A discussion of policy, politics and culture in government and society.
Opening a dialogue, I feel, would be nothing but beneficial for the Northern community. I believe there ought to be greater interdepartmental conversation and perhaps some cross-curriculum initiatives (I'm all about interdisciplinary education). I think a web forum would be a great place for Departments to share what they are working on and start discussions that can be seen by the NMU community. Though I feel as though there are many drawbacks to the online blog-model (i.e. face-to-face interaction, less personal), the discussion would begin. In a time when the intersections of serious budget cuts and serious need for an energy-independent future are at a crossroads, we need our small community to be informed and talking.
