Etwas ist nicht ganz koscher

An earlier post on this blog noted the surprise ouster of the president of the University of Virginia.  A report in Inside Higher Ed today indicates that the Board of Visitors (U-VA equivalent of the UC Regents) fired her because she allowed too much German to be taught.  "...One of the most specific disagreements between board members and Sullivan was their view that she 'lacked the mettle to trim or shut down programs that couldn't sustain themselves financially, such as obscure academic departments in classics and German.'  To faculty members and others at the university who have been puzzled and dismayed since word last Sunday of (President Teresa) Sullivan's forced resignation, news that she may have been punished for protecting liberal arts disciplines seems likely only to increase support for Sullivan and anger with the Board of Visitors..."

    I am really enjoying the theme/design of your
    weblog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues?
    A couple of my blog readers have complained about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in
    Chrome. Do you have any solutions to help fix this issue?
