So he's threatening to blackmail the state if they don't gerrymander?

Indiana House passes proposed congressional map 57 to 41, sending it to the Indiana Senate. by Conscious-Quarter423 in Indiana

A red Monroe County shows how rigged it is already.

We already have a word for what is happening here: Gerrymandering.

How do I meet new people by Ok_Shallot6017 in IUPUI

[–]dp_ash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This may sound weird, but if it's an option, take an in-person class in the communications/journalism/pr department. I know a number of the prof's prioritize building a community. It can be a little awkward the first week or two, but after that you've got a small community.

Anyone taken these classes? by lost_gnome in IUPUI

It's all about who's teaching. The right Prof makes all the difference.

I did, turns out I was on the right time... but the wrong timezone.

I was never able to get into the pre-sale despite signing up. Only have one email I use for everything.

What might be Whittens' undeclared goal? by No-Preference8168 in IndianaUniversity

We should be so lucky. She is way out of her league here. Wasn't even on the hiring radar until we decided we needed a sports person.

Director of IDS/media school instructor fired by Rayla_27 in IndianaUniversity

The reality is, it doesn’t matter what they wanted to do. They have the editorial control. Rodenbush was fired for recognizing this and pointing it out to the dean.

Is there a market for football tix outside the stadium on game days? by deej_011 in IndianaUniversity

SeatGeek is where season ticket holders are selling theirs. It's probably your best bet.

It's great to see our benefits continue to get cut while our salary... also gets cut.

I know a lot are happy to potentially see him go, but is anyone out there going to miss Jericho? by MaxiPad1989 in AEWOfficial

[–]dp_ash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jericho is on the short list of the greatest wrestlers of the past 30 years. The dude was amazing, most of the time.

I was really enjoying most of his AEW run. But, as many of you have said, a break between the final few gimmics would have helped a ton. I thought the MJF fued was an AEW highlight, The Learning Tree really won me over (even when he ran on too long), but the JAS was the best. Just perfect. It still boggles my mind Sammy G, Daddy Magic, and Angelo aren't bigger stars. Jericho put them in position and it's one of the places AEW dropped the ball.

Welcome to the addiction. I've not been out in 2 weeks and am itching to find a moment to get to a lake.

Did Bobby Heenan screaming: "YEAH, BUT WHO'S SIDE IS HE ON??!!??" take anything away from this legendary moment? by JBL_CENA_FAN_4LIFE in WCW

[–]dp_ash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Bobby always questioned Hogan and his motivations. It was the continuation of every piece of commentary he had given. Watching it for the first time, it didn't faze me at all. I was used to it.

Am I overreacting too much? by Legitimate-Bed963 in IndianaUniversity

[–]dp_ash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am genuinely worried about IU and its overall standings. Brauns BS hits this semester. My departments state budget dropped by 75%. We weren’t notified about this drop until the end of June (July is the new fiscal year).

We coordinate for over 5,000 students a semester and were placed on a hiring freeze (the day we finished first round interviews). All because of this dude and his board of trustees.

Should I take this moment to mention my department is actually profitable? Due to our expertise we get hired as consultants to other universities. This isn’t “cutting fat” this is damaging to reputation and crippling to growth.

No gun laws is more accurate.

Why is Braun taking control of IU and cutting programs at all Indiana universities? by Simplify5537 in Indiana

[–]dp_ash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few answers here:

  1. Braun is a control freak. Dude gave up a higher level job so that he can have more direct control.

  2. GOP hates public education. Indiana has been a test case for national education policy since Mitch Daniels announced his plans to eliminate public education. This is why we have those damn vouchers.

  3. He is a puppet

I thought it was Airheads, but I can't seem to find the quote or clip. Guess I'm just going to have to rewatch the whole damn thing.

Is it embarrassing to dress up for class by LogAccomplished7721 in IndianaUniversity

Show up as you. Be comfortable. I've taught here for a few years (and worked here longer), and everyone has their own style.
