    So the “sponsored by” list means all of those Deans were asked by the Provost to share the hit, right?

      Deans? No, the faculty, OA’s, and staff will pay for this – so sign up early and get your free book! Oh wait, I mean “contribute positively for this”.

        UOM don’t forget the student tuition money. They are probably the ones paying for this.

    It’s not enough to underpay you. To completely destroy your hope we have to spend the money on fools like this, and then make you watch them.
