Top Ten | Indians

November 14

Thanksgiving inspires many to contemplate things in life that are worth giving thanks. For Native Americans - or if you're politically incorrect, Indians - it recalls a monumental occasion: when their ancestors extended a helping hand to colonists who shortly thereafter tried to exterminate their way of life. Not only did the "white man" take their land and kill countless numbers of men, women and children, but they shipped the ones who survived off to the hottest, ugliest, driest plots of land in the country - and built casinos. Wonder why the Native American rate of alcoholism is so high?

Will Herberich | Big Hitter, The Llama

November 14

This past weekend I was in California for my cousin's wedding. The rehearsal dinner was held at a local hangout with pizza, laser-tag, go-karts and batting cages. My family and I had a nice dinner, watched a little of the Lakers game and had a chance to meet the groom's family.

The future of 'active citizenship'

November 14

After seeing them resoundingly thrash Director of the Institute for Global Leadership (IGL) Sherman Teichman in the debate on Tuesday, I applaud Robert Devigne, chair of the political science department, and English Professor Jonathan Wilson for standing up for a good old fashioned liberal arts education.

November 14

This is a picture I took of the President's Lawn while facing in the direction of Barnum. What's interesting here is that no buildings are easily discernible, giving the picture a more natural look. It was taken on Oct. 23, 2006.

Dean Reitman issues statement about Nealley

November 14

Issued Nov. 14, 2007 Last Friday, Tufts University terminated the employment of Ms. Jodie Nealley, who served as Director of Student Activities. A preliminary audit conducted by the university's Audit & Management Advisory Services Office found that Ms. Nealley had misappropriated, over a period of time, a large sum of money from revenue-generating activities and accounts under her control. Ms. Nealley admitted her responsibility to me and other senior administrators. The Audit & Management Advisory Services Office now estimates the amount taken to be approximately $300,000. We are shocked, disappointed and angered by Ms. Nealley's actions. She breached the trust that all of us at Tufts had placed in her. The university has referred the matter to the office of the Middlesex County District Attorney, which has opened an investigation. Tufts will cooperate fully with that investigation.
