Thanks to Candice for pointing out James Tower’s E-Expectation Series – a series of reports on “e-expectations” of students (high school and college) and their implications for recruitment. I haven’t read any yet, but hope to soon — if you have, please post …
Check http://nptechboston.wikispaces.com/ for another presentation from the prolific Beth Kanter on what’s loosely called Web 2.0.
From FeminstLawProf.org:
Today’s 5-4 decision ruling against a woman bringing a pay equity case is available here. [Read more]
While the article itself is of interest, you might want to know how I found it. I’ve got my RSS reader watching Technorati for “high authority” blogs mentioning pay equity. The Feminist Law Professors Blog, administered by Ann Bartow of the Univ. of South Carolina School of Law, is one that we may want to watch for other ties to AAUW issues — the previous post, for instance, is on sexual harassment.
The AAUW folks over at MySpace have posted a note about the AAUW logo. It was convenient that the Leadership and Training Institute was formed about the time that the Legal Advocacy Fund was folded into the Educational Foundation so that the “3 corporations” symbolism in the logo could be maintained. With the restructuring proposed at the national level and to be voted upon at the convention in Phoenix, we will become, for all intents and purposes, a single corporation, so a new logo will, I guess, be in order. Graphics designers, put on your thinking caps! There are rumblings, too, of a new name. What do you think of just “AAUW” (i.e. no longer an acronym, just a word by itself — like AARP). Other suggestions?
This post is mainly to check to see if MySpace does anything intelligent with a trackback from another blog. My prediction is “no,” but I thought I’d check.
Even after a couple of requests, I still haven’t received confirmation on whether or not there will be a web managers’ SIG in Phoenix. Well even if it’s not official, let’s plan to get together to tackle some of the issues I’ve been discussing here.
