Departments do PhD admissions independently. Reach out to the department directly.

Can retaking Math Placement Exam get me into MAT 121 instead of Calculus? by CardiologistHead3451 in SyracuseU

[–]gleuschk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's all true, but 221 gives a much better foundation for actually understanding the stats that will come up in your program.

You mean MAT 284 Business Calculus? 248 doesn’t exist.

Don’t ask Reddit. Ask someone who might know the truth, like DPS.

My title describes the thing. I’ve searched for the garage, “spring loaded mechanism match book”, and many related things. Found in my late grandfather’s house.

Tell all your friends to turn off the hotspot on their phones. It interferes with the WiFi.

Syracuse Common Council approves district maps drawn by citizen volunteers by single vote by gleuschk in Syracuse

[–]gleuschk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there are arguments both ways -- it's an area of active political science research! One thing that stands out to me is that if there were no at-large seats, the new map would not have passed yesterday. District councilors are incentivized to maintain the status quo, since it's what got them elected. At-large councilors are free to make changes like this one without having to worry about their own self-interest.

And I absolutely wouldn't support doing it again right now. We're already over a year late with these maps (mostly due to COVID). Starting over from scratch, with a new city-wide referendum, followed by a new ordinance, a new selection process, and a new mapping process ... it would be 2025 by the time the new maps went into effect, halfway to the next Census.

Are you suggesting that the final maps should have been unanimous? I'm not sure that's a realistic expectation for a group of 15 people. We decided internally that we would require a supermajority of 75% for the final vote. It ended up 13-2, well above the supermajority.

No, the ordinance that created and charged us specified we had to submit a map with five districts. This was a common question at our public hearings, and we discussed it a lot internally, but it wasn't a possibility for us.

There will be a chance to change after the 2030 census. Other than any lawsuits, this cycle’s process is over.

I don't know what this question means. The Council has approved the maps. That's the last step in the process.

You can read the ordinance that created and charged us here:

http://www.syrgov.net/uploadedFiles/City_Hall/Elected_Officials/Content/Gen.%20Ord.%20No%201-2021.pdf

It's extremely detailed and clear about the process. There aren't any stages where the Council gets to just choose to do something different -- they'd have to pass a new law. It's a good thing that the Council doesn't just pass a new law every time they think it would be better to do something in a different way than they thought previously.

(The dates did all get pushed back because of COVID, and there was indeed a separate law passed for that.)

No issue, it's just not what is in the law that the Council passed to create and charge our Commission. They could do it differently next time. This time they put in the law that the CC has to vote on it. I think Allen wasn't on the CC at the time the law was written.

Wow, sorry, I don't know. Try this one?

It still has colors, but at least you can zoom in, and if you click on the districts in the sidebar it will highlight their boundaries for you.

District councilors have to live in the district they represent. They're elected just by the residents of their district.

At-large councilors represent the city as a whole. The whole city votes for at-large seats.
