There is something weird about people claiming something will undermine the sanctity of marriage when they themselves are on their third or fourth marriage. Surely anyone can have problems in a marriage, but it’s just that these people are usually the source of all the problems in their marriage.

I like stoner jokes when they’re less about the actual getting stoned part. So there you go with today’s strip.
In reality, it stems from the crazy ways every business I’ve ever worked for suggests to save money. It hasn’t happened yet, but I keep anticipating being asked to take my shoes off so as not to wear on the carpet.

There seems to be a constant push to “fix” libraries. People claim they’re outdated or that books are no longer necessary. I suppose the greatest threat to the traditional library has been e-books, but even still there are so many services the average library offers that I find it difficult to believe they deserve on the endangered species list.

Make no mistake, technology such as iPads and other tablet computers can be of great value in education. The problem, like with most education solutions, is that people tend to try to force their use and end up using them entirely incorrectly.
Or else just frustrating everyone that works with them.

Really, this comic is nothing against the Higher Learning Commission. They’re one of those organizations that strike fear into the hearts of those above my pay grade. No, it’s much more about the incredibly rising prices in higher education. Trust me, it isn’t simply an issue of greed (though greed is always there in some form).
Running a college is super expensive, and what students expect on campus is super expensive. Fancy dorms, fine dining in the dining hall, and state-of-the-art sports facilities all cost money. Is there a breaking point? Sure. I simply have no idea when we’ll hit it. I’d bet on sooner rather than later, however.

Most professors genuinely want to be good teachers. Many, however, have no idea what abstract phrases like “engage the student” mean. This is basically how most of those meetings end up.

Consultants get a lot of work in education, but I’m never quite sure what their qualifications are. Mostly, they seem to be having the title of consultant. This is like bringing in a florist to consult a surgeon before a heart transplant. Somehow, it just doesn’t make sense.

I’ve heard on occasion people push using random technologies more or less in class. Sometimes it’s texting, or PowerPoint, or Internet, or…whatever. Not that there can’t be any use for texting in a class, but it probably shouldn’t be forced.

This amused me that within days two people called press conferences to announce that they wouldn’t be doing something. How bizarre is that? That’s politics, and honestly is probably a bad sign when the populace is begging people to enter the race and they will not.

I ate so much garbage in college. Pixy Stix pizza would have been pretty good for my diet at the time. Thank goodness for high metabolism in college, and I suppose multivitamins. Otherwise I’d be dead.
