Brett A. Scudder is so good and savvy and has helped so many people … that I sometimes like to imagine that he could walk on water if he wasn’t so busy helping others.

I am sending this logo/icon out everywhere, especially using social media for the press release by the New York State Healthy Workplace Advocates. The press release got a nice ride in a journalism/media column written by Richard Prince of the Maynard Institute. Click here for Prince’s Short Takes where he mentions the WORD.

D:F/M Colleague Larry Shore: The Plot Thickens – Part 2

Wednesday, February 26th, 2014

Colleague Shore’s full response is in the earlier blog post here. This writer’s response is below. A version is being readied for the College’s Hunter-L Listserv. A shorten version of Colleague Shore’s comments is at the end of this blog.


Topics of interest to the Hunter College community [HUNTER-L@HUNTER.LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU] …

To the List:

No Hunter-L habitué appreciates the comments of Colleague Larry Shore as I do. Absolutely no one. I’ve told him that many times (okay, more like conveyed to him in emails since we stopped talking collegially several years ago when he was Chair of the D:F/M Grade Appeals Committee).

Clarification: I don’t create the scandals. I write ONLY about the ones that interfere with my teaching, classroom responsibilities and my personal and professional interests, such as bogus Violence in the Workplace complaints. That statement might sound litigiously ominous but it is what it is.

Nevertheless, thanks to the List for its patience during these daunting, troubling, challenging and irascible times regarding the scope and direction of undergraduate media, media studies and journalism at Hunter which, in my opinion, extend beyond the proprietary boundaries of one department.

Best,
Gregg Morris
D:F/M

Vetted for Hunter-L. No sarcasm intended.

Open Letter to Hunter’s ICIT

Monday, January 27th, 2014

Dear Instructional Computing and Information Technology Department (AKA ICIT),

Thanks for the years of supporting my efforts to publish the WORD  (despite considerable obstacles). That invaluable service, of course, includes support for my classroom instruction where much of the WORD content is developed, essentially the heart and soul of the project. You may be gone (from D:F/M, that is) but you are not forgotten by this instructor as this spring semester begins.
