I wonder how much Loyola benefited in Springfield over the years because of Senate President Mike Madigan and (former) House Speaker John Cullerton, both Loyola alums?


Strike that. Reverse it.

I also find the removal of the list of Trustees baffling. They used to post trustee meeting minutes, too. That's where I found proposals for a basketball practice facility on a lot on Broadway, south of campus.

Are you saying Madigan and Cullerton hurt Loyola? I was implying that they were in a position to funnel grant money, tax breaks, etc. to Loyola.

Oops...

When I was at hell weekend pledging Alpha Sigma Phi Cullerton, who had graduated a couple years earlier and was in law school at the time, showed up just to harass the pledges. None of us had ever seen him before. What an asshole.

Harvard just announced that all course instruction for 20-21 academic year will be taught online. Tuition remains the same.

Not a good sign at all. Ivy League was the first to cancel their conference tourney and, at first, people scoffed at them. Then everyone quickly followed suit.


Harvard can get away with keeping tuition the same, most schools cannot.

We know a few of the trustees now, including the new chair

Loyola is officially a gynocracy. I knew it was coming when I saw the tampon dispenser next to the urinal in the Damen Student Center.
Oh well, I guess we had a good run.

I'm thinking of coming up with a Swellafelon list of expected changes at Loyola to reflect the power shift. Should be hilarious! Not to mention highly offensive to Millennials of all genders.

Ramblers basketball lost a strong advocate in Bob Parkinson. I wonder what kind of athletic supporter Susan Sher will be.
