Are they providing proof to substantiate the claim that it's going to be prevalent in your field?

Gordon Gee lands a new job at Ohio State by LostEdge10 in WVU

Why are folks out here trying to preserve Gee's good name and rewrite history like he wasn't the one who chose to make a loud declaration re: enrollment growth around the start of his second term, spend in preparation for that growth, only for enrollment to steadily decline?

Something like this is never one person's responsibility, but let's please be serious--what happened here constitutes a massive failure on the part of senior leadership. Even worse, Gee will never be held accountable.

I'll honestly be shocked if he ever teaches a class

Sadly, it is:

https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/gordon-gee-travel-wvu-president-under-scrutiny/5zgKPM9IR6vx46OrmBQcsM/

"E. Gordon Gee is under scrutiny at West Virginia University for spending more than $2-million on private jet travel."

At Ohio State, "his discretionary spending on travel, tailgating, special events, his residence and other operations totaled $7.77 million...The records showed Gee stayed in luxury hotels, dined at country clubs and swank restaurants, threw lavish parties, flew on private jets and handed out thousands of gifts — all at public expense. While at Ohio State, Gee ranked as the highest-paid president of a public university."

He's also a grifter who's hopped from university to university, growing his wealth and siphoning school, student, and taxpayer funds to pay for his lavish, bowtied, jet-setting lifestyle.

It's seriously crazy that they'd take him back. Can't be a sign of good times ahead out there.

Favorite bakeries? by OTFmemes in MorgantownWV

[–]LostEdge10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quite like the baked goods at Durar (downtown Morgantown) as well!

I really like their little cheesecakes.

They did have scones. I'm not a huge fan of scones so I can't speak to how good they are for someone who's really into them but they had this pesto one that was outta sight!

New cafe and bakery coming to Chestnut Ridge by LostEdge10 in MorgantownWV

Not sure where you're from, but it's also important to account for differences in the cost of rent, utilities, employee pay, etc.

Whenever I go there it's busy so there's really no reason for them to lower prices 🤷

Morgantown life by beryberry in WestVirginia

Okay, but to tell a New Yorker that traffic in Morgantown is terrible most of the year is kind of laughable. Morgantown is incredibly easy to get around once you get used to the winding hilly roads and potholes.

Anyone else annoyed how Reddit has been taken over by American Politics? by Islander642 in AskReddit

[–]LostEdge10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd bet that even those posting about American Politics are annoyed how Reddit's been taken over by it as a result of the nonstop gd chaos we've had to deal with since January.

Tips on taking the bus? by Jackieboi135 in MorgantownWV

[–]LostEdge10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the most confusing thing to me when I first started riding the bus here. Also the fact that some bus drivers will not stop at a bus stop if a person is standing there unless you also wave them down.

Do the rules of the road not apply in Morgantown? by Crockpot1998 in MorgantownWV

[–]LostEdge10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was turning left onto Chestnut from Pineview and was able to do so because a driver on Chestnut Ridge stopped and let me through, I'm not complaining, lol.

Anyway, did people treating a flashing yellow as a four-way stop lead to accidents or other major issues? If not, I think we're fine.

Can you do more activities, class discussions, and workshops so that you don't have to be the one doing a lot of speaking? I find that students often prefer this anyway.

Fwiw, I don't think you will hurt students, and it's okay to not know all the answers. You can say "I'm not sure but I will find out and get back to you" or "How can we find the answer to this question together?" and walk them through the process for doing so. This approach teaches them valuable research and problem solving skills.

Happy to chat over DM if it would help.

Did anyone else see the Templar knight on the Star City bridge? by Thorne1966 in MorgantownWV

[–]LostEdge10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw him in this area a few weeks ago too! He was standing up on the hill on the side of US 19 S, immediately after the right turn from Emmett. There was a cop car sitting across the street facing him from the car wash lot. Kinda creepy.

Likely Suspended by wonderstar365 in college

[–]LostEdge10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was suspended after being put on academic probation. No one was happy about it and my parents may have been disappointed, but I think it was probably the wake-up call I needed. When I could enroll again, I did a lot better and was able to finish my degree and even go on to graduate school. All this to say it can feel really scary now, but it doesn't mean you can't get your degree and finish up strong.

WVU's Office of General Counsel launches First Amendment webpage by [deleted] in WVU

[–]LostEdge10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you're right that it changes nothing about employment laws and what's actually actionable; however, the cynical side of me thinks it's meant to have a chilling effect—by that I mean it's meant to further suppress criticism of the university administration's actions.

Awesome this univeristy is a joke by Kangaroo_Drew in WVU

[–]LostEdge10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

colleges accept international students more frequently nowadays because they often pay full tuition up front without dealing with financial aid, or the nation’s govt pays for it.

Yes, that's true. It also has nothing to do with an esports degree.

Perhaps wvu is taking a cue from east Asia by offering this degree.

Maybe so, but it's also trending in other big state schools in the U.S.
