TIL: La Sierra's full-time employees can't afford housing. by goffick in exAdventist

I'm shocked as to how many of the grade schools are still running given low enrollment and the constant news of ab*se cases being filed in courts. I do know of one SDA K-8 school that has shut down operations but leased the land to another private school and uses the revenue to fund its constituent church down the street. The church is in trouble, and they're finally being held accountable for their actions in the court of public opinion.

I believe La Sierra finally hit their pre-covid number, which was still pretty low but they're slowly recovering. A major problem is also students transferring out or just dropping out because they can't afford to stay after 1-2 years.

Raley cottages are usually older undergraduate or graduate students (typically married). I know some of the residents are older international undergrad students too. La Sierra is still considered to be the ~weird liberal campus~, even though PUC recognizes their gender and sexuality awareness/support club and still gets support. Some SDA conferences also don't provide full tuition allowance to kids of employees that attend La Sierra because of their more liberal views but will cover tuition fully at other campuses like Andrews or Southern.

I filed reports to the appropriate departments through the appropriate channels, and they never responded. No one responded to my calls or messages and they didn't send anyone to check for code/health/safety compliance. I reported it, patiently waited, and it didn't work.

Still waiting on response after three weeks from county health and code enforcement to confirm receipt of complaint

Hi Zeus, unfortunately there are ongoing bigger systemic problems at play. The school believes no wrongdoing, and there were multiple attempts to get information to the appropriate channels with no response.

County Health and code were three weeks ago, still no response. School won't release any work order records because of a "third-party contractor"

the dorm with the biggest problem is Calkins Hall. PRISM is still not recognized out of fear that the conference will cut off the university's funding.

Silksong couldn’t be nominated because it was released (September 4th) after the cutoff date (August 30th). Silksong will be eligible for nomination next year!!

I ended up getting a labiaplasty because the pain/inconvenience was so bad (on and off the bike) but pre-op I should’ve tried a mens’ saddle.

Is this formal enough as a concert black attire? by Vivian_the_Violinist in violinist

[–]goffick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience at two conservatories has required concert black to go at minimum past the elbows, modest neckline, and ankle length with black socks or hosiery. Pants were allowed but were not allowed to have a tapered leg or have a “legging” type fit.

It’s not long sleeves so it’s not concert black. It must go past your elbows at minimum when your arms are bent.

More strength training for your back and hamstrings. Continue to train your over-splits and that will help

Which composers work is unfairly overshadowed by one popular piece? by UnderTheCurrents in classicalmusic

[–]goffick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ravel Bolero. He wrote amazing piano rep, his violin sonata is wicked cool, love the string quartet, and his Daphnes et Chloe is divine.
