New mission statement: making it count
The Regents are not alone in their inability to figure out how many institutions comprise the University of Colorado. That has been an amusing exercise since I've worked here. Why not let the number of chancellors determine the magic number? I count three.
This institutional confusion brings up that expensive branding study. I thought that was supposed to help guide the university in figuring out our identity.
In terms of the university's mission statement, naming a number is not important. But I would suggest changing "high-quality education and professional training" to "the highest-quality."

Fashion statement falls flat

It caught my eye in the sports section that the Buffs had commemorative jerseys and helmets (for the Wyoming game).

How much of the money that we don't have did this cost? We are all tightening our belts, some layoffs, some furloughs. Couldn't they have bought patches?
