Universities should try to transform us (and the world)

Next Tuesday, make sure to participate in the caucuses
Two years ago, hundreds of thousands of Coloradans made history by setting attendance records at caucuses on what was known as “Super Tuesday.” They helped to choose the nominees for the 2008 presidential elections; Barack Obama’s victories in Colorado and elsewhere that day put him on a path for the White House.

A (not-so) radical solution: Privatize or time for CSU to think big
Last week, CSU President Tony Frank asked the question: What’s a public university without public funding? Feb 22, 2010 | 10:13 pm
Fee increases aren't a sustainable path
The CSU administration has lately been looking for “alternative revenue streams” –– ways to bring in more money to compensate for decreasing funding from the state of Colorado. Feb 15, 2010 | 11:30 pm
U.S. shortsighted in neglecting its space program
Last week, the future of the human race took a few interesting and largely unnoticed twists –– not because we developed an artificial intelligence bent on destroying mankind, or made contact with alien life –– but because of much less interesting machinations within the United States’ federal budget process.

President Obama, one year later
As a libertarian, someone who believes in limited government on all fronts –– in economic policy, social policy and foreign policy –– I rarely have good choices when it comes to political candidates. Jan 26, 2010 | 11:47 am
Be grateful for TABOR and coming "cliff"
The current budget crunch that higher education faces in Colorado has been looming for a long time. Between 1982 and 1992, Colorado voters and the state legislature enacted an alphabet soup of rules –– Gallagher, Arveschoug-Bird and most notably TABOR –– restricting the growth of taxes collected and money spent by the state.

The myth behind student credit hours, registering at CSU

Keep concealed carry on campus
Earlier this year, the CSU Faculty Council helped kick off a campus-wide – and, in some respects, state-wide — debate by asking the university administration to re-examine CSU policy regarding concealed carry on the CSU campus. Dec 5, 2009 | 4:24 pm
Student health insurance still is not working for all
When I listen to the national debate about health insurance currently raging in Congress, I’m struck by similarities to events that have happened here at CSU. Dec 4, 2009 | 2:42 pm
It is time to rethink time
This past weekend, some hundreds of millions of Americans shared a common experience. No, not Halloween -- daylight-saving time came to an end, and we all got to sleep for an extra hour. In exchange for that momentary benefit, the sun now sets shortly after lunch. Jan 20, 2010 | 1:23 pm
CSU's speech policies leave too much room for interpretation
Several weeks ago, I described the state of free speech at CSU. This month, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a national non-profit that monitors the state of free speech on college campuses, once again surveyed CSU's policies and gave our university a "yellow light," meaning there's still on the books "at least one ambiguous policy that too easily encourages administrative abuse and arbitrary application.

Grad students: It's time for action
Much of what happens on a university campus is oriented toward the undergraduate population -- understandably so, as undergraduates outnumber every other group. But the more than 3,000 graduate students at CSU play a vital role in the university structure -- we help teach the classes and labs taken by thousands of undergraduates, we grade papers and take care of tedious tasks that free up time for faculty, we're the ones in labs doing much of the pathbreaking research that the university wins accolades for.
