Nanocollege to split from UAlbany ?

[UAalum72]

He's about class of '65, I think. I remember him writing about being a student when the Great Dane was chosen mascot. Had too many Rob Roys over the years. (he once was the T-U restaurant reviewer and judged places by their RRs).

Wow can you say baised? Must not have heard about that new bussiness building to the right side of Collins Circle; or the renovations to the lecture halls or all the other infustructure improvements going on. Instead he focuses on one (the stadium) which will bring in millions for the community and the fountain (including water tower) which aside from looks also provides vital water supplies to all of the dorms, darn poor use of funds to improve the safety of those living on campus; how stupid we must be to waste capital appropriations for that.

Though he may have meant the fountains out front, again fails to understand that capital funds don't affect French classes.

 

Response from a UA professor: UAlbany has a strong educational mission

Ferdinand "Fred" LeBrun was definitely pre'65. I am a little embarrassed that he demeans the institution that prepared him to practice his profession.

Hey, he has to make a living and maybe knocking UAlbany at the Times Union is the only way he can put food on the table.

Nice straightforward response. Professor Asal was..and I presume continues to be..a great instructor and mind at the university.
