Coffee and Discussions on Safety, Philosophy, Religion, and Art

What do you want to discuss over a good cup of coffee? Here is where you can do that. But sometimes an old crusty master sergeant and professor wants to have his way.

The challenges of academia

I know I should have posted something by now but back on the 27th I mentioned of a job offer on the east coast. No, I figured I had a good thing going here. Needles to say, the axe is swinging wildly and one is not sure which tree it will strike down next. I had a couple of branches knocked off.
The program @ TSJC has been around for quite a while and from an informal survey TSJC OSH program has the highest enrollments of the other schools combined. But that does not make the program immune from the cuts.
In my research and discussion of on-line course delivery, I find that there are a number in academia that really don't understand distance learning and the impact it has in reaching the non-traditional student base. Uhm, you don't have anyone in a classroom, so therefore there must not be a need for the courses identified.
I need help in promoting the program. The bigger, the better.
