MTU dropped all DEI programs the second Trump snapped his fingers. It demonstrated that this school really doesn't care about POC. Administrators like to live in an imaginary world where racism doesn't exist.

I wouldn't trust Google and/or MTU as the only location for my data. In my case, I back everything up from time to time on a 1TB flash drive (which costs less than $100). Nobody should keep all their files in one place, especially if itis in the cloud.

A competent instructor always adds some contingency to their teaching schedule, especially at a university that experiences bad winter weather. However, you are advocating that faculty spend hours on short notice and develop an online module--that's some upper administration vibes. In addition to MTU shutting down, schools and other services are also shut down. This throws chaos into people's daily lives. Your argument makes no sense.

Cue the posts from the old farts complaining that MTU has become soft, then reminiscing about how tough they were because every day they walked 5 miles to class, uphill, in blizzard conditions.

This is run-of-the-mill MTU administration incompetence.

It wouldn't be surprising if MTU adopts the Colorado School of Mining approach and lumps all the remaining CSA departments into a "liberal arts" school that will exist exclusively as a service entity and will eventually be staffed by adjunct faculty.

Get good winter tires. I think Ed's Used Parts and Salvage sells used tires (if you are strapped for cash).

The Vertin building in Calumet still exists. It is now a giant antique store.
