I was talking to a prospective student today, and she made a great point -- after a month of debate back and forth about health care, she has no idea what is really on the table.... How can that be?
I told her I think she is right to be confused; there certainly was a lot of discussion in August on health care, but I am not sure we made much progress. In fact, Daily Kos noted that even with all of the contentious town halls and tons of money advertising, there nearly no movement in polling for or against health care reform as a result.

National Journal Online has a nice video link and a long write-up of yesterday's GSPM-sponsored lobbying forum. You can catch the action on their blog, "under the influence," which covers the DC lobbying industry. Theresa Poulson's entry, "White House's Eisen: K STreet Rules Evolving," tells the story and includes a series of video clips from the event. You can catch the story at http://undertheinfluence.nationaljournal.com/2009/05/white-house-ethics-adviser-lob.php

If you have not already done so, please fill out course evaluations on the Blackboard site for each of your classes.
We use evaulations to track course performance, modify existing courses, identify new course needs, and to help make all of our teaching better. The dean and each program director review the evaluations at the end of each term and talk to the faculty abut the results. We cannot make the programs better without your help!
