More Info About the Healthy Workplace Bill

Thursday, June 6th, 2013
By Mike Schlicht

The Healthy Workplace Bill was referred to the Senate Finance Committee in the next step of the legislative process. The Chair of the Senate Finance Committee is Senator John DeFranciso and he represents parts of the Syracuse area. NYHWA would like to setup a meeting with him at the District office in the very near future to speak with him about the bill. NYHWA is looking for constituents of his, people who work in his district and those who are from the Greater Syracuse area to speak briefly about their workplace bullying experience as we ask for him to place the bill on the agenda for a vote.

Peter Parisi: Self Anointed Chaperone for the Aronson Awards for Social Justice Journalism

Peter Parisi

It was several years ago that Colleague Peter Parisi, inspired by a muse yet to be understood or identified – but I have suspicions that it is as old as time itself – emailed our D:F/M Colleagues that he had decided that the WORD, a collaborative creation between me and my students, and a primary teaching tool, awarded several grants from the College, the FORD Foundation and others, with a stellar reputation and track record for helping students with career decisions, was passé and that it was time for the department to support the Hunts Point Express which had been started by Colleague Bernard Stein.

I still have my copy of the Parisi email.

The Hunts Point Express on Editorial Alert?

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

An URL of the previous blog below (The Slippery Ethical Slope of the Hunts Point Express) was posted Monday on the The Hunts Point Express facebook page. Lo and behold, it was no longer there yesterday. In fact, the The Hunts Point Express on online is not accepting comments either.

Uh Oh! The plot thickens.

The Slippery Ethical Slope for the Hunts Point Express?

Sunday, May 5th, 2013

D:F/M has been in a state of academic stasis for years and years but in recent years Colleagues have resorted to all manner of fabrications to cover up its failings. What follows reveals a venial sin/omission compared to a mortal sin/omission (catechism from Catholic  schools still resonates slightly). It also could be merely a mistake.
