Practical Water Conservation Will Save Utah

By By Cris Brockway • April 3, 2002

While walking across campus today, I was struck quite suddenly by a sure sign of spring and things to come. Hit right in the face by a well-timed sprinkler. It's easy to forget those silent snipers, what with their having lain dormant all winter long. But now it's time to dodge them again.

The Chronicle’s View: Poor Decision Making In Montague Situation

April 3, 2002

The biology department's attempt to fire Fred Montague proved as ill-fated as it was ill-thought out. The decision hurt one man, his family and threatened hundreds of students. If other departments on campus can tighten their belts by 4.7 percent by cutting paper, paper clips and personnel not directly affecting instruction, why couldn't the biology department? How could the department view a man who advises about 700 undergraduates and generated more than $69,000 in enrollment funds last semester as dispensable? And as an adviser, teacher and active member of the U community, Montague could hardly qualify as "non-essential" staff.

The Biology Department Cuts Too Deep, Threatening a Valued Teacher and Adviser

By , , and • April 2, 2002

When the biology department decided to cut Fred Montague's position, it humanized a shrinking budget. On paper, those numbers must have looked clean and decisive, but applied to reality they blur painfully into a telling decision by the department. As a soon-to-be graduate of the biology program, I cannot help but feel that the department's actions reflect dismally on how it values its undergraduates.
