Blogger shut down for a few days to update software, so no posts for the past week. Meanwhile, SIUC is moving towards a much more civil campus. At least, that is how the directors of the Saluki First Year and University Core Curriculum see things. "Choosing Civility: Individual Rights and Communal Responsibility" is the SIUC common theme for 2011 (Barton Lorimor has kindly posted the PDF here.) Some of the topics include: Civility and Sportsmanship, Civility and Political Discourse, Expressing Intense Emotions with Civility and my favorite, Civility vs. Satire.
I'm not sure I like it much, but it's better than speech codes.
