The bookstores at the universities that I attended were open for browsing at other times. I was turned away at UNC-Asheville while on a job interview, but was invited back the next day when the madness had ended.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002307775727577446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187403837913738089.post-76173902488857516402014-01-16T10:38:53.557-06:002014-01-16T10:38:53.557-06:00Thanks, Eric, for sharing your experience.

I must confess that I was comparing CSU with other four-year comprehensive universities and was unaware of what the norms would be at community colleges. Issues of race and class are deeply intertwined here. Is there a four-year doctoral granting university where they do the same?Paul Gomberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532991282987477464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187403837913738089.post-50062985746322884142014-01-15T19:21:40.987-06:002014-01-15T19:21:40.987-06:00Paul, that was exactly my experience while waiting...Paul, that was exactly my experience while waiting in line for textbooks at Community College of Allegheny County in Pittsburgh from 1977-1979. One of those lines was so long that I was able to chat up the cutie behind me and make a date. Had the line been a bit longer, we might have married and had kids.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002307775727577446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187403837913738089.post-52899376194940366292014-01-15T09:33:55.453-06:002014-01-15T09:33:55.453-06:00I should have connected the issues of disrespectfu...I should have connected the issues of disrespectful treatment of students at the bookstore and of lack of child care with the current scandal of the interim provost's apparent plagiarism of large parts of her dissertation. The failure to hire the best people available into administrative positions (think interim president Pogue of a few years ago) is another example of the racist contempt in which CSU students (and, by association, the faculty) are held.Paul Gomberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532991282987477464noreply@blogger.com
