You taking suggestions?dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Mar 26, 2024Oh I got the entire repave funded, lighting, plantings, and banners and it all took a few hours in my free time.

I do things in real life too, in relative obscurity.

Seems HSSU dodged a bullet and should use this as an opportunity to self reflect on the appropriate ways to promote diversity and quash any institutional culture that does not represent an ethical approach to achieving that aspiration.
I assume the lawyers (the true winners here) will take their piece.dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Mar 25, 2024So the outcome of the lawsuit is that the HS has to basically reshuffle some money around in effect?

Yes, I can guarantee that the lawyers who have represented this poor woman without any compensation through this years’ long process will take every dime to which they are more than rightfully owed and deserving.

I mean ok. You could say the plaintiff deserved the settlement money too which she apparently graciously donated back to the school. Even with that donation the portion going to lawyers is money not going to support students. I don't dispute that HSSU was legally in the wrong as a court and the appeals court found as such. I also don't dispute that lawyers when working for their respective clients have to be compensated in one form or another. I don't fault them, its their role but i do think it is by its very nature is a regrettable inefficiency in our system of arbitration and i don't think you can brush it off as no impact to the students or institution i.e. 'shuffling money around'.JaneJacobsGhost wrote: ↑Mar 26, 2024Yes, I can guarantee that the lawyers who have represented this poor woman without any compensation through this years’ long process will take every dime to which they are more than rightfully owed and deserving.

Debating whether lawyers should get paid isn’t relevant to this discussion at all.JaneJacobsGhost wrote:Do you work for free?STLEnginerd wrote: ↑Mar 26, 2024I mean ok.

Harris-Stowe breaks ground on $62 million building that will beef up its STEM offerings
https://www.stlpr.org/education/2026-01 ... -offerings
Students at Harris-Stowe State University will have access to state-of-the-art facilities when construction is completed on a $62 million STEM center.
The new hub for science, technology, engineering and mathematics study and research will stand on the university’s campus at the corner of Compton and Laclede avenues.

Looks like a great addition. Article says Laclede and Compton, I don’t remember a ton of space there.
This is in the open area to the north of the main administrative building. I enjoy college/university plazas. This seems to take HSSU in the right direction.
$2.5M permit issued for interior and exterior renovations to 100 S Garrison. Adjacent to HSSU campus.

What’s hard to understand is why there continues to be so much investment and spending in a university that appears to be on a path toward closure.
State and federal funding probably ensure it will not close.

Not with what the state just passed for splitting high ed dollars
The State Senate restored higher education funding to the status quo, but I think we should expect there to be a major overhaul in the next couple years that will put several state universities on the chopping block, including Harris-Stowe.dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑8:07 PM - 4 days agoNot with what the state just passed for splitting high ed dollars
