Many of you know I work for James Madison University, it's no secret and I don't say anything that would impact my job on here. So it's no big deal that I put it out there.
I just had to share these three stories, because JMU just can't get on their feet, lately, before some other news hits.

https://thefederalist.com/2021/09/21/as-inflation-and-national-debt-grow-jmu-educates-future-accountants-about-incest/
Now, as I am an employee I will refrain from saying too much. All I will say is that I can't decide whether or not I like the fact we seem to be aggravating the right-wing media outlets. The middle story is really the most significant one, and because it is the focus of a lawsuit I definitely will not get into it much, but I can definitely say it is the one which makes me the most uncomfortable with the university's actions.
