Dr. John Wilson knocked on the door of the Office of the President. He came prepared to discuss the renewal of his tenure as Dean of the Fine Arts Department.
John let himself in and faced a sight so incongruous that he plopped, more than sat down, on a chair facing the desk. President Charles Holzer sat at his desk with Watson’s Chief of Police standing at his side. John looked at one and the other in turn uncomprehending.
“Have I made a mistake about our appointment?” he asked.
John had known Charles for twenty years and had been on a first-name basis for half of those years. “I thought that we were meeting to discuss my tenure?” he asked, glancing at the chief.
“Yes, we are here to discuss your tenure,” Charles replied, all business and no play. John felt the barometric pressure of the room drop to an

The drop did not pertain to his department but to the business school. John had been one of the first faculty staff to raise the alarm about online university degrees. The business model for higher education was fast changing. Soaring tuition prices and the great recession had brought a dose of reality in academia.
Would Charles finally agree with his argument for an online degree program? John would have felt his stress dissolve if not for the presence of the Chief at the meeting. What was he doing here? John thought of Charles' well known aversion to computers and snickered. Charles brought him back to reality with a stunning remark.
“The Board has decided not to renew your tenure. They will offer you a generous severance package once you submit your resignation. This offer is not negotiable and their decision is final. I am sorry, John, but you must make a decision before you leave this office,” dropped Charles. The words unfolded in the silent, deploying their poison in the air. The Chief stood tall and firm, ready for a desperate response, an aggressive gesture. None

The new president of Weston University, Dr. Diana Ball, took over in late 1995, succeeding Dr. Harold Powers. Dr. Powers led the prestigious private university for fifteen years from a human resource frame to tailor the organization to individuals (Bolman & Deal, 2013, p. 16). Moreover, during Dr. Power's tenure, the reputation of once-leading private university in the Midwest diminished. Dr. Power's reputation as a scholar gained him the presidency; however, his leadership abilities fell short in dealing with the faculty. Weston's board outlined the skills needed, which included both academic standing and business acumen, for their new president to restore Weston University's reputation and lead the

Sauk Valley Community College should have a track and field team for several reasons. SVCC use to have a track and field team. Sadly, they dropped it in the nineteen seventies probably because of the expenses. Track and field is a very popular sport that many students might want to take part in middle and high school, or even at college level. Track isn’t a very expensive sport. It is one of the cheapest sports to participate in. Track and field is also very popular sport in colleges in the two hour radius from Sauk Valley Community College. Bringing track and field to Sauk will bring about 40-50 new students each year. Also, this will make Sauk become a better choice of colleges in the area, because of the distance.
In this eye-witness, journalist and reporter John D. Wells was invited to President McKinley’s reception on September 6th. Wells arrived to the reception early enough to see the final touches and decorations go up in the area.

They exited the vehicles and headed towards the Joint Chief of Staff’s conference room, once here Colonel Clayton began to set up to give his presentation, the same one he had given a dozen times for far. The conference room was standing room only, President Washington had ordered that anyone, within reason, was welcomed at the presentation, but there would only be seating for the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House and Senate, the Joint Chiefs and what cabinet members there were. If there was any seating left after that it was open to first come first serve or you could stand but there was only so much standing room. It took Colonel Clayton ten

In Thomas Friedman’s article, “Come the Revolution,” Friedman is confident that an online-only education program called Coursera is the solution to the problems of rising tuition and the increased importance of education in a knowledge economy. The rhetorical strategies used by Friedman were much more effective in comparison to Snyder’s, especially his use of valid numbers, statistics, and facts to support his claims. One example of this is in the second paragraph of Friedman’s “Come the Revolution.” After introducing Andrew Ng, professor and cofounder of Coursera, and explaining the online platform’s benefits, Friedman quotes Ng to support his argument. He writes, “ “I normally teach 400 students,” Ng explained, but last semester he taught 100,000 in an online course on machine learning. “To reach that many students before,” he said, I would have had to teach my normal Stanford class for 250 years.” ” Friedman uses the valid numbers, statistics, and facts from reliable authorities to support his argument.

The United States Department of Education was established in 1977 after Jimmy Carter decided to split up the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare by signing the Department of Education Organization Act into law in hopes of winning “increased federal funding for schools and teacher training.” The newly cabinet-level department began operation on May 16th, 1980. However, its name has differed over the past 130 years and its basis really began in 1867 by a legislation President Andrew Jackson signed into law. The original purpose was to help create effective schools across the nation by collecting information on teaching tactics and school systems. That purpose still holds true today and has expanded since then through its years.
"You may enter as you will," the sound of the VP called me from the other side. I grabbed the knob and twisted it, I entered the office. It was as dark as the night sky from the inside. A woman with long wavy blue hair and skin was at the filing cabinet with her back facing me.
