Time Challenged in Murphy Hall?
Time is a complicated thing to understand. For example, today in the LA Times today you will read that:
Daylight saving time began at 2 a.m. Sunday morning, meaning the clocks “spring forward” one hour. The change will mean that there will be more hours of daylight... (italics added)
And just as the LA Times seems to be chronologically (and astronomically) challenged, so, too, does whoever is hanging on to the top secret business plan for the hotel/conference center.
To get the plan before the Regents meeting in late March, it will have to be released this coming week. The stalling and secrecy to date suggests there is something to hide; it isn’t a clever strategy. In fact, it is a repeat of the failed strategy for the original proposal. Last time, the project was kept under wraps and then quietly unveiled shortly before summer in the hopes no one would notice. But folks did notice and eventually the Academic Senate reacted. Given the March meeting of the Regents, this time around even the do-it-just-before-summer approach isn’t available.
There isn’t all the time in the world for the grand unveiling. Or is there?
