Edinboro yet again criticized.. This time about the construction

And from Michael Chevalier in Fairview. And very well done- thanks for pointing this out, Michael!

 

“Why not start a stimulus package locally? Edinboro University of Pennsylvania missed a great opportunity to stimulate the local economy when constructing its new student housing project.

It chose instead to hire a developer from Texas and a general contractor from Williamsville, N.Y. As a result, the majority of businesses and workers involved in this project were brought in from New York, Ohio and the Pittsburgh area.

I would hope that if and when Edinboro proceeds with a second phase of this construction project, it consider it a priority to support local businesses and workers so that local students can afford to go to school there.”

How is Edinboro going to get the money to fund for this? Accepting ANY STUDENTS AT ALL? Mostly second chance (and now THIRD chance students) which in some casses puts the non-second/third chance students in danger. There’s students here who have a laundry list of crimes on their record if you look them up, some commited not more than a year ago!

Explain THAT shit.

 

 

Later, we’ll go over how corrupt the current SGA is and how it’s totally a mystery how the school lets it be this corrupt.

steve marple passes away- edinboro loses another great student

Steve was a really cool dude on the campus. He put up with a lot of shit on the myspace forums but took it like a trooper until he was accepted by everyone, and became generally a badass motherfucker. Such a nice guy.

 

Steve was 22, and a fucking cool dude.

 

My sympathies to his family and friends.
