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.

Look to Your Left; Now Look to Your Right

There's a famous urban legend about Harvard Law School that the 1-L's were told on the first day to look to their left and right, because one of them would not be there by the end of the year.  The tweet below from Andy Holt suggests a new variation on this for our faculty:  "Look to your left; now look to your right.  At least one of you will be at another institution next year, thanks to the government of Alberta."


But that's OK, it's only the best people who will be leaving.  Everyone else will still be here to help achieve the "Top 20 by 2020" goal.
