About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

Time to Declare Colloquy a Failed Experiment

It's been a while since I looked in on the U of A's Colloquy blog.  As predicted, it has degenerated into a stale, Pravda-like news feed for the University's current propaganda.  For each of the four December entries, there are zero comments.  I see this as a reflection of both the lack of true engagement in the happy-talk posts, and would-be commenters' prior experience with the ridiculous moderation practices of the people who run it.  It's probably time to retire this largely pointless activity, and focus the resources on something more productive.
