Our university paid $40,000 to the clickers makers just a couple of years ago. And now it turns out that the company is ditching the whole shebang we paid for and wants us to start paying all over again for the digital model. Which many of our students will not even be able to use because it requires Internet access. And we have a significant number of classrooms with no such access.
So those $40,000 were effectively flushed down the toilet on clunky hardware that is now unusable.
If Rauner – or anybody- really wanted to trim the budget and remove these idiotic “technological solutions” while closing down the multicultural diversity and leadership networking operations on campus, that would be a great idea. But no, this kind of shit is funded by the bucketful while I’m not in any way confident that my Texas conference will be funded.
OK, that’s it for clickers for this week, I promise.

Run for public office in a jurisdiction where I can vote and I will vote for you!
Or apply for an administrative job on my campus. Just let me know in advance, so I can get myself on the search committee somehow.
