The New Provost

It is a time of cautious prosperity for the UA and perhaps the perfect time for George Davis to take over as Provost and vice president for undergraduate education. Awaiting the decision of Arizona voters in November, more money may be coming and the University of Arizona's gift campaign is starting to roll - already bringing in $75 million a year.

Now, all that exists is one central Web site that combines all online courses from the three state universities. But within a few years, this could become the Arizona Regents University, with full accreditation.    [More]

Hacking up the music scene
[news] In 1993, still years away from graduating from the University of Texas, Mark Morris knew that he could find success without that lofty college degree. Now, seven years later, he and his fellow Dynamite Hack bandmates are beginning to realize the difference between a successful college graduate and a successful rock star.    [More]

Quotable:
"That's a request for a death warrant for each of these five companies. That amount will destroy each of these companies, not once, but 10 times over. It's more than financially destroyed. They're gone."
