A backwards process of writing the Executive Summary, before the underlying document, or even before the facts in the document have been established. At the Sociology department at the University of Las Vegas, do they accept term papers with so little academic rigor or a month late, because it’s too important. If it was important, they would’ve gotten the work done, that’s what PhD professors like Dr. Lang always say, they don’t accept work late, and if you don’t graduate who cares.<\/p>\n
Of course, those kind of rules don’t apply to the Nevada Vision Stakeholders because what they are doing is so important, and the Chair just simply decided that’s the way it’s going to be. Most of the members of Vision Stakeholders Group were expecting to stay all day to vote on the squishy document they had, but instead of telling everyone that the day before, Dr. Lang just waited until the meeting was starting to let everyone know they just wasted the entire afternoon. Nice work.<\/p>\n
Let me see if I can explain this, so everyone understands. IF someone in Brooklyn decided to hire a political lobbyist from Nevada to run their political campaign, and after just two weeks they won, and then that Nevadan was chosen to lead a discussion on cutting welfare, and pushed their values on people they didn’t even know, after living in their town for such a short time, what do you think the reaction would be? What would the level of trust be? Remember were talking about Brooklyn now, not Las Vegas, they don’t get blinded by all the razzle dazzle back there, trust me. Shouldn’t a sociology professor know about that kind of cultural reality in every community, including Nevada? After being forced to take a sociology class as a requirement, I am familiar with this lack of knowledge on the part of such well educated professionals.<\/p>\n
It’s not first time someone has moved to Nevada thinking they know so much more then the rest of us, and just like others who’ve chosen the same path to our neighborhood, Dr. Lang will eventually figure it out. To fully understand everything about the relationship between Brookings Mountain West and the University of Las Vegas, I have put in a request for information with Challcellor Dan Klaich of NSHE. It will be interesting to see what they are will to share, how much money is being spent, where that money is coming from, and how the University System in Nevada was able to add all this expensive intellectual capital, after complaining so bitterly about budget cuts to point of open rebellion against the state government over the last 4 years. Yes, that will be interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
