforms — particularly on X on iPhones. Usually a caching problem and not one we haven’t seen before.
- Some images will not center.
- Footer and right-side widgets not loading properly.
The good news is that all our content, including media, survived the WordPress upgrade. The next step in our “GoDaddy Journey” will be to edit our widgets to reflect our new business address; still proximate to the University of Michigan South Athletic Campus — across the street from our former office with an Olive Garden very nearby.
Always surprises but none that we cannot handle. Much like hardware in ICT, software must also be maintained.
This page will be posted to our X-feed: @StandardsMich to remind our colleagues and followers that software needs to be “maintained”

Latte Art University
There is no formal legal, academic, or regulatory criteria that permits an entity to officially call itself a “Latte University.”
The term is not a protected designation like “university” in many jurisdictions (where using “university” in a name often requires government accreditation, charter, or licensing to offer degrees and avoid misleading the public).
In practice, anyone can self-apply the ironic or humorous label “Latte University” because:
- It is obviously not a genuine accredited higher-education institution with all the bells and whistles we cover at @StandardsMich.
- It parodies elite or pretentious colleges by associating them with upscale coffee culture (e.g., pumpkin spice lattes, study-in-Starbucks vibes, or “basic” collegiate aesthetics).
- The name appears jokingly in merchandise (e.g., “Pumpkin Spice Latte University” hoodies), social media bios, memes, or casual self-descriptions for coffee enthusiasts, remote workers, or satire.
No trademark, law, or accrediting body enforces restrictions on such whimsical usage, as long as it doesn’t falsely claim official degree-granting status or confuse consumers in commerce. It’s free speech + branding playfulness.

The College of William & Mary, the second-oldest institution of higher education in the United States, was founded on February 8, 1693, through a royal charter granted by King William III and Queen Mary II of England. Named in their honor, the college aimed to establish a “perpetual College of Divinity, Philosophy, Languages, and the good arts and sciences” in the Virginia colony.
Efforts to create a college in Virginia dated back to 1618, but earlier plans failed due to events like the 1622 Powhatan uprising and political upheavals. In 1691, the Virginia General Assembly sent Reverend James Blair, a Scottish clergyman and representative of the Bishop of London, to England to secure approval. Blair successfully petitioned the monarchs, who issued the charter and appointed him as the college’s first president—a position he held until 1743.
The institution, initially Anglican-focused with schools for grammar, philosophy, and divinity, received funding from tobacco taxes, land grants, and even pirate forfeitures. Construction of its main building (now the Wren Building) began in 1695 at Middle Plantation, before Williamsburg existed.

* According to a 2013 report from the Aspen Institute and Washington Monthly based on LinkedIn data for graduates from 2000 to 2010, 32.1% of William & Mary graduates reported positions in government and non-profit sectors as their first and second jobs after graduation.
This includes government roles but is not limited to them.More recent first-destination surveys from William & Mary’s Office of Career Development & Professional Engagement (e.g., for the Class of 2024) do not break down employment percentages by specific sectors like government. However, they categorize mean salaries for “public service careers” at $53,529, indicating some graduates pursue roles in that area (which often overlaps with government).
The university is consistently ranked highly for fostering service-oriented careers, such as #12 for “Best Colleges for Service” by Washington Monthly in 2022

‘CPanel’ Update Status
After close of business on Tuesday (February 16) our content management theme — after having provided fairly reliable service for 15 years — will undergo a major upgrade. This upgrade will enable instant updates across all time zones and across all our social media platforms. We will still be on the job, hosting our Daily Colloquia at the usual hour, our topics will remain as posted on our CALENDAR, but content presentation may look a little janky until the transition stabilizes. We expect INSTANT updates.
Much like hardware in ICT, software must also be maintained.
