Since we spent so much time skewering Emerson for its terrible record of granting tenure to minority faculty, it's only fair that we draw your attention to this recent Globe article that looks at the tenure situation for minority faculty at all of Boston's private colleges. Are you surprised to learn that it's terrible? That must be because you have not spent any time at all in academia. [Globe]
It's almost graduation: you know, that time when the city is flooded with parents, graduates, and moving trucks as everyone prepares to move to their new job and city—or, in this economy, back in with the 'rents. What happened over the past year at the big (and small) schools around town? Bostonist looks back at some news stories, from Harvard's billion-dollar losses to Emerson's Holocaust insensitivity, and provides graduation information as well, including commencement speakers, in which category Berklee blows everybody away. Did we miss an important story? Let us know in the comments!
In a highly scientific study, the often useful BostonTweet named Emerson and BU the most active local schools on Twitter. The study was conducted by asking people who tweets the most. Makes sense, we suppose. Emerson students, grads, and profs pulled out their self-promotion skills to tie for the top spot. Tufts got a fair number of mentions, and a few people pointed out that Suffolk is on Twitter as well. We're a little surprised that high-tech MIT isn't the Massachusetts Institute of Twitter, but maybe the folks over there have some real work to do. Who do you think tweets the most and best in Boston, collegiate or otherwise?
Comedian Mitch Fatel can't wait to come to Boston after receiving a great reception at his first foray into town last year. This time Fatel will be taking over the beautiful Wilbur Theatre for two shows this Saturday night (7:00pm & 9:45pm). You've had a chance to see Fatel on all the late night shows, Conan, Letterman, Leno, and has had a special on Comedy Central, but we particularly have loved his appearances on "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist".
