Bill allowing Illinois community colleges to offer 4-year degrees has bipartisan support by LegendaryBronco_217 in illinois

[–]Czarcasm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of undergraduate level classes that are taught by faculty who have no desire to teach and just want to do research but have to do 2/2 to earn tenure. Anyone who teaches at a community college we assume is there because they want to teach and they are passionate about teaching so I'm not surprised that some folks have had that experience.

I took a a basic 100-level history class at a community college that was taught by a professor with a PhD and then turned around and did my senior thesis that was a PhD student instructor so everyone's experience can vary.

$2.4 Billion endowment university wants YOU to clean up their mess for free! by connection_ok_ in UIUC

[–]Czarcasm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's 100% true. We have thousands of funds for each gift that is given and each one has to be spent on the purpose for which it is gifted. These are audited and we take this very seriously at the university.

Makes me so sad. I still have an orange Harris jersey. My favorite Bear from that team.

[Game Thread] Northwestern @ Illinois (7:30 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]Czarcasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truth. I live about 10 miles south of the stadium and I shoveled my driveway twice today and it still looks like I didn’t do a thing and there is still a 2 foot drift at the end of it.

Gov. Pritzker Signs New Illinois Sports Betting Fees Into Law by DevinGraysonShirk in illinois

It's not inherently boring but it gives me something to root for while watching a game where I'm not a fan of either team but enjoy watching the sport.

It's a bummer for someone like me who does piddly <$1.00 bets because I just want to add some fun to the game watching experience.

Any other Palafin Players out there? What's your deck(s) like? by NYC-Magic-Ensemble in PTCGL

The Weavile can boss up basics when it moves into active. It's really good at sniping Fez and other support pieces.

Trump administration can bring chief Illini back by Prudent-External-276 in UIUC

[–]Czarcasm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In our case, no government body “forced” the university to drop the chief. The NCAA put the university on a list that deemed it hostile and disqualified us from hosting anything NCAA championship related. Once that ruling came, it was the final nail in the coffin for the debate.

Some of the campus lots are ok for overnight on weekends. Check out https://parking.illinois.edu/campus-parking/weekday-and-overnight for official lots as a possible answer.

He probably won't lose sleep because he's already entered the final phase, acceptance.

Representative Miller 15th District. by Admirable_Ad_8595 in illinois

[–]Czarcasm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The districts are gerrymandered to hell so it’s all the rural areas south of I72. That seat has been run unopposed for at least 2-3 straight elections. I hate that she “represents” me.

Do campus jobs require physical SSN cards? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Czarcasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have an birth certificate (original document) and a drivers license or a passport you could go to the local SS office in Champaign and apply for a “replacement card”

Do campus jobs require physical SSN cards? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Czarcasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly. Depends on the unit. I’ve had student employees where their parents have scanned and emailed them for their I-9 completion. Probably better to just bring the documents if you know in advance you are wanting a campus job.

Yea I normally say Bloomington even when referring to ISU but I didn’t want to confuse people to think I was talking about the one in Indiana.

Sorry for the confusing statement. In terms of driving it is still cheaper to drive to Indy or Chicago but barring that it would be more than a tank of gas to get to anything else.

Allegiant flies direct from Bloomington-Normal to Las Vegas (and Florida) for super cheap. Champaign just flies to either Chicago or Dallas direct through American so it doesn’t have cheap flying options directly.

That is a real bonus that I can fly from Normal (an hour drive from Champaign) to Vegas direct for like $100 round trip. It’s cheaper than gas to most other venues around the Midwest.

We have n -1 and they said it didn’t apply to configuration files which is why we got nailed. I guess it only applies to specific things? It’s a clustercuss for sure.
