August 2025 Update on Extension Budget Reduction
University food service increasingly treats international variety as both an educational and marketing virtue. There is nothing inherently wrong with variety in fair measure. Yet an outsized emphasis on cuisines outside American and Anglosphere traditions can cause universities to neglect the foodways of the very nation and institutions that have attracted generations of international students.
Food is part of the inheritance of an educational settlement. Regional American cooking, the English ploughman’s lunch, Canadian breads and preserves, Australian meat pies and the ordinary dishes of Scotland, Wales and Ireland carry histories of agriculture, climate, season and family life. They deserve a place beside newer arrivals.
Universities need not choose between hospitality and inheritance. A generous table can accommodate both. Indeed, international students may reasonably expect to encounter the distinctive food traditions of their host country. Cosmopolitanism is most interesting when cultures remain recognizable. University kitchens can welcome the world without forgetting the food already at home.

The Great Lakes contain enough fresh water to cover the land area of the entire United States under 3 meters of water.
We collect 15 video presentations about Great Lake water safety and sustainability prepared by the 8 Great Lake border state colleges and universities and their national and international partners in Canada.
In a state whose land mass was formed by glaciers, has there been climate change in its 10,000 – 15,000 year past? Did the glaciers melt because of sport utility vehicles made in Detroit? We refer you to the Academy of Projectors described in Book Three of Jonathan Swift’s 1726 satire on academia in “Gulliver’s Travels”

When the wicked problems of peace and economic inequality cannot be solved, political leaders, and the battalions of servile administrative muckety-mucks who report to them, resort to fear-mongering about an imagined problem to be solved centuries hence assuming every other nation agrees on remedies of its anthropogenic origin. We would not draw attention to it were it not that large tranches of the global academic community are in on the grift costing hundreds of billions in square-footage for research and teaching hopelessness to our children and hatred of climate change deniers.
Before the internet is scrubbed of information contrary to climate change mania, we recommend a few titles:
“Gulliver’s Travels” Jonathan Swift | Start at Chapter 5, PDF page 235
The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism: Mankind and Climate Change Mania
Climate Change Craziness Exposed: Twenty-One Climate Change Denials of Environmentalists
CAMPUS PLANNING & LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE | December 2024 Revision
American universities are plagued by excessive, cluttered signage — “oversigning” — that creates visual chaos and an unwelcoming aesthetic. This is a direct result of strong social control tendencies in modern campus culture and bureaucracy.
Key causes:
The outcome is visual overload: too many fonts, colors, rules, and directives. While signage standards try to impose order, the underlying incentives of safetyism, compliance, and norm enforcement continually push toward more signs, not fewer.
